If your brand new to using Traffic Exchanges, there is a LOT to learn.
This is my simple guide to using them effectively, in as short &
sweet of a fashion as I am capable of :)
First I want you to keep this as simple as possible while you are
learning. I recommend using at least 5 exchanges even as a beginner, but
if you want to just use 1 to get a feel, go ahead.
My Guidelines for how to use Traffic Exchanges Effectively:
SPEND YOUR CREDITS WISELY! They go darn fast once you allocate them so
spend them wisely. Try to figure out your montly goal and how to achieve
it. For instance, if you want 2,000 hits/month, you need to earn 500
credits per week. If you use 5 exchanges all you need is 100 credits,
per week, on each exchange - This is about 1 hour of surfing a week.
Surfing is WORK, in my opinion - It's not fun - It is only a vehicle to promote my business and I don't waste my credits.
Promote mostly Free advertising for THEIR business. Surfers are NOT
interested in more business opportunities so no selling. Selling
directly on a traffic exchange is a huge mistake. They are all their to
promote their business, not join a bunch of new ones (when they aren't
succeeding with theirs in the first place)
Use only Splash Pages - Quick & to the point pages. You only have a
couple seconds to grab attention and if they have to scroll, it's not
going to work very well. Your results will go WAY up if you are
promoting FREE Opportunities that are simple and to the point!
Remember that this is a process: You aren't going to get rich next week.
You are going to spend your first couple weeks only learning about how
exchanges work. Please be patient and don't give up when it doesn't
"Happen Overnight" for you
Don't Miss Your Bonus Pages: My own top 5 free exchanges are listed
because of their bonus pages and extra credits you can earn. Learn where
they are and try not to miss them. Those 3-7 bonus credit links will
add up Quick, so make sure your getting them.
Don't be stupid - If your goal is to get referrals on other traffic
exchanges, don't waste your credits promoting an exchange on the same
exchange. As in, don't put up a HitSafari Referral Page ON the HitSafari
site! I hope you just said "I would never do this", but I see it all
the time while i'm surfing - PLEASE don't waste your credits this way.
THEY ARE TOO VALUABLE TO WASTE!
Focus your efforts! Promote only 3 or so websites at each exchange.
Remember that a GREAT signup rate is 1 for every 120 page views so
choose your BEST pages to promote. Don't promote 12 different sites
poorly. Promote 3 sites with efficiency and get maximum hits! You will
figure out quicker what pages work and which don't. If your trying to
promote 20 URL's, your going to get poor performance for 20 sites! Even
as a pro member at many exchanges, I only promote 3 or 4 different
sites, and I know how to drive a LOT of traffic (20k hits each month
kind of traffic)
Download FIREFOX and Use it! Firefox automatically blocks all pop-ups
for you. It is THE SAFEST way to surf! And it's also the quickest way to
earn large amounts of credits! You can open 3 or 4 tabs and surf them
all at once. In the same time it takes to surf 1 site, you can surf 3 or
4 very easily, earning triple the credits (or more) for the same
effort. It SOUNDS intimidating, but really it's pretty easy.
Understand what you are here for! Your efforts should be focused on
getting Leads & Advertising. Not getting sales or directly
recruiting. Your promotions should be Free & Beneficial for other
surfers. I've wasted so many credits on exchanges while learning this
the hard way. But once I started promoting the Right Sites, my
referrals, signups & income all began growing.
The Google Pages is my own design. It is meant to be different - it may
not be a great splash page but it should illustrate the point - Eye
Grabbing! Free and it's designed to help THEM -
Google Pages is no longer accepting new signups, but there are plenty of
resources you can use to make your own splash pages free - SynthaSite
has free pages with great layouts. You can use Squidoo and create your
page free (A bonus with Squidoo is that Search Engines LOVE Squidoo! You
can also get Organic Traffic this way)
That is a good starting point I think. I have more tips but you aren't
going to learn everything in a day or 2. It's going to take you some
time. Join a couple exchanges and get a feel for them. It took me 5
months to get to this point now. I know this article will save you at
LEAST a month of wasted, Frustrating time on exchanges.
Just remember that opportunity seekers don't surf exchanges for FUN -
They surf to promote their business and are looking for things to
benefit them. Keep that in mind and you'll figure out your own style and
what works for you
To YOUR Success,
Paul
