Traffic Exchanges:
......................................................................................................................
Traffic Exchanges like XtreamSurf are great ways to 'drive traffic' to your sites for a number of reasons:
1. They send hits to your sites 24/7 as the members surf
2. They are easy to use
3. Many offer free memberships making them cost effective resources
Hits are generated as members surf the exchange. This is called 'traffic.' Hits occur to YOUR site when it appears on the surfbar. In many cased, when you surf you do not see your own site - you view other members sites. When other members surf, they will see yours and drive traffic - or hits - to it for you. Do note however, when YOU surf you rotate sites so that the next site in que is sent to the surfbar. This means that while you may not view or send traffic to your own site, you help the overall process in a very positive and dynamic way! OTHER MEMBERS who surf will view your sites for you, generating hits as the surf rotates.
WHY MARKET ON EXCHANGES WITH THE SAME LINKS AS YOURS?
This is an excellent question! The answer is two-fold
1. People need to see sites usually many times to respond. You want yours in the mix:
Studies show that people need to 'see' or 'hear' or 'read about' sites many times, usually a minimum of 5 times, before they respond. Sometimes a site will push their buttons and people will respond in less time. You want you site in front of that person when that decision to respond is made.
2. Whether or not PEOPLE (or Human Eyes) see your link - the Search Engine ROBOT EYES do:
A person may or may not saw your site. For sure the Search Engine did. Your link is entered into the traffic exchange database. Each time it is brought up by the Exchange script and appears on the Surf it is as though someone actually 'clicked' on your link. This is one of the things which make exchanges so very powerfull!
To begin your Traffic exchange portfolio, join the six (6) sites shown in the side menu. They are free to join and offer good traffic for your sites. Upgraded VXD members receive upgrades at the 6 exchanges (valued at around $30.00 monthly minimum) which give you more credits, increased surf ratio, banner and text ad spots. Join the exchanges, then validate your email you will receive. These are OPT-IN venues and you must agree to their terms and accept email from the Admins.
Once you have validated your email you can then log in to your account. Note if you do not validate your email, you cannot log in. The script will not recognize you. If you missed your validation link, find the Resend Activation Link Icon and resend it to yourself. Also note: you may notice a "we are not accepting memberships from..." and then a little flag or flags. Those are countries the sites do not accept members from due to excessive abuse from members of that country. If you are from a banned Country, please contact Admin for consideration.
When you add your sites, please remember to also add credits. Sites without credits will not show on the surf, you must add them first. Minimum is 100, recomend more. Once your sites are tested by Admin, as long as they have minimum 100 credits assigned to them, they will appear on the surf 24/7. As members surf, they view and rotate sites. Hits are created each time a site appears on the surfbar. To assist this process, be sure that you surf. Daily for best results. We highly recommend you add 1,000 or more credits to each site once you have been upgraded. Check your sites on a regular basis to ensure they have credits assigned to them.
Once you are situated with the initial 6 sites, join the others shown in the side menu. While they may not offer free upgrades, they still provide excellent surf environments.
