Traffic Exchange Facts
Traffic Exchanges:
This is one of the most misunderstood forms of generating traffic
because most people don’t know how to use traffic exchanges
effectively. To understand why this is true, you first have to
understand how a traffic exchange works. I will simplify the
explanation.
A traffic exchange is essentially a site where the person using it
agrees to “surf” a number of pages of other people’s sites in order
to earn credits for his own site. The more sites he surfs, the more
credits he earns. For each credit, or several credits, he gets to
show his site to another member of the exchange. That’s the process
in a nutshell.
Okay, so why doesn’t this work for about 99% of the people using
them?
For starters, you have to understand the mentality of the people
using TEs. They are there for one reason and one reason only…to
get credits for THEIR site. They couldn’t care less about your
sales page or opportunity. However, they do care about getting
traffic to their sites. And this is how you can take advantage of
TEs.
What I do is simple. I whip up a short splash page telling people
to stop surfing for traffic until they read my free report. The
free report explains to them how to use TEs and actually get people
to their site, by using this same technique.
From there, once you have them on your list, offer them more good
content on how to generate traffic to their site. Eventually, they
will begin to trust you and may actually purchase one of your
products that you recommend.
The people who use this process are the ones that are successful
with traffic exchanges.
If you REALLY want to get the most out of traffic exchanges, I
suggest you subscribe to my friend Jon Olson’s newsletter. This
guy makes ALL his income off of them.
