Are Traffic Exchanges A Good Way To Build A List?

Simple answer. NO!

You must have missed a similar thread from a few days ago. You can use the report I provided below and modify for your Traffic Exchange and you can build a list.

personally i would not even waste my time with traffic exchanges to try and build my list

i tried out traffic exchanges a few years ago when i first came online and i found traffic exchange traffic to be absolute garbage and worthless

unless traffic exchange traffic has suddenly improved by about 500% then i would stay clear

instead try building traffic to your blog, use solo ads, guest posting, banners, ppc and maybe some adswaps

Seriously Traffic Exchanges are a big Target of the latest rounds of Search engine changes, some of these IP addresses can be banned, cause many problems for your website, I would avoid traffic exchanges at all costs, they are like hanging out with frick and frack, or in the more modern terminology, its like going to cash a check at the back and one of your friends decides to rob the bank, can you imagine what would happen to you next.

Try it out and see if what I am telling you is true, for one month do the traffic exchange thing on one website and on another website use natural backlinks, and good clean content, and then watch what happens to the two different websites.

In my own tests I found that on the websites where traffic exchanges were used, those websites suffered, on the websites where natural back linking and unique content was used, the websites organic traffic actually increased.

Untargeted traffic is absolutely useless and does nothing for your business except mess up your analytics and waste your time!!

Honestly? In my opinion, traffic exchanges are a waste of time.

The best visitors to your site are those looking for the specific information or product that your site offers, not the hundreds of people surfing for clicks or credits just to get hits.

Spend your time on more rewarding activities. If you're short on cash, simple forum marketing can get you miles ahead of traffic exchanges.

If you plan to click manually in exchange for the traffic then I must say no. Your time and effort equals money and the return with TE does not equate with the benefit you can get elsewhere.

Traffic exchanges once worked in the late 2000s but that is not the case now. Your time better spent on other marketing techniques.

Do you view the sites you have to look at in order to get return views to your site? Have you bought anything from those sites or been interested in any of them?

You have your answer.

You might get lucky if you grab a noobie that has just come on and doesn't know the system.

But other than that if you are looking for free ways to build your list, you would be wise to concentrate your efforts on more productive methods, say article marketing to name but one.

I never try it. But just try it and let us know how it will be
good luck

Traffic Swarm is one of the worst TE's you can use, the things that people promote on it are all hyped up crap aimed at newbies who don't know any better.

If you have time and want to learn about how to use sites like these properly then join click track profit and spend time learning about what works and what doesn't.

Most of the time people fail because they have the wrong attitude. Here's a blog post I wrote on the subject.

Stop Being A Traffic Exchange Victim | Hit Exchange News

Okay.. I'm still a "newbie" at IM. So let me first say that I committed the cardinal sin of not first checking the warrior forum before I wasted hours and hours of "surfing for credits" on traffic exchanges and blasting emails to no one on countless safelists... Ha.

and maybe I'm actually one of the only people that really read the pages I was surfing to.. (can call it research, I guess... but I maybe I was hoping in some sort of kharmic connection that if I actually read others offers, maybe they would read mine too). A little naive perhaps after reading the forum posts here.

Bottom line.. I saw a lot of crap. Signed up for plenty of free info offers.. so now my email is filled with crap too..

But after reading the threads about how many of you list facebook as your preferred medium for building free traffic, I went back and checked my email trash for an offer I got that I immediately deleted along with the rest. Luckily I did... maybe all those hours of clicking weren't an entire waste of time because i found a free resource for increasing your number of facebook fans. It's like a traffic exchange for facebook (and other social sites) likes and fans etc..

anyway.. hopefully some might find this useful

Nope. It'll just get you a bunch of traffic. Non-converting traffic, but traffic nevertheless. It'll increase your Alexa rank, but you won't have anything to show for it.

My apologies for being the party pooper here as I agree and disagree with most who posted a reply here. Let me explain. I am a traffic exchanger since 2001 and became very good at working them. So much, that I am the top No #1 referrer in just over 40 TE's. Simply put, Top referrer means I receive the most amount of traffic and also click less than anyone else, and although I agree that this traffic is not the best compared to SE traffic, it is quite adequate enough to build a list but only if you are part of the 1% at the top! If you don't expect to be at the top, then stay away!

As long as you are not trying to sell a product, you'll be fine. To build a list via a free offer is ok, and should do fine.

Within a decade, I have earned about $400,000 Net using Traffic Exchanges. Their not completely worthless as someone pointed out!

Do NOT use TE's with Adsense! Google doesn't like that!
