Best Traffic Exchange | Free Traffic

A traffic exchange is a web service that you become a member of and receive free traffic from. By joining you agree to look at the sites of other members (decided randomly but based on niches you specify during registration) and in exchange other members will view your site.

Very early on in my Internet marketing career, like many others, I was lured by the promise of traffic exchanges. It's hardly surprising because the earliest realization you have as a newbie is "I need traffic or I'm never going to survive". Traffic exchanges have the appearance of being a very real way to get visitors to your site, your web site stats can attest to that.

The problem is, however, the traffic is mostly worthless. Your time would be much better spent learning more legitimate ways to grow your business. I speak from experience because I was an active member of no less than.....are you ready?

But before you lose hope, there is 1 traffic exchange that I am still a member of and it earns me credit every time I open my Internet browser. It is the undisputed leader in this field and one of the most popular sites in the the entire Internet:

It's very easy to set up, has free and paid memberships. Set it as your browser start page and earn visitors every time you log onto the Internet and more every time you visit another members site.

TIP 1: There are other Internet marketing activities that are just as worthless as traffic exchanges (TrafficSwarm excluded). They include:

Safelists
Posting to FFA classifieds
Owning an FFA classified
Link farms

Yes, I tried all of these as well ;-).
