Traffic Exchanges to Promote Affiliate Programs

 

Traffic Exchanges

If you're unfamiliar with exchanges, you will want to read this over carefully and consider implementing it without an iota of doubt.

 One of the best ways in which you can promote affiliate programs is through various traffic exchanges. Almost all well-defined, robust niches on the Internet have some form of traffic. For instances casinos, gaming sites, niche forums, and Internet marketing sites all have some form of the traffic exchange system. IM, in particular, has dozens of exchanges.

WebTraffic

A traffic exchange can serve multiple functions; however, in most cases, it does two important things:

 It allows you to surf sites, gain credits, and then cash in those credits; and 2) it allows you to put some banners or dynamically-generated link boxes on your site that will generate credits, which you can then cash in. Cashing in credits with most exchanges, results in a certain amount of traffic comes to your site.

The exchange site or via banners on other sites that are members of the exchange sites are a very good place to start when working with traffic exchanges is to determine which ones are most reputable and have fair point systems.

Analyitic

Heavily favour paying members over non-members. You will want to find the best possible exchange given the amount of money you are willing to spend and the product you are marketing.

 I suggest using the following site, which lists top traffic exchanges. Additionally, you may want to talk to friends to see if any particular exchange site worked for them:

Once you have selected an optimal exchange, you will want to determine the best way to use it to maximize the amount of high-quality traffic you extract from it.

 You will want to answer the following questions to aid yourself in determining this: do I earn credits from impressions or clicks? And do I lose credits based on impressions or clicks?

 It is important to ask, as different exchanges have different policies on this issue. If you lose credits based on impressions, you will want to make sure that you get the absolute amount of clicks per impressions. This strategy will involve over-hyping your ads and creating flashy banners (if they allow them).

Work on Analytics

In contrast, if you are getting charged per click, you will want to make sure your ads ONLY appeal to the most interested buyers. Whichever route you take, make sure that it is with a model for maximum revenue generation.

 The last thing you will want to consider when using a traffic exchange is what you should promote.

 You already have a product in mind – probably an affiliate product – but how will you promote it?

 Will direct visitors to the affiliate page?

Keep a Eye on Traffic

 Will you direct them to a page on your site, which features the product?

 Or will you direct them to an opt-in form, which will capture their information and then coax them into buying over some time?

 I suggest doing the last or the second – and avoiding the first whenever possible.

Good Luck
