I thought sharing some examples on how to make use of Traffic Exchanges to make some money. One of my favorite traffic exchange program is TrafficSwarm.
What is TrafficSwarm
First of all What is traffic exchange? A traffic exchange basically allows members to trade views of their websites. Members join the program and earns credit by clicking on a advertisement that will lead to another website. When you accumulate enough credit, you will be able to put in an advertisement for your own website. TrafficSwarm has been one my favorite and most effective traffic source. It is a bit different than others because it allows you to look at a group of classified ads first before clicking on the ones you want to see.
How do I get started?
To get started, simply register as a new member, and look over their introductory tools. When you sign up and activate you will get 100 free credits. You can set up your an ad and promote your site immediately. Sign Up Here!
Setting Up An Advertisement
To set up your advertisement, on the bottom of the page and you’ll find Manage Your Site Promotions. This is where you add your own website URLs for others to see. You can select which category where your ads will appear.
Earn More Credits
To accumulate more credits you need to surf other sites, each sites pays 1-5 credits randomly. You can also earn a 100 free credits when you refer new members. If you want to earn more credits simply upgrade to Pro member which cost $30 a month. Pro member benefits include better ad display, more credits per clicks, etc.
The Problem With TrafficSwarm
TrafficSwarmis infested with get rich quick Internet Marketers, newbies, users who are promoting the latest product on the Internet. Since most of them are promoting some products, there is simply no way your product would get any sales out of these. Analyzing the problem, the solution is to offer something that the current user base would want.
Why Do People Join TrafficSwarm?
Traffic! So we can sell traffic packages. I can’t really think of any that will really pull in large amount of sales. I decided to go with TextLinkAds. TextLinkAds affiliates make a flat $25.00 for any referred visitor that results in a sale or gets accepted into their publisher program.
Design A Sales Page.
I design a page to that look something like this. 
Its meant to be short, the page promote TextLinkAds and gives out a 100 credit for anyone who sign up here. I added a opt-in form to capture user information which intend to capture even those who have already sign up for TextLinkAds. You can program the opt-in box yourself or get it form aweber. You can read my post on aweber here . We also want to put in Google analytics to measure the conversion rate. We can run this and check the result. I recommend you allocate a 100 credits for this to be effective.
