Hi Shelly,
Thanks for some great insight and inspiration.
You've second guessed my thoughts exactly - was wondering which to do first - blog vs website.
I started with Twitter because its small and seems easy - a great confidence booster for starters.
See you there.

Shelly, it's been a while since I visited your blog - big mistake on my part. Thanks for the URLs and I agree with you on the guru emails. I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven when I started reading and STUDYING them!
You continue to inspire.

Manual Traffic Exchange

The best internet marketing strategies include at least one manual traffic exchange.

Of course we all dream of the day when Google will send thousands of unique and eager visitors to our website or blog each day. Until that day comes, a good network marketing tool to have up your sleeve is a manual traffic exchange or two.

What is a manual traffic exchange?

Basically it's a place where website owners gather and view each others sites.  Each one has slightly different rules.  Most offer a way for you to get your site seen for free.  Bottom line is the less money you spend the more time you'll have to invest to get your sites seen.

This is a good way for folks to generate some traffic and interest in their sites without spending much if any money.

What should you look for in a manual traffic exchange?

The best ones offer 1:1 conversion rates.  That is your site is shown to someone each time you view someone else’s website.  Usually that rate is reserved for paying members.  A decent conversion on a free account would be 2:1. Or for each two websites you view yours will be shown once.

Something else to look for is the ability to build a team and leverage off their efforts.  When you build your team the traffic exchange will either pay you with impressions (one impression equals showing your site to one person), with cash or both.

What is the best traffic exchange?

There are literally thousands of traffic exchange programs available on the web.  Which one you choose will depend as much on your personality as anything else.  Some offer games and competitions. Others get right down to business with no frills or bells and whistles.

The two I use are...

  • TrafficSwarm... I like this traffic exchange because it's HUGE.  There are literally tons of folks using it and it's been around for a long time.  It's easy to use and you can show up to 10 ads with a free account. Unlimited ads with a paid account. They reward you with cash and impressions for your team building efforts. They are a no nonsense site that delivers on what they say they will.  Oh, and there's a daily lottery where you could win 10,000+ impressions if you're lucky. You are allowed to surf up to 250 sites daily here. I figured this out in terms of what you'd have to pay them for the number of credits you receive from your 250 clicks and it boils down to about $30.  So if you click 250 times a day you've gotten $30 worth of advertising.  If you do this daily that will really add up in a hurry. I figure this is worth doing.

  • EasyHits4U... This is an extremely easy to use and inexpensive website traffic exchange.  They also pay out in both cash and impressions. One nice feature of EasyHits4U is there banner traffic exchange.  You are allowed to list not only a website but a banner with them as well.  You are also allowed unlimited ads here once you upgrade and they will place people randomly into your downline if they sign up without a sponsor.  Up to 100 folks a year.
Making the most of your manual traffic exchange.

If you are going to take the time to surf for traffic you want it to be as productive as possible.  This is why I recommend you sign up at least 2 traffic exchange programs and surf them simultaneously.  You can even do it while watching TV or chatting with folks on Facebook or what ever.

What I do is open each one in a separate browser window minimized so that both timers can easily be seen at the same time.  Then just click back and forth between the two.  (at  Renegade University you'll find step-by-step tutorials on how to set up your Traffic Swarm account as well as tutorials on basic computer skills needed to work online such as opening and working in two browser windows at the same time)

As your surfing keep your eyes open for ads that "work"... ads that catch your attention and make you want to know more.  Take note of these for future ads of your own.

When plotting out your best internet marketing strategies be sure to include at least one manual traffic exchange to jump start your internetwork marketing.

Live Your Dreams!
