How to get MAJOR traffic from Traffic Exchanges

I am writing this blog post because I want to have a "Quick Start" to get traffic exchange success for my Traffic Exchange Profits signups.

However, this is also very applicable to ALL Traffic Exchange Users, if they want to learn how to REALLY drive Traffic with Exchanges.

UPDATE Sept 13 - I've had a few questions about how many hits I'm talking about. I'm talking about 20,000+ hits, every month - That's what I send on Traffic Exchanges - That's what I've been sending for awhile. Over the past 3 weeks (since launch my own exchange, EasyRiderHits.com, I went and bought even more credits and am on a pace to send about 30k this month)

Surfing wise I used to surf 6-8 hours each week. I would surf 9 to 10 exchanges at the same time. Using Firefox this is actually easier than it sounds - On avg, I would get 100 hits on each exchange, per hour - So a 1 hour surf session would earn me 900 to 1000 hits -

So with this math, my approximate surfing results would generate 6k - 8k hits/week -

I did spend some money also - Traffic Splash, Ilove Hits, Swat, HitSafari and a few others I have pro memberships at -

I was surfing this much when I was focused on building Traffic Exchange Profits. Over a 6 week period I got over 250 prospects into that system.

I also used this to build my own Power Traffic Email List - Got over 550 people on that list, but it took several months - *end of update :)

I want to keep this as short and informative as possible, so I will TRY to avoid going into too much detail - Fact is I could write PAGES of tips about what to promote, how to get referrals, how to earn income, what type of pages actually work on traffic exchanges, building your own list -

Short & Sweet "Trust me on this" tips -

Download Mozilla Firefox - Surf 5 exchanges at the same time with Tabbed Browsing - You will get at LEAST 5x as much done this way!

Use a ROTATOR! Enter JUST your rotator URL on ALL your exchanges. Many reasons for this, but most of all it's a huge TIMESAVER! By updating JUST your rotator, you automatically update ALL your traffic exchanges at the same time (vs. having to go into 10 different exchanges updating your websites!) I use Track That Ad - It's 100% free with zero reason to upgrade.

Use ONLY Splash Pages! Short Sweet Pages that demand an action. Do NOT promote an affiliate link or sell anything directly on an exchange. Surfers are only there to get credits to advertise THEIR websites

That's enough to start:

Traffic Exchange Profits is what I use. This is the most streamlined and effective Traffic Exchange system I have found.

It builds referrals for traffic exchanges - You earn instant income - You build residual income - It comes with TONS of EXCELLENT advertising pages - And it only costs $5 to enter and use this system

Short & Sweet Results list from TEP - 72 referrals for Traffic Splash, 42 referrals for Traffic Witch - 5 Traffic Wave signups - $285 instant income - Various other referrals for traffic exchanges because of Traffic Hoopla.

The system does all the selling - All I have to do is give away the free reports - The system does all the followup, all the explaining etc.

In my first 5 weeks with TEP I have 185 prospects - People who have signed up for the free report and are receiving the follow up letters.

Those are OUTSTANDING results from Traffic Exchanges - However, I'm not going to kid you. I send MASSIVE traffic in order to get those kind of results.

Lets get to the DIRT :)

The Best FREE Traffic Exchanges:

WebBiz Insider - Easy to earn credits, top ranked, email your downline features.

Traffic-Splash - Always top ranked, bonus credits, great promotions

EasyHits4u - Great free traffic exchange

Hit Safari - Lots of bonus credits, highly ranked exchange

HitsBooster Pro - Newer exchange, outstanding to surf

4x4 Hits - Great free exchange - Good to VARY your promotions on different exchanges also!

Now, you take 5 of those, add your rotator (only!) as your 1 website, and allocate all hits to it.

Reality Check Time: If you think you will get results from surfing 1-2 hours/week, you are way off. These are the best FREE Exchanges and you can earn enough credits to start achieving results, but you will NEED to surf - The best way to get MORE credits from your surfing is to surf longer sessions - As in, give yourself a 2 hour block of time, open up 5 exchanges, and surf them all.

Why? Because most traffic exchanges give you ESCALATING surf ratios. As in, you will often get more credit after you surf 100 pages in 1 night, vs. surfing 30 pages daily all week long.

Like Traffic Splash has a great promotion where everytime you surf 100 sites, you turn in a support ticket and get 2,500 text ad credits - FREE

So surf 2 to 3 nights/week for a couple hours each night.

