Do traffic exchanges really work, and if you are on a budget, are they worth your time? That’s the central question behind today’s tips. It being Traffic Thursday, we’ll also get into some discussion of other ways of getting traffic through traffic exchanges that aren’t necessarily free.

The types of traffic exchanges you should be aware of are auto-surf, manual, banner, pop-up/pop-under, and start-page. The basic premise behind these trades are the “I’ll scratch your back if you’ll scratch mine” theory. You get a certain number of visits from each site that you visit.

I don’t actively use most of the traffic exchanges any more, but I have enough credits from other people joining through my referral links that I still get visits from them. I’m telling you this just so you’ll know that now that I am able to spend the money, I rarely use these methods, though they still bring me traffic.

In my next few tips, I’ll discuss give you an overview of the good, the bad and the ugly experiences I’ve had with them, as well as what I learned is the proper use of traffic exchanges if you ever hope to earn any money using through them. It’s possible - but it’s also tricky.
