Are you looking for the Mr Goodbar of getting Web Traffic?
If one has a limited advertising budget, balancing time against
money is not small feat.  Here are some ideas on   Safelists &
Traffic Exchanges
   that just popped into my head.  Let's hear
your feedback and ideas on the subject.


 Safelists
Traffic Exchanges
Clicking credit links is very time-consuming.  One has to open each email, scroll to the link and open it.  Then close
all the windows or tabs.
Since surfing is done in a frame.  Clicking credit links goes a lot faster.  And if you use tab browsing, it simple to switch back and forth between exchanges, to break up the monotony.

Although you earn a lot
more credits for each credit link, from my experience,
you'll only get a small percentage of clicks to
your site. The best I've
ever gotten is about
30-40%, and that was phenomenal.

If you're a free member, you'll probably get only a fraction of a credit for each of your clicks.  Some TE's do give free members a 1:1 ratio, but the required visit is longer.  However, when you post and assign credits, you'll get the exact number of clicks as your credits.

Along the same lines as above, if you decide to buy credits, multiply the price by three.
If you buy TE credits, you get the same number of clicks as credits purchased and you can divide them up as you please re: which days, sites and number of clicks to each site.

From my experience, as a free member of a safelist, f you've properly filtered emails in your contact account, you'll tend to have a lot more safelist credits than TE credits.  So in spite of the fact that clickthroughs are far from 100%, you can always get something out and somethings always better than nothing.

Your credits will tend to go fast in a good, active TE.  So there's always pressure to keep up with the clicking, buy credits or upgrade.  I'm still trying to figure out which is more cost effective on a good, established TE.
