Traffic Exchanges

Thank you for this wonderful idea. Surely this will help too.

Hmm Catherine, that's a thought. I almost forgot I have TEToolbox (doh) I've been spending way too much time concentrating on the TE's lol

@Paul - I can show you where to get free tracking tools, including a conversion tracker. Just get a free TE Toolbox account. There are so many tools there, I haven't learned how to use them all yet. Check it out.

Hmm, two good points and I believe you are both right, you just see two sides of the coin but it's still a coin. Unless you can afford to use a pay for tracker that actually tells you where you get your click throughs it's hard to tell where you get your signups - at least with me it is. Showing where you get hits is one thing because once you assign your credits you are going to get a view so to say it's affective depends on your terminology. The thing that I'm most interested in is did the per

I will disagree with you on that one Dick. The conception that you can promote any link via a traffic exchange and get a ton of sign ups in wrong. What you can do is Brand Yourself and Build your List. These are the two very important things when building your online reputation. I want to build a relationship with my referrals, not just get random sign ups. I find the traffic exchanges a great place to do this, especially the ones with the chat feature.

I have heard it said that TE'a are now a waste of time. Most people are just putting the pages in tabs and waiting for the counter to zero to get the credits. The proof of the pudding is in the sales? I find Safelists much more effective. All my signups come from Safelists. About 10 per week.

Traffic Exchanges, hmm, to me it's a love'em - hate'em type of thing. They certainly are interesting to see and with all the new ones that come out it is quite a chore to get your ads in there before the next new one comes along lol. It is quite time consuming but often rewarding.

William there are so many TE sites which now have chat. I don't want to use this article as a spam box but, if you are truly interested, send me a message and I will send you a list of my favorites.

:D I like this :D I love traffic exchange personally :P I also enjoy site that offer different type if exchanges :D Which traffic exchange are you talking about that has a chat? :P I just might be a active referral.

Yes, I agree. The best way of developing prospects is by personal contact. The chatting feature is the way to do that.

Bodo

Hi Catherine I certainly need to take advantage of the chatting features on the traffic exchanges. This could be a great benefit to my marketing. Thanks for bring this up :)

Great article! Thanks for the information about Traffic Exchanges!! Good to know :)

Thanks for sharing. I love traffic exchanges lol

It is really very informative and makes you think from a different angle altogether.I shall put it in practice from now on while surfing. Thanks a lot.

@Dons - if you are chatting at traffic exchanges you are building relationships. When a person is not in the same niche as you, this is the perfect person to chat with. Find out what they like and ask for advice on your advertisements. You can get a point of view outside your niche which should improve your marketing efforts in the long run.

@Paul - You say you have been using them for years without results. Hmmmm, this puts a lot of questions in my mind. The main one is what are you mar

Thanks for usefull information..nice idea

TE's have their place I suppose. I use them and have done so for a few years now - I'm a patient guy :-) but for what? I haven't seen any results from them so why keep using them? I can't really answer that one but it gets my ads out. I find for the most part that it's a big time consumer even when using things like TabMixPlus which does save a lot of time. That's my experience anyway. Thanks for reading.

Mmmm! You've just chatted me into it.

You are right about the benefits of chatting with other online marketers. The internet can be so impersonal at times but a traffic exchange with the chat feature allows you to connect with others and make new friends and build business relationships.

I like the idea of chatting with fellow marketers in a traffic exchange but over all I really don't put much faith in them. I believe in building relationships (as pertaining to marketing)based on the premise of an idea or niche. This is what builds true sales not random marketers looking through ads to gain hits. In this way the marketing is based on chance so the hits loose their weight.. Just my thoughts on the subject.
