Most people know, your web site can’t generate any income for you if it’s not generating any traffic or enough of it.  The best way to get FREE traffic is to join a traffic exchange (TE).  A TE can easily be compared to a classified ad network on steroids.  TE sites receive web site submissions from web site owners that join traffic exchange networks. The person who submitted the web site then has to browse other member sites on the exchange program to earn credits, which enable their sites to be viewed by other members through the surf system. This increases the number of visitors to all the sites involved.  Basically, it’s founded on the old “you show me yours and I will show you mine” concept.

As the viewers are all website owners or affiliates, it is possible that some might find certain member sites interesting and thus make note of them on their own sites, sending more traffic their way.  TEs are mainly targeted to money making opportunity seekers, so if your in this market, a TE is as targeted as it gets.  

All TEs impose a time limit for page surfing (usually between 10 and 60 seconds), though not all TEs are the created the same.  They all have varying surfing ratios.  Many also incorporate anti-cheat methods. Some incorporate the use of captcha or other form of view verification to ensure user interaction, incorporate games to make surfing fun, and have a reward system for paying attention.  Some even pay you to surf!  Almost all traffic exchange programs are free, although many of them offer special features to paid members (upgraded members) and offer the option to purchase credits if you don’t want to or don’t have time to surf for your credits. 

Traffic exchange programs are great for small business owners or marketers who either want free advertising.  They’ve been around for over 10 years, and have showed no signs of slowing.
