How can I Surf Several Traffic Exchanges at Once? Surf Multiple Traffic Exchanges

I described in great detail in my previous post how joining and participating in traffic exchanges can be an excellent way to gain visitors to your websites without spending money. If you decide that surfing these exchanges is what you want to do then you will want to surf several exchanges at once. How can you surf several exchanges at once? Well, it's really pretty simple. With the tabbed browsing feature that most good browsers now offer it's easy to surf several traffic exchanges at once.

I use Firefox browser and open up several exchanges at once in different tabs. You'll need to log into all of your exchanges that you have joined at once. Then you simply start clicking from one tab to the next and clicking the appropriate matching image that each exchange will require of you to earn the credit. You'll notice that some exchanges will make you click on a special link or answer a special question from time to time during your surfing session in order to have you prove that you are a real person and not some automated surfing bot program that is intended to cheat the surfing system. Yes, there are always people that are trying to cheat some way or another I guess. Anyway, these test clicks or whatever you want to call them are ways that the surfing exchanges use to help verify that you are indeed a real person clicking on the links.

A word of warning for you, there are unfortunately some potentially harmful spyware and things like that that you could get from some bad guys that stick there infected websites on traffic exchanges. You'll need to make sure that your spyware and virus protection are up to date in case you encounter one of these. Also, I recommend a Firefox plugin called NoScript which is free plugin you can use to help prevent malicious scripts from automatically running and messing up your computer somehow. For the most part, the websites are all safe and not something to worry about too much. Just make sure you have these precautions set in place and you'll be fine.

Now there is a browser that I found that is designed to surf multiple exchanges at one. It's call TE Browser and it's apparently made by a young programmer somewhere over in Russia or something like that. I paid the $1.00 or so to try it out for a couple of weeks and it was okay up to point but I also found it to easily crash and probably not quite as safe as using Firefox or Chrome. The TE Browser will actually automatically go on to the next exchange you need to click on without you having to click on the tab to do so. So, it does speed the process up a bit and eliminates some clicking needed to go from one page to the next. I decided not to continue to use it as it was going to cost me $70 dollars or so to pay to be able to use it for like 6 months or something like that. I decided that it wasn't worth it and also I was concerned about the lack of protection from malicious scripts that I was encountering occasionally from the exchanges. So, I went with Firefox for it's safety features and decided that the extra clicking was something that I could live with.

Traffic Exchanges can Generate Leads and Referrals

One of the ways that you can generate leads for your businesses is to use traffic exchanges. What is a traffic exchange you may ask? Well, that's a good question.Traffic exchanges are websites that people join with the basic idea that, if you surf my website then I'll surf your website. It sounds simple enough right? There are quite a few traffic exchanges out there all competing for you to join their exchange and spend your time surfing their exchange and clicking and clicking through a barrage of business opportunities and solicitations. The basic setup of most traffic exchanges involves watching someones capture page for their program or "biz op" for a set amount of seconds, usually no more than 20. Traffic exchanges will generally have the surfer click after the timer clicks down to click on an image out of five choices or so. The surfer will click on the duplicated image of the choices given in order to earn the surf "credit" and be allowed to surf on to the next the next advertisement or capture page and earn the next surfing credit. Different traffic exchanges have different themes behind them and tie these themes into the design of the website and the images that are to be clicked in order to earn the surfing credits.

Not all traffic exchanges are the same. Some traffic exchanges actually have a lot more traffic that others do. It may be more worth your time surfing traffic exchanges that have a longer time in existence and hopefully in turn offer many more members on their exchange to surf your site or capture page that you would like them to see. Now, the question may arise as to what is the value of the traffic that you are able to generate with theses traffic exchanges? Some may argue that it is not very good or not very desirable. Overall, I would agree that the vast majority of people that are surfing these exchanges are only interested in one thing, getting more credits. Yes, most people on these exchanges are just trying to get people to their own business opportunity that they are trying to promote. That is definitely the case in most instances. If, however, you think about the type of people that are promoting their program you may also realize that these same people that are promoting their own business may well be excellent target prospects to try to capture into your program because your program is better that theirs right? Also, traffic exchanges still offer you the chance to expose your offer to a larger amount of people that you would not have the chance to offer to unless you were willing and able to purchase advertising packages and spend lots of money. If you are on a tight advertising budget then traffic exchanges offer a great opportunity to pick up leads and customers. It will take a lot of surfing but you will get leads to your program if you are consistent with your efforts.

What are the best ways to surf? I would recommend that you open up several surf exchanges at once in tabs in perhaps Mozilla's Firefox browser and click from tab to tab and also you may want to turn your volume on mute because many of the capture pages have automatic audio that plays as soon as you open it. In fact, one of the programs that I decided to join actually caught my attention because it had an automatic audio portion that caught my attention. In fact, if you are looking for a good program to take part in and make some extra money then check this out HERE. I was impressed by the opportunity that Jeff Buchanan put together and there are no monthly fees or anything like that. It's a good program with a very simple concept that I feel really good in recommending to others.

So, if you have a program that you are trying to promote and you don't have a website that has lots of visitors already or maybe you don't really have enough money for a big advertising campaign to promote your business or opportunity the you may indeed really like what these free traffic exchanges can do for you and your lead generation efforts.

Since I am sharing my experiences with traffic exchanges with you here then it seems logical to share some banners for you that you can click on to join some of the best exchanges that I have joined myself. These are referral banners and that is one of the good things that all traffic exchanges do. You can earn more credits for yourself by referring other members to join the exchanges. It's a logical concept and helps keep the viral nature of the exchanges going by members referring other members to different exchanges.

In my opinion, the best and most heavily visited traffic exchange that will surely get you a good bit or visitors is called EasyHits4U. It is quite impressive and usually has over 2,000 active surfers on it at any time and that is considered to be a lot. You can surf for credits and even buy credits as most of the exchanges will offer you. They have an active referral program and rotator tools that are explained on the website. There are a number of things in place that you can use for free and of course as all of these sites, they have plenty of optional upgrade things that you can choose to pay for if you so choose. There is plenty of good value here on this exchange for free. Join it and get started.
