Internet Marketing Business Strategies

A lot of people are attracted by the idea of building their list with traffic exchanges, but are not aware of the 7 best traffic exchange tips to achieve great results, month in and month out.

Most traffic exchanges offer free and paid membership, and many people join them as free members, post their main affiliate program sales page, and start clicking.

Pretty soon, a large number of those same people give up because their results are unsatisfactory.

Yet, other people are doing well with traffic exchanges and have integrated their use into their overall sales and recruiting strategy.

Like everything else, there is a right way and a wrong way to use traffic exchanges. Most people are doing it WRONG!

Here are my best traffic exchange tips to help you benefit from solid, tried and tested traffic exchange techniques.

Traffic Exchange Tactic #1: Squeeze Pages

I began to get better results when I started using squeeze pages with a freebie offer on them instead of trying to promote my main sales page directly to traffic exchange surfers.

Traffic Exchange Tactic #2: Upgrade Your Account

Manually clicking for credits is okay if you have nothing better to do with your time, but for more efficient use of your time, and for more effective results you need to concentrate on ways to generate credits automatically.

The quickest way to do that is to upgrade your account.

Once you have upgraded your traffic exchange account you will earn more credits per click. Also, you will start to earn more credits each time someone joins the traffic exchange via your affiliate link.

That is an important point, because building a downline of traffic exchange users will generate more credits for you. Some of the top traffic exchange users generate thousands of credits per month simply by recruiting affiliates for the traffic exchange.

Traffic Exchange Tactic #3: Take Advantage Of OTOs And Special Offers

Traffic exchanges are always looking for ways to sell more credits and one way they do that is to offer their members special rates on credit purchases.

Typically, when you sign up as a free member you will be presented with a “One Time Offer” (OTO) of an upgrade on very generous terms. If you can afford it, go for it as you will get a better deal than if you upgrade later.

From time to time you will also be presented with special credit deals, and these are also worth taking advantage of. So, watch out for them and get into the mindset of actively taking advantage of the offers that come your way.

Traffic Exchange Tip #4: Understand How Each Traffic Exchange Works

No two traffic exchanges are completely alike. Every one has it’s own specific character and benefits. Get to know what the benefits of each of the traffic exchanges you use are – and take full advantage of them. You can end up with hundreds or even thousands of extra credits on each TE per month if you know how to use them right.

Traffic Exchange Tip #5: Promote Your Main Traffic Exchange On Other Traffic Exchange Sites

One traffic exchange technique I recommend is to join as many traffic exchanges as you can and then start promoting each of your traffic exchanges on on the other TEs. Everybody who is already surfing on one traffic exchange is potentially in the market for another, or for several.

One way to do this without spending too many of your credits is to use your banner and text ad credits on each TE to promote other TEs.

Traffic Exchange Tip #6: Fill In Your Downline Builders

Inside the members’ area of a typical traffic exchange you will find a number of resources including a “downline builder”. Once you have signed up to several TEs, fill in the downline builders on each TE with your other TE affiliate links. If you do this on all the TEs you have joined you will get a regular trickle of people signing up to your TEs and earning you extra credits.

You can also contact those people, build up a business relationship with them, and plug them into your other business downlines.

Traffic Exchange Tip #7: Track & Split Test Your Ads

Each time you want to run a campaign, write create two slightly different splash pages then track and split-test them using the free TE Toolbox tracking service.

The two pages will compete against each other on the traffic exchanges and the one that gets the better results is the “winner”. Now change the “losing splash page” and set up a new competition. By continually pitching one page against another similar page you will gradually improve your results.
