Tips for using manual Traffic Exchanges (TEs)
As you probably know, advertising your referral links or sale pages in TEs directly isn't a good idea. You may sending thousands of hits without any results! Why? Because most of surfers only earn TE credits and time for page loading very fast. Here are some tips on how to utilize TE traffic more effectively:
- Use splash pages provided by Traffic Exchanges to build your downlines. They load fast and are designed to grab the surfers' attention in those short seconds before they click on to the next site.
- If you are a member of many different TEs, use a Rotator Service to promote all of your splash pages with a single URL. The free splash page creator services have built-in tracking. So you can track the performance of your splash pages and use your credits to advertise the most effective ones. One of the best Rotator Service is HERE.
- Design your own splash pages using free services like EasySplashBuilder. A custom splash page will usually be much more effective than a default one that most surfers have already seen thousands of times.
- Earn text ad impressions with every view while promoting your splash / squeeze page. Adsvert is a quality text ad exchange which allows traffic from manual TEs. You can place their ad code on a splash page that you designed yourself, or even use the "floating" ad with any URL without the need to modify the website code (Ex: Visit this link).
- Building your list is still the most effective way of using traffic exchange credits, as any marketer will tell you. Offer a free ebook or other bonus to get more subscribers. If that seems daunting, TE Profits can help you get started. It is a complete traffic exchange training and downline building system which also integrates with TrafficWave autoresponder. Upgraded members can rebrand a pre-made campaign with their own links, and offer a valuable TE Profits course to their subscribers.
- Sell your traffic at JoeGeo if you prefer a more direct way of converting your credits to cash. You can set the price yourself starting at $0.10 per 1,000 visitors. Any unsold traffic will be sent to your sites instead. You can also use traffic from a certain country and sell the rest - a great way of getting geotargeted visitors from any TE.

6 Top Secrets about Traffic Exchanges
1. Why Chatting while surfing is important
This is one of the places where you build the online communities awareness of you. The people you chat with are your potential customers. But absolutely, positively, do not SPAM people in chat. Spamming in chat is one of the fastest ways of losing all credibility and good will that you may have already developed. Instead, develop personal relationships because given a choice, people will buy from people they know, trust, and like. A list of a million subscribers buying nothing is worthless compared to a small handful of subscribers that regularly buy what you have to offer. Be patient and build your relationships one person at a time. Remember that even though it may seem that you are only chatting and possibly helping just a single person at a time; your conversation can be seen by almost everyone surfing while you are chatting. You are building a reputation with the entire community while you chat.
2. One picture is worth a thousand words and one video may be a thousand pictures!
If you are advertising something on a Traffic Exchange, remember that your page must load and be appreciated in a very short period of time. Most Traffic Exchanges today have surf timers that range from just a few seconds to a high of only about half a minute; with most Exchanges tending to the lower end especially for upgraded members. So a page full of words; and I have seen some with thousands of words; will never be read. Whatever the message contained in that blizzard of words will simply just not be heard. A much better approach is to use the KISS process (Keep It Stupid Simple). Use the fewest number of words possible to get your point across and even better is a picture which in a single glance can convey the entire conversation contained in a thousand words. But when possible a video is the absolute best choice as even a short video can contain hundreds if not thousands of individual pictures. The motion and sound of a great video can grab attention and get the surfer to stop surfing and listen and watch your message.
3. Splash and Squeeze your way to profits
Instead of trying to give the surfer every piece of possible information on why they should take up what you are offering, you need, no make that must master the splash and squeeze page. Splash and squeeze pages are fast loading pages that quickly grab the viewer’s attention in a single line or two of text or sound, and then gets them to take action. Take some time to look at the pages that others are showing, see what grabs your attention and what seems entirely boring. Make a list of features that grab your attention and incorporate those features in your own designs.
4. DUSAP
DUSAP is a phrase I originally heard from Jon Olson. It stands for Don’t Use Standard Affiliate Pages. Assuming that you are marketing someone else’s product or site; they will make available splash and possibly squeeze pages for you to use to advertise the product or site. Now even though it is very nice of them to do this for you, it is not in your best interest to use those pages. Right about now you are asking WHY? And the answer is that everybody or at least most affiliates for this product will be using those pages and thus the product’s owner will benefit but you will be lost in the se of all those pages that look just alike. Picture in your mind a field of blue flowers and in one spot there is a single red rose in full bloom. What do you think your eye and mind focuses on, the entire field or will they be drawn to that single bloom standing out from the rest like a single SORE THUMB on your left hand that you just hit with a hammer! Look at the pages that the owner has given you to use, and grab the message that is being passed. Then develop or have someone develop pages for you based on those messages. Be the rose, be the sore thumb, be noticed and have viewers become aware of and take action on your offer.
5. Patience is your friend
Everyone wants immediate success, and truth be told most of us would be falling down happy if success and money always fell into our pockets the day before we actually had to do anything. But the reality is that it will take time. It will take time to develop relationships, time to build or acquire a product to sell, time to build advertising, time for the advertising to bring clickers to your offerings. While all of this time is passing you will be learning and improving and build up your business.
6. secret 6th:
Being upgraded at a Traffic Exchange can pay huge dividends Upgraded members get larger commissions on most if not everything that their down-lines buy. This is an important item as it can often triple the commissions that a top upgraded member gets over a free member. Some Exchanges also give you credits from your down-line’s surfing activities. Upgraded members are often given exclusive special offers, better pricing on purchasable items, faster surf timers, and on occasion privileged access to areas of the site not open to free members.
