Traffic Magic

The Traffic Exchange 101

Just in case you are new to traffic exchanges, and

found yourself lost in my last articles about specific

use of them, I want to talk to you about some basics

that are important for you to know.

Lets discuss the basic premise of a traffic exchange

and how this system works.
This is a basic explanation on what you can do in a traffic-exchange

and may be skipped by people
who have been advertising using traffic exchanges for a while.

However, I may put a few nuggets
of information in here that you may find useful even if you are

more advanced.

What is a Traffic-Exchange?
In its simplest form a traffic-exchange is a way of driving traffic

to your website in exchange for giving traffic to another user’s website.
Traffic exchanges are membership sites, you join the site and

opt-in to the sites list, so that the owner
can send you news and updates on the program.

In return you can find out more information about what is
going on with the site and may even find a few good deals,

offering credits, surfing contests or co-ops and more.

Websites are viewed inside what is known as a “surfbar”.
There are also other common ways that your site can get traffic

from TE besides using the surfbar,
they are text links, banner ads, and sometimes email ads.
The surfbar typically is a frame around the websites that members

want to advertise that are placed in rotation.

This frame generally has a timer, an area for statistics

such as credits earned, websites viewed,
and links to content within the traffic exchanges,

such as the main members area, Team surf, Inbox,
and purchase more credits section.

There are two types of surfbars –

auto-surfing and manual-surfing.
Auto-surfing surfbars are just what they sound like, the surf bar

advances automatically at the end of each timer.

I HIGHLY recommend that you do NOT

use auto-surfing traffic exchanges.
The main reason is that with an auto-surfing exchange you

can collect credits to your website
but there is no guarantee whatsoever that ANYONE will even

see your website that you are advertising
let alone take action on it.

Your goal isn’t just to get traffic to you website,

but visitors to it also.
A visitor is a living, breathing human being that can actually see

your website, not some program that trades
information with another computer and says that traffic occurred

to your website.
Manual surfbars, on the other hand, require that a human take

action to advance the program to the next
available website to be seen after the timer has elapsed.
