Free Traffic for your Website
Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on September 20th, 2006 One way that you can gain exposure for your website is by participating in free traffic exchange programs. The concept is pretty simple. You set your browser’s home page to your traffic exchange program’s start page. You create one or more advertisements for your website, and save them. Then, you simply “surf for credits” by clicking a link that displays web pages of other advertisers. You usually have to view a given page for a minimum of 15-20 seconds - this ensures that everyone’s ad has a chance to catch the attention of a prospect. Exchange rates vary, but typically you get one exposure of your own ad for every 2-3 times you view someone else’s ad. If you choose to upgrade to a paid membership that most sites offer, the ratio usually becomes one exposure of your ad for each site you view.
Surfing for credits can become very time consuming. However, if you have a limited advertising budget and can spend perhaps 1-2 hours a day surfing, you can earn lots of free exposures for your own ad.
There are many good traffic exchange sites out there. One that I have found to be particularly effective is TrafficSwarm. I have received a lot of good leads and signups from prospects who found my ads while surfing with TrafficSwarm. Check it out, it’s free!
