Question What is your favorite Traffic Exchange?

I know that Traffic is about the Largest and most popular but personally I like TopSurfer and FreeTrafficBar the best. With TopSurfer: the main thing I like is that although it's a manual traffic exchange, you can make a little chump change from your surfing time, not much but at least it's something. With FreeTrafficBar: I like the fact that all I have to do is surf the web as I normally would and still gain credits! It installed into my toolbar real easy and it has tons of marketing tip & resources within the toolbar as well.

...so what's your favorite traffic Exchange and why?

None.. what's the purpose of fake website traffic?

Be very careful with traffic exchange programs because advertisers are against them.

Yeah I never really liked them either but I have gotten varying opinions about them. I wouldn't advertise major sites on them but some have found that by using splash pages and squeezpages in traffic exchanges that require real people to manually click can be beneficial toward building your mailing list or sign-ups in affiliate programs or other. I definitely don't like autosurfs because real people don't have to click at all, but with manual TE's they do.

I tried TrafficSwarm for about two weeks before giving up in frustration. I was putting in 1000 times more effort than it was worth.
I now use Adgridwork who are not a traffic exchange but an advertising exchange. You put other peoples ads on your page and your ads go out to others, very similar looking to Adsense. Adgridwork hasn't brought in a lot of visitors but they have been better targeted at least.

I don't like traffic exchange also, but the only site that's being run in a different way is linkreferral.com which gives credit for reviewing sites not just visiting, so I think it's the only traffic exchange site that has some decency in its system.

Well not fantabulous or anything but I'm starting to see some results with selective exchanges. I'm finding that they can be useful (depending on How their used). I used to be totally against them until I heard testimonials of people who have used them e-ffective to divert targeted traffic to their site or blog as well as build their List. I definitely will say that approaching them with only Splash Pages and SqueezePages (and not trying to sell anything directly in them) is the most effective method I've seen so far. Again, I'm still testing and so far my former negative views about TE's are surely changing. This is another form or real traffic. In the best manual TE's real humans must click ads and their are anti-cheat mechanisms but in place. Now it's up to your 15-30 sec. splash web commercial to jolt surfers and Command Their Attention!

I happen to like Traffic Exchanges as I have gotten good results from some of them. My favorite happens to be Max Traffic Pro. Max Traffic Pro always sends me free referrals and I get a percentage of whatever these referrals orders. It's a small percentage but hey, every little bit helps.

Ive used trafficswam, i used there 'link box' feature. u show several links on your site and your site recieves clicks for every time a link is shown. I had 4 links showing on every page of my forum... with 100 visitors viewing an avg of 10 pages a day. Thats 1000 free and easy visitors, mind you they werent very targeted, but it definetely helped by Alexa ranking. Which meant my ads started paying more

As my forum grew i got rid of the link box and filled the space with ads. But it definetely was helpful at the start of my site. I wouldnt continue using a traffic exchange once my site started taking off.

I use linkreferal now, it sends me about 20 people a day. & i get the odd review of my site which is handy.
