A look inside the guts of a traffic exchange.

What are traffic exchanges?
Traffic exchanges are used by 100,000 + people who are interested in the same goals as you are, marketing your product and services.
How do traffic exchanges work?
Simply put, a group of people (myself included) who agree to surf and view pages created by other people.
What benefits do traffic exchanges bring you?
The first way is in Traffic Exchange Programs, brings people who are interested in what product or service you have to offer.
What is a down line?
A down line is where you have the opportunity to increase traffic to you site by having others sign in under you and promote your service for you without any extra work on your part.
How to build down lines?
There are no magical ways to increase your down lines except by uploading your article and waiting for it to be spidered by the search engines.
Your best bet is to pick 2 traffic generating articles, and you also need a spider to crawl your site. It’s always better to let the spiders find your pages on their own.
How many levels do you get credit for?
Most Traffic Exchanges have a down line of 7 or so, needless to say the possibilities are there for continued growth
What kind of traffic exchange programs works best?
Well, that all depends on your personal needs. There are 2 different types of ways you could go about it, continue to use the free version of the program you have picked until you have a big enough down line. Once you have a half decent down line under you, you might want to upgrade Pro so you receive more benefits than the guy who chooses the Free version (like money and freebies).
What can you do to improve traffic to your site?
Pick two favorite programs that you’ve come to trust and work them (don’t get discouraged, keep plugging away), submit those articles to article announcement groups, send a notice out to your subscribers letting them know about your traffic exchange programs
Summary
Don’t be a Rabbit by jumping from one program to another, decide on which programs you’re interested in and stick with them, promote you business, continue to do what works for you. Traffic Exchanges can be a great resource if you put in just a few minutes extra a day.
