I've told here about traffic exchanges couple of times but suddenly I understood there may be people who don't know what a traffic exchange is!
To put it short and simple, traffic exchange is a free advertising program where a member has to view for a certain time (usually 10 - 20 seconds) the websites of another members in order to show them his own sites. Viewing other members' sites is called "surfing". So it works: I'm watching your site, you're watching mine:-))
Yes, this method of advertising may be time consuming but it's simple... and best of all - it's FREE! Nobody has to pay for it, if he doesn't want to (most traffic exchanges are offering upgrade options though, and also the option to buy advertising credits for people who are in hurry and have more money than time).
A reader, a new co-member on Traffic Era asked me lately, do traffic exchanges really work. He was concerned, people only want to get their advertising credits and don't pay any attention to te websites they are clicking on.
No doubt, there may be users of that kind on every traffic exchange - but they are in minority. It has to be so, because I'm getting signups from traffic exchanges... I got a signup yesterday for a downline club and three for another!
To be honest I have to admit, four signups a day doesn't happen very often - my average is three or four a week. Anyway, imagine, four signups for free, I never have to spend a single penny to get them. That's why traffic exchanges are so great for people with limited advertising budget. Using them the right way may add up to hundreds and hundreds hits to a website daily, and hundreds and hundreds of hits mean signups or sales.
The more a member surfs traffic exchanges the more times he can show his own website. There are also ways to increase your amount of advertising credits for free. Some (best!) traffic exchanges are offering team surfing. The teams who are surfing most are getting extra credits, which are divided between the members of this team.
For example: on Traffic Era (read more about this great marketing community in my previous post: Traffic Era - much more than just a traffic exchange) I'm belonging to the team 001 Google Ranked Us - an ambitious name but it's true... in fact, Google ranked some of our team members already:-))
Well, every team on Traffic Era takes part of so-called "clock races". The best four teams (who collect more clocks, i.e. bonus points) of every race are rewarded with extra credits, and every member of the team gets an equal part of the amount. That's why 001 Google Ranked Us and all other teams are interested in active members/surfers only.
Let's say, a team member doesn't surf for a while... he thinks it doesn't make any harm if he isn't active for couple of days. He couldn't be more wrong.
That way he lets the other team members work for him and earn free traffic for his website, and it is not fair. If somebody wants to enjoy the benefits of belonging to a successful team, has to give his part too - otherwise he will lose his membership.
Of course everybody understands when a team member is away because of serious reasons like illness, internet connection problems etc., or he just takes a vacation - if he a honest and valuable team member his membership will always be restored!
There is more about teams on Traffic Era and especially about the team 001 Google Ranked Us on our team leader's blog. Team leader's name is Chris, and the blog is Making Sense Out of the World. There he writes about some more things also which are making sense out of the world... so why not to bookmark this blog?

Traffic Era - much more than just a traffic exchange
Traffic Era is a traffic exchange site which belongs to Logiscape Technologies. It is a sister site of Hitpulse, ts25 and Traffic Pods. I have to admit, I'm really in love with it, and in a minute I shall tell you, why.
Everybody who joins Traffic Era will become a part of a social network. He can join (or create) groups and write blog posts - both highly recommended. He can join splash page network and even build his splash pages. And first of all - he can get tons (I really mean it, TONS) of traffic to his pages, when he uses Traffic Era the right way.
There are tutorials on Traffic Era page, in the members' area but for a newbie they may be quite confusing at first. That's why I decided to make it a little bit easier and explain our local Traffic Era slang a bit. Here we go:
TRAFFIC ERA: SHORT TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS
Step 1. Join Traffic Era.
Step 2. Personalize your account - go to "Account settings" and load up your picture (or something else, if you're pic shy).
Step 3. Insert your interests.
Step 4. Browse "groups", find these you like, and join. There are hundreds and hundreds of groups. You can start a new group yourself too.
Step 5. The most important step - become active. Try to surf enough to collect at least a set of clocks (10 clocks make a set) daily but the more the better. That way you can catch the attention of teamleaders. Teams are interested in active surfers only.
Clocks on Traffic Era are a kind of bonus points. First set gives you 5 tokens, all others - 10 tokens. You can trade tokens for credits on the marketplace later. For example: at the moment I'm writing here I can purchase 8100 credits for 480 tokens.
500 top surfers are rewarded with extra tokens on every Sunday. For example: I'm at the moment on 207th place, and it would give me 588 extra tokens tonight but the member who ranks 1st will get 1000. It's all free traffic;-)
Step 6. Join a team. After becoming active you soon will get invitations to join a team. Don't join the first one who invites you, study them before you decide. Click on "teams" to see the best 25. If the team ranks in top 25 it means, it is able to win clock races.
Clock races on Traffic Era is the best way to gain extra traffic. There is always a race going on. The next race begins as soon the previous one ends. At the top of team list is the super clock always running. For example: the super clock says, stop the clock when your team gets: 740 clocks. When a team collects 740 clocks the race is over, and the first four teams will get bonus credits.
Let's say, the best team got 65,300 credits. Every team can have maximum 25 members. 65,300 divided to 25... where is my calculator... seems to be 2612 credits! Free traffic again;-)
Step 7. Think on your future. Yes, you can get a lot of traffic as a free (silver) member but an upgraded member gets much more! That's why upgrading on Traffic Era is important.
Of course you can always upgrade for money. For example, a month of gold membership on Traffic Era costs $19, it's a reasonable price for so much traffic... but there is a back door too, and it's free:-))
If you want to upgrade for free you have to purchase logibucks first for your time credits. Logibucks are a kind of toy money inside of Logiscape network. For example: a newbie silver member can purchase two logibucks a week, for 10000 time credits each. 10000 time credits are quite easy to get, even from surfing only, and there are more ways too, like referring and sponsoring. And: as stated above, Logiscape network has three other traffic exchanges. Every member can collect logibucks on Hitpulse, ts25 and Traffic Pods too, and transfer them between his accounts from one site to another!
If you have collected enough logibucks for your upgrade (for example, 35 for platinum) you can use them and keep your $19 in your pocket!
Step 8. Your pesonal value. On your profile page you can see your personal value (PV) for current week, and your lifetime PV. There are 3 components: surfing, referring and sponsoring. The most important for your reputation is surfing, but referring and sponsoring help you rank higher.
Referring means here the hits your referral link gets. Display your referral link on every other traffic exchange you're in, and especially on other Logiscape sites (you are surfing them to get extra logibucks anyway), on paid-to-read sites, on paid-to-click sites with free click exchange etc., and see your PV growing. Two hits = one credit.
Sponsoring means, you have referred an active(!) member, i.e. your referral's weekly PV has be at least 300, then you gain 150 PV next week (as a silver member).
Step 9. Your first star. You'll get a star when your lifetime PV is 100 000. Having stars is benefitial for example when purchasing logibucks. The members with a star can get two for 10000 credits instead of one:-) The more stars you'll gain on your way the more benefitial it becomes...
Step 10. Loyalty points and club membership. For every month you are upgraded member you'll get loyalty points. Gold members are getting 2500 and platinum members 5000 points. Of course, there are huge time credit bonuses coming with loyalty points, but most important is: after you have collected 25000 loyalty points, you may get an invitation to become a club member - the highest rank of upgrade.
It isn't 100% sure you will get it, though. Only the site administrators can send a club invitation, and there are only 100 club membership spots over entire network. If there are more eligible members than spots available, the invites will go first to the members that have waited the longest. So if you once get the invitation, don't hesitate: first-come, first-served.
Hopefully this short 10-steps-guide will help to understand Traffic Era better.
