Traffic exchange

Have you tried traffic exchange as one way to promote your site containing your products and services? I have tried autosurfing but I don't think its an effective marketing tool. If you are only after site impression, that is where autosurfing helps.

hmm, I don't know what autosurfing is........ Do you think you could give us the meaning please?

Also, I am curious why someone would want a program that only increases site impressions? How does this help them and how do they make conversions on that?

None. Most of the terms of condition clearly spells this out.

Advertisements of sponsors . The program is about generation of internet traffic needed by producers and service providers.

I dont really see why someone would want to do this unless they had cpm banners and if they did it wouldnt be long befer the network banned them, so I really dont see why someone would want to inflate their impressions this way.

Gursimran · #5 05-23-2007, 11:49 AM

I dont use these type of things to drive traffic. If I am at your place I will buy a Good Adwords coupen and drive some targeted traffic
More over autosurf programes are not adsense frndly.

moaid123 · #6 05-23-2007, 03:11 PM

if you use them you will not get visitors only you will lose them . you cant expect any money made from this way . you will receive banned message from adsense as soon as they know about you .

Stroh · #7 05-25-2007, 12:01 AM

I used to use them until I thought to myself, there's no difference in traffic. I know about some like spidercrawl and trafficswarm. Those two are good one if you're really interested...

buffalo · #8 05-25-2007, 02:24 AM

Autosurfs are no good for real traffic, because nobody actually sits there and watches the sites that are shown. They run it in another window while they are doing something else.

Manual traffic exchanges are better. With that, they actually have to click a link to go to the next site, so they are at least going to see your site for a second or two. It's no good for google ads, because they don't look at the page long enough to click on anything, usually. (and I don't think google allows it anyway)

Manual traffic exchanges are only effective, IMO, for a PTP page. This gives you credit for every time it is viewed, even if they don't click anything on the page.

subodh · #9 05-25-2007, 03:36 AM

Though autosurf increases traffic but it don't worth it. I remember when I join one paid to surf program I just click on autosurf program and switch off monitor for an hour. Autosurf users just ignore the site they surfed. You got lots of unique visitors, but hardly anyone click on your content and come back to your site. It's waste of money.

kevster · #10 05-25-2007, 05:05 AM

Auto surf is the perfect mate for Automated Article Rewrites..you get somebody to churn out non sense and get somebody to read nonsense.
Its all for convenience and rating,what will they think of next?

sudarshannus · #11 05-25-2007, 07:59 AM

I totally agree with you,I have joined some affiliates where I have to surf thruwebsites for money,what I usually do is,click on the sites and turn off my monitor,though u get a lot of unique visitors u wont find anything useful from them

You are right, it isnt effective, it may seem in the first place but exchanging with sites that has no traffic wont do the sales, on the other hand exchanging with big sites may sometimes lead to sales.

RovingCalypso · #13 05-29-2007, 07:58 PM

OK, so can you suggest any good paid to surf programs. I tried once, the old alladvantage which went bankrupt and is coming up again in the form of agloco.

Please do suggest any others.

muffin-man- · #14 05-30-2007, 01:31 PM

Yeah, I'm not too sure about the reliability of a traffic exchange. I'm definitely not convinced by autosurfing as a marketing tool, and I feel serious questions surround traffic exchanges

Games master · #15 05-30-2007, 03:15 PM

Well Autosurfs never generate traffic that is going to revisit.The bring traffic in which a visitors doesn't even see your site and keeps surfing other sites in other browser window.If you want to generate true traffic SEO your site and then buy some traffic links from other sites.

paranoid87 · #16 05-31-2007, 06:57 AM

getting back links and get linked up to high PR blogs and sites is the best method to increaes geuine user traffic.

otherwise the autosurf programmes usually send bots to your sites, not actual visitors
