What is a Traffic Exchange?   Often referred to as "auto surf, surf exchange or surfing" A traffic exchange is where your website is shown to to other members.  The larger exchanges have as many as 50,000+ members!  That is a lot of FREE exposure for your website.  The majority are free to join and most give you free credits to get you started (they may require you to surf (view) a certain # of websites before your site will be shown).  Each traffic exchange varies in the benefits, size of membership, surf requirements, earning possibilities and upgrade options offered.

Do I Have To Upgrade to a paid membership?  No.  You are not required to upgrade in most traffic exchanges.  There are a few you may want to consider upgrading in simply because the benefits will be more than worth the money.  We have listed several traffic exchanges and brief overviews below to help you get the most out of traffic exchanges.

Overall, traffic exchanges are a good source of free traffic for your website.  Joining and posting your links to a traffic exchange makes good business sense because:

1. Your sites get seen. As sites are rotated they are viewed by the surfers (other members).  This can provide you with very targeted traffic for very little money.

2. They boost your rankings at Search Engines and reporting agencies like Alexa. As your sites rotate on the surf bar, they generate hits, hits translate into action and visitors to your site.

3. They also create revenue at sites which “pay you” or otherwise reward you to promote; basically via the same mechanism that boosts your SE and Alexa rankings. 

4.  Gets your product, program, or offer out to others quickly and FREE to join!

5.  Easy to set up- simply join for free, type in your website url, and enjoy the free credits that most traffic exchanges offer to new signups.  You can receive more free credits by surfing or referring others.  Credits can also be purchased at minimal cost.

The key to traffic exchanges is to join many- not just one or two.  By joining several exchanges you get your product or opportunity seen.  The more someone sees your site the more interest they are likely to have.  Many of the exchanges offer free splash pages and other helpful tools for your marketing efforts.  To get the most out of traffic exchanges you may want to upgrade to a paid member status (but it's Not required).  Many are under $10.00 a month for a pro membership, some are under $5.00 per month!   Upgraded members receive free credits, and in many exchanges you can earn money, receive free banner ads, text ads, downloads, and more.  Start receiving the benefits today by joining several of the sites below!  We have indicated which traffic exchanges offer the best benefits to those that are upgraded members and the exchanges that bring the most responsive traffic.
