Exchanging Time For Traffic

As an internet marketer, most of my time is spent trying to generate traffic to splash pages and websites to make sales. I think I've tried almost everything on the internet to draw traffic. But for most new comer marketers starting out, this can be expensive. So the first thing I suggest are traffic exchanges. Because It's the cheapest way to promote your website and almost guarantee it's visibility. Most traffic exchange systems are free to start and surf (promote). And most have premium services to reach a larger audience.

Unlike other promotional vehicles for drawing traffic (solo ads or per-per-click), most traffic exchanges require manual labor (about 2 hours per day) to get good traffic flowing to your site. Most are setup the same way and can be loaded with up to 5 web addresses (some are unlimited). There are some systems that run automatic, (but who's looking at the ads).

If you don't have the money to promote you website, but have lots of time on your hands, than traffic exchanges are for you. They work on a I-see-your-site, you-see-mine situation, which work out pretty good if the other person likes what they see.

I myself have joined numerous affiliates (home business), browsing traffic exchanges, so they work. If you train yourself to a time schedule for surfing everyday for two hours, you'll see a big different in the amount of traffic as well as sales that come your way.

A lot of guru marketers my thumb their nose at others who use them. That's because they have the money to buy high-end services. But until you get to that level, use traffic exchange. They will save you a lot of money, but will use a little of your time.

Until next time...
