Traffic Methods Part 5

Traffic Exchange Programs

Traffic exchange programs are places where you can submit your website link. This is
a membership place. All members will submit their own links. The idea is to get
together and promote each other’s links as though this is a giant affiliate program,
where every website owner is an affiliate of the other.
The direct benefit is that there is a whole army of people promoting your website and
not just you, which means that you get some stupendous publicity. Your website link
jumps up several notches on the search engine ranking and the Alexa rankings
because of the great publicity that this generates. In other words, you get a
breathtaking amount of traffic.


There are free traffic exchange programs where you can submit the link of your
website for free, only in exchange for promoting other website links. However, there
is another mode at work here too. You can click on the links of other websites,
becoming traffic for them, which gives you points. When you get a particular number
of points, you can submit your website link too.


You might ask how this is beneficial to the website submitters since you have clicked
on the links without any intention of buying anything. Actually, it still works, because
you are trafficking the site. This makes the search engine think that the website is
popular and it gives the website a better rank. Your clicks have propelled the website
to a higher position on the search engine results.
