Traffic Exchange rotation

When using Traffic Exchange (TE) sites, I get good results using a tab rotation technique with Firefox.  This type of setup helps to get the most clicks in the least amount of time, without waiting for the site timers.  In this article, I will provide each of the steps needed to get this type of free advertising setup and working for you.

What is a Traffic Exchange site you might ask?

They are sites which allow you to advertise your own Network Marketing, Affiliate, or Business website; in exchange for viewing other member websites.   There are free and paid TE sites, but for this discussion the free sites are good enough to get started.  Different kinds of sites offer automatic or manual viewing.  The manual TE sites are the most stable and have better results, since it requires someone to click a link to continue to the next page in order to get credit for that page view.  This provides the advertiser a good chance to grab the viewers attention in 10-20 seconds.

First step, install the free Mozilla Firefox browser.  Here is a link for their download page.  You can also use IE, Safari, or Chrome.  I like using Firefox since it has better options for groups and tabs.

Second step, here are 9 (nine) of my favorite manual Traffic Exchange sites, that I have organized onto a separate page of this blog site with each of the referral links and banners.  I have used all of them over the years with good results.  Open each site and start the process of creating your own free TE accounts.

Traffic Swarm = Free and Pro traffic exchange site.

Traffic Syndicate 25 (ts25) = Free and Pro traffic exchange site.

Fast Freeway = Free and Pro traffic exchange site.

Traffic Pods = Free and Pro traffic exchange site.

Hit Safari = Free and Pro traffic exchange site.

ILoveHits = Free and Pro traffic exchange site

HitPulse = Free and Pro traffic exchange site

WebBizInsider = Free and Pro traffic exchange site.

HitGusher = Free and Pro traffic exchange site

After you sign up as a new member, you can enter your URL’s (web-speak for the http://mysite.com… web page address).  Once you complete so many initial page views your account will be active, and they will start using all those credits you earn to show your site to other members.  Each site has their own requirements to get started.

Third step, create a group called “Manual TE Sites” and add a bookmark for each of your TE sites into that group.  At the bottom of the group, Firefox has the “Open All in Tabs” feature to open all of those bookmarks at once into their own separate tabs.  If you have a larger monitor with a high-resolution or one of the wide-screen monitors, you could fit 15 or more TE sites into their own separate tabs, leaving room for you to see the name of each TE site name.  On my normal monitor (1024×768) having 8 TE tabs open is about the limit that it can handle.

Rotation step(s), make sure your TE accounts are open in each tab, and they are all on the Surfing for Credits first page view. Click the right icon or number to open the next page view.  At that point that site timer will start counting again.  Using the tabs at the top of Firefox open the next one, and continue the process of clicking the right icon/button for the next web page to be displayed.  Move to the next tab and continue until you reach the last tab, and then you start again with the first tab.

TrafficSwarm note:  Use the right-click menu & “open link in a new tab” option on the “Start Surfing” link in your members section, to open that page in a separate tab.  Otherwise clicking the link will open the surfing page in a new window.

By organizing your bookmarks and their tab order, you can have them all working together in sequence.  This will allow you to earn credits on other sites, while the previous site timer is still counting.  With practice you can have them all setup and working together, and waiting for you to click the timer/button, instead of you waiting for just one site timer to finish.

Using this technique also gives you a chance to advertise more than 3 of your websites, which is the limit that most of the free accounts have.  Some sites have Banner and Text Ad rotation too.  With 8 TE accounts you can have about 25+ of your site links in the rotation at the same time.  You can also use any of the open advertising spots, to advertise your other TE sites as a cross-promotion matrix.
