Tips To Maximize Your Use Of Traffic Exchanges
Copyright © Leon Bowes
http://www.HonestlyFreeHomeBiz.comUsing traffic exchanges is an good way to generate traffic and promote your business on a tight budget. Lets discuss how you can get a good value for your money with TE advertising credits.
Traffic exchanges generally charge you 1 credit each time your advertisement appears in their rotation. If your ads appear 50 times a day, you are charged 50 credits. If you run out of credits, your ads will stop showing automatically.
There are a number of ways to earn advertising credits on traffic exchanges. The most common way is to surf the traffic exchange and earn credits by viewing other advertising pages. In most cases, a free account requires you to surf 3 pages to get 1 credit.
Even though you can do this with a free account, it is worth considering upgrading you account to a paid status, but only if your budget allows. Upgrading brings you several time saving advantages.
First of all, your credit earning ratio will increase to 2:1 or 1:1 depending on the level of upgrade. Secondly you will be given a large number of extra credits every month as long as you maintain your upgrade status.
Another way to get advertising credit is to buy them. Many exchange owners will run special half off or low price credit offers. Keep your eye for those special offers and take advantage of them. There is no reason you should ever pay the advertised price for credits.
Traffic exchanges often give away free credits to celebrate special events like anniversaries. You can also earn bonus credits when you complete a certain number of page views during a surfing session. Many exchanges have random bonuses every 25 or 30 pages throughout the surfing session.
Another way to earn bonus credit is to build a downline. Every time you recruit a new member, you will usually earn a certain number of credits. If the member upgrades, you will receive a commission. Once your downline has grown to a certain size, you will no longer need to spend as much time surfing to generate credits.
Many TE users are not aware that they receive three types of credits from most exchanges; standard credits, banner credits, and text ad credits. Reserve your standard credits for your main offers and use the banner and text ad credits to cross promote your TEs or low priority program.
You can also promote the exchanges on your website and blog. Make a list of all the TEs you have joined, and include your affiliate links to make it easy for people to check your list and sign up right from your webpage. I highly recommend
Traffic Showdown as the traffic exchange with the best deal for your money. The owner, Kym Robinson, is very generous with free credits.
By following the tips in this article you should be able to earn thousands of extra credits each month to promote your Internet marketing campaigns without spending hours surfing traffic exchanges for credits.
