One of my online friends, Kym, has recently responded to some personal trials by buying a defunct traffic exchange and bringing it back to life! From what I know of Kym, I would not be surprised if it grew into one of the top traffic exchange programs on the Internet.

The exchange is called TrafficShowdown.com. Please check it out if you are a fan of TEs, and if not - check it out anyway and find out what you are missing!

Here are some of the features:

• 50 bonuses credits after your first 100 page surfs.
• Earn cash and residual traffic for every personal referral ($1 for every referal and if you are upgraded you will get up to 50% commission on upgrades and comission on purchases as well!) You still get the $1 per ref even if you are a free member!
• Three levels of membership.
  
• Daily draw for that day's active members.
• Bonus credit pages while you surf.
• 10 second timer.
• Friendly, responsive and dynamic admin (i.e. Kym)!
• Buy credits for nice prices via Paypal.
• Buy the right to have your page as the first seen every time someone starts surfing!

Five Free And Effective Ways To Increase Website Traffic

Once you've set up a fast loading lead capture page and opened an account with a selection of the top traffic exchange programs, the next step is to generate hits to your lead capture page from all the traffic exchanges.

There are two ways to do this: earn credits by clicking on other people's pages, or upgrade to paid membership and get allocated so many credits per month for each month you remain a paid member.

You can use either method, or both together, as I do with TrafficSwarm and Hit2Hit, which in my experience offer the best value for money, especially as paid membership packages usually allow you to earn more credits per click and so are more efficient.

Speaking of efficiency, you would be wise to use Crazy Browser or Firefox as part of your traffic surfing strategy because their browsers include a multi-tabbing feature. Open a separate tab for each traffic exchange and move from one to the other, accumulating hits at several exchanges during the one surfing session.

The point is that there is no need to work just one traffic exchange at a time and sit idly at your computer waiting for a ten-second timer to elapse before you click again. By working several exchanges simultaneously your click rate will escalate rapidly.

The next step is to leverage your traffic exchange credit earning rate by building a downline in the various Traffic Exchanges.

When you recruit some members under your unique link, a portion of the hits they accumulate will be allocated to you, as the referrer.

I have found that a useful way of building a downline on one traffic exchange is to advertise it on other traffic exchange sites. Also, as your main campaign works to build your list, you can run a feature on traffic exchanges in the newsletter that you send to your subscribers.

As you gain experience you will probably want to add new lead capture pages to test which ones have more pulling power, or to build completely new lists with. Once you have several lead capture pages in play you might want to use a rotator, if your traffic exchange accepts them. A rotator is a page that loads a different lead

Simply put, use several of the top traffic exchange programs, to gather leads, with one or more fast loading lead capture pages linked to your auto responder. Purchase, or surf for hits, or do both. This is still a very effective way of capturing leads.

Anyone who is actively building an internet marketing startup business should make a point of using two or three of the top traffic exchange programs in order to build traffic AND generate a regular supply of targeted leads.

Actually, Traffic Exchanges work best when they are used mainly for the latter purpose, i.e. simply as lead-gathering tools.

A common mistake that many eager internet marketing newbies make is to plaster all their affiliate sales landing pages on the traffic exchanges and spend - er, I should say "waste" - several hours frantically clicking. While some sales are certainly generated via landing pages, more than 99% of traffic exchange clicks expended this way are wasted since most people simply ignore the page and move on.

A better strategy is to make a fast loading lead capture page. If possible, make it one which requires no scrolling to read and comes with a short, sharp, irresistibly enticing message (with a generous freebie thrown in), and, of course, some kind of lead capture form. Here is an example of a squeeze page that I am currently promoting on TrafficSwarm:

Once the form is filled in and the "subscribe" button hit, the surfer becomes a lead deposited in your auto responder to receive emails from you.

This is where the money is, because you can promote your business and special offers to all the leads you collect.
