Your Blog & Traffic Exchange Programs

Your Blog & Traffic Exchange Programs

TRAFFIC EXCHANGE VALUE

No one will charge you a penny for participating in a traffic exchange. The programs are invariably free of charge. All that is required of you is your time surfing. Thus, the question you need to be asking is whether a minute of your time is worth a traffic exchange visitor to your blog.
If you enjoy looking at other blogs on a variety of subject, it may be a justifiable expenditure of time. After all, you would probably be doing it anyway, so you might as well get some free benefit out of it. However, if you wouldn’t be checking out others’ blogs otherwise, it may not make a great deal of sense to participate in a traffic exchange.
This is primarily because the quality of traffic you get from exchange programs is limited. Most participants are involved simply because they, like you, want to drive traffic to their blog. They are not really particularly interested in your blog or what you have to say. They may not pay much attention to what you offer on your blog. Instead, they will simply stay there for a few moments (as required to earn their credit) and will then click on to the next blog. You will get traffic. You won’t get targeted traffic.
Now, if your blog is truly spectacular, you might be able to grab the attention of some of the exchange program members. You may also encounter some members who are genuinely interested in your blog. However, the overall quality of traffic exchange visitors is not what you might be hoping for.

FINDING TRAFFIC EXCHANGES

There are numerous exchanges, each offering some slightly different twist on the same overall theme. They can be found easily. A simple Google search of “blog traffic exchange” will bring most of the major players in the field to your immediate attention.

BONUS TIPS

1. Don’t participate as a key part of your strategy! The only time participation in a traffic exchange program makes good sense is if you are going to be cruising around the blogosphere anyway. There are plenty of things you can do with the time you have set aside for blog marketing that will produce longer-lasting and more beneficial results. However, if you are going to be checking out blogs for fun anyway, a traffic exchange program is a nice way of getting something for your time.

2. Don’t let the numbers fool you! Even though participation in a traffic exchange program can get you a slew of visitors, you should realize that many of those directed to your blog probably didn’t pay a great deal of attention to it. Building large traffic numbers is wonderful, but it is only meaningful if the people who took a look did so for some reason other than building traffic exchange credits.

Traffic exchanges do work and are worth the effort in particpating.

****Please note if you do join a program adsense does not approve of these programs they consider it manual clicking.

But if you have a blog with your own products or using widget bucks, adbrite, adtoll, or any other ad revenue generating program join away it will be very benefitual for you.

Oh my. Look if you break the rules we let you know privately. Just because we may not agree with something you say doesn't mean you should fear the wraith of the Xomba Admins. I thought the article was well written. I disagreed with your opinion about Traffic Exchange. That doesn't make me right. I did want to point out that we don't allow them here just in case people didn't read your whole article.

http://www.xomba.com/referral/7778de9b http://www.xomba.com/user/adrienne okay. you won't hear another 2cents from me about those programs. good gravy felt like my butt was sitting on the fire!

I know

I disagree about your opinion on traffic exchanges. It's just my opinion. You didn't violate any rules. However, I want to make sure that users understand that we do not allow them and that Adsense doesn't all them either. So that way there is no confusion. Everything is cool. I just threw my 2 cents in.

Please Note

http://www.xomba.com/referral/7778de9b http://www.xomba.com/user/adrienne Nick I did explain if you have your own website and selling your poducts it was okay. I did warn people about the violations. I told everyone adsense doesn't approve of this, its in the post. I dont use traffic exchanges for xomba. please reply.

Thanks Nick

For letting us know. I will definitely stay away from traffic exchanges. Yikes!

You Will Be Banned For Traffic Exchanges

Let me make this very clear. If you participate in traffic exchanges through Xomba your account will be banned. Adsense will ban you permanently as well. It is best to stay clear from them. I disagree with Adrienne on this. Fraud is fraud. The only reason someone is going to join a traffic exchange is to defraud their advertisers (which are probably small businesses like Xomba). Look into www.Stumbleupon.com if you are interested in just surfing the net. Get reads the old fashion way, by people who actually are interested in what you have to say.

Good Stuff

Thanks for the information.