How to Spend SOME Money and get MUCH Better Results!

I am a spender when it comes to traffic exchanges. I have several pro memberships and I will buy the OTO credit specials when I have some extra money. The Traffic Exchanges below are NOT worth surfing, unless you are a pro member -

I might be writing too much, but there is 1 important part that I want you to get when it comes to spending any money on Traffic Exchanges:

You don't spend money on a pro upgrade so you can advertise 30 different sites - This does nothing but DILUTE your efforts! You don't upgrade for the 700 credits/month or whatever. You don't upgrade for Banner or Text credits (although you SHOULD be using them - never buy them, but always USE them - they are FREE!) -

The only reason to pay for an upgraded membership is the Surfing Ratio - That's it - With many free exchanges, you have to surf 3 sites to get 1 hit. Those sites are NOT included in my best exchanges (aside from Traffic-Splash, but that is made up for with the bonus credits)

Yeah, even if you do spend money, you should still be surfing. But when you spend money, you get 2-3 times as many credits as free members - That's the ONLY reason to upgrade

Here are my favorite exchanges that I recommend a Pro Membership for:

Traffic-Splash - Good for free also, but the pro earns you 50% commission and a much better surfing ratio

ILoveHits - $9/month gives you at least a 1;1.25 surfing ratio. You will OFTEN be earning 1.5 hits and sometimes 2.5 hits for each site you surf

Hit2Hit - Always top ranked exchange, but don't join unless you get a pro membership. What I did was join free, then waited for a special offer. Right now I'm on a $7.50/month pro membership with 500 credits/month, but I get the 1:1 surf ratio - So take one of the special offers, or don't use it

SWAT Traffic - The sister exchange to ILoveHits - Some of the best upgrades online. 5k hits/month for $15 (special!), $9/month for 2,500 credits, 50k banners, 100k text ads (again, special one time Offer thing - otherwise pro members pay like $16/month here - not worth that much)

Traffic Witch - If you can afford the OTO, GRAB IT! Here is why - $67 for an entire year is a GREAT deal. But beyond this, you will earn 50% on all upgrades. By getting just 1 upgraded referral, you earn $50 INSTANTLY! Nearly paying for your entire year membership! If your using TEP, I would highly recommend getting the upgrade here (and not just because i'm in it :)

HitsBooster Pro - You get an automatic 1 week upgrade here when you join. What I was offered after this was a full 1 year membership for $35! With that I get the pro surf ratio, 50% commissions, monthly credits etc - All on a Traffic Exchange that is top ranked by Traffic Hoopla! This works out to be about $3/month - That's a STEAL

HitSafari - Special offer to TEP members. Inside the TEP members area you will find a very special link where you get a pro upgrade at HitSafari for $6.99/month - The regular pro membership includes 500 credits/month (around that) - With the TEP Pro Membership offer, this same membership gives you 1,500 credits every month! Again, this is ONLY for TEP members.

If you can spend, say, $40/month on traffic exchanges, you will get exponentially more traffic for the same work. You earn higher commissions, you get better surf ratio's, random referrals etc.

Even if you can only spend a few bucks, get a Traffic-Splash pro membership and the ILoveHits membership - You get a LOT of extra traffic this way :)

So yeah, I highly recommending spending SOME money on traffic exchanges - If you want results, you will have to send massive traffic. That comes down to either Time or Money - Save your time and spend some money -

Here is 1 more "hidden gem" - Each time you get a Traffic-Splash referral, you are offered a 1 time credit special for Fast Easy Traffic (in the Da Da Da Downline Email). The special is $10 for 2k traffic credits - If you purchase this from Fast Easy Traffic, you will then get ANOTHER offer for the same 2k credits from Traffic-Splash - If you can afford to buy credits, do this! The regular 2k hits at Traffic-Splash is about $15, so you save $5 each time - And 2k hits is about 20 hours of single page surfing...so it's worth it - if you can do it -

Like I mentioned, this is specifically geared for my TEP signups. But you can use the same exchanges listed here to drive a lot more traffic to your sites - Whether your in TEP or not -

If you want to earn instant income, build referrals for ALL traffic exchanges, and build residual income, use Traffic Exchange Profits!

If you combine this traffic exchange training with TEP, you WILL get outstanding results!

To YOUR Success - Paul
