That´s not gonna happen. Earning with this stuff is a giant circlejerk, create points with vps instances running constantly, and selling the traffic that can be directed via fiver or the like. Auto-traffic does not convert.

I have used traffic exchange sites to get affiliates for many sites and it works! I even have gotten some fiverr sales too.

The traffic exchange sites I have used are: hitleap and traffup.

I learned from my experience that there are two type of people on traffic exchanges those that are looking for traffic and to make money. It can be a good place to build a list, but you must take into account that the list you are building will be full of freebie seekers. So the most effective way to use these types of sites is to offer them something in return for their email address, not to push a direct offer that is for sale. You can do that but you will see little or no sales at all.

Well if you're serious about making money onlne, then i wouldn't recommend you use traffic exchanges.

The mind numbing task it involves can be spent to learn something else that will benefit you in the long run.

So the question whether or not they work is simply irrelevant, because there's no point in wasting your time when there are tons of different things that will guarantee you better results.

Like most things.... traffic exchanges work for some offers but not others. The only way to tell if yours will work is to test and tweak your offer until it does. Then move on to paid traffic.

Been there done that 9 years ago. Many of us have started there clicking away lol

If you are selling some kind of product not related to helping people get traffic, then traffic exchange would be like trying to sell ice to Eskimos.

Most of the people there have 'one' focus in mind and it's not making money. They are currently focused on getting traffic. They initially started what ever they are doing to get money but they are now focused on traffic instead of the money.

Makes sense but not money.

Put something in front of them that will help them 'get' traffic and you can make money.

Very well put Alexa. I have use Traffic exchanges for many years and knew that my failure had nothing to do with the exchanges. It was what I was offering that was off and how to promote it.

Funny how human nature works. When things don`t work, people tend to look at others for their failures instead of looking at self.

I use safelists and get better conversion rates than from traffic exchanges. They both work, Traffic exchanges will get you a lot of hits while safelists will take a little more time. But people from safelists are more targeted.

okay haha

First, There are different types of traffic exchanges.

- nearly all social media
- ptc traffic exchanges
- safelists

more but idc bc I was just making a point and it looks like we are talking about ptc exchanges

let's be clear. People at traffic exchanges...yes some want traffic, some want ptc earnings and referral commissions. Don't get confused though, PTC exchange traffic is BUYER traffic, believe it or not.

BUT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT TRAFFIC OFFERS OR SAFELISTS OR SOCIAL MEDIA OR
LIST BUILDING OR ANYTHING EXCEPT.....

PTC sites. getting paid to click ads. yes, some have bots that people use. some do not. In any case, promote other PTC sites. Clickbank has multiple PTC referral strategy guides that convert well on some PTC sites. They also have useful info inside about..getting ptc referrals. imagine that.

so anyways I promote 3 different PTC sites and receive sign ups, earnings, and commissions.

at one of them, here is my experience:

high quality traffic
I sold $3k+ of my own product
Many many members get sign ups and sales to other programs [non-traffic exchange offers]
I know some affiliates making sales from clickbank and clicksure
I've seen an $8k commission at a PTC exchange [not mine unfortunately]
Great community of marketers
My own sponsor right now supports her family BC her husband is out of work
I earn about $20/day and I am in pure profit
+ nearly 1000 active subscribers from list building efforts

I don't want my post to get deleted, so no links thanks

PTC traffic exchanges are simply one more rev stream. Yes I click ads for traffic and for the earnings and commissions, it kind of sucks but it doesn't take long and you also get lots of exposure to banner ads, practicing your copy, testing ads, trends, new programs, etc.

My advice with PTC traffic exchanges is go big or go home. Let's be honest the PTC traffic exchange is for the PTC earnings and massive earnings in PTC come from massive active referrals [sales] and some team building [marketing training], but that's basically what I am doing everywhere else anyways.

What I mean is that you should consider very thoroughly how to approach each traffic source and what
your goal is. BC if it doesn't align with your prospects goals, you will not have much success.

If you trying to use that type of traffic to buld list then it's good. Many people's there are newbie's of IM market so they are looking opportunity with IM newslist

Incentive traffic sources like traffic exchanges are usually crap... just don't let them waste your time and effort!

Simple answer NO - there just NOT that targeted enough! You want targeted traffic not people who are just surfing to gain traffic to there own offers.

I've bought something from a traffic exchange once (trafficswarm), but i've never sold anything on them. I was going to buy something else on a traffic exchange too... it was a app/software that you can put on your site that limits the amount of times that people can click on your Adsense ads. This way competitors won't get you banned. Never bought it though.... switched business models and haven't looked back since. Plus.... i didn't like my homepage going to trafficswarm when i opened up my web browser.

I got into traffic exchanges last year as an alternative to Google's Penguins and other hostile animals and it's been an interesting run. I also had an allergy to social media that I'm now taking medication for and I have under control.

I would look into other alternatives for traffic (i.e. social media), but I did get some major benefits from my traffic exchange adventures, that I expect to show profit this year which will make up for last year.

Traffic exchanges do expose you to "what's out there" and "what people are promoting" and that alone has led to huge benefits for me.

If your using your own sites then they can use a lot of server space at your hosting company. It's cross promoting so the conversions are real, real low.

Today if you want to work and be seen in the exchanges you are going to have to hustle. Either upgrade or spend all day and make sure to be running in at least 3 to 5 exchanges at once. Your going to have to test and optimize your content so it converts as well.

I would stay away from traffic exchanges. If a live person visits your site they usually can care less about what you offer. They are all about the credits.

I remember I created a forum years ago and tried traffic exchanges.

I was getting traffic but I wasn't getting any members...

so I don't think they're any good.

I have had pretty much no success using a few different traffic exchanges off and on over past few years, and that includes Traffic Swarm, Traffic Hoopla, and Easy Hits 4U.

I have heard rumors of marketers paying teams of credit clickers to surf credits for them on a full time basis. I mean come on, if people find it necessary to resort to such tactics like that, what does that mean for the rest of us trying to click legitimately
