Traffic exchanges...do they actually work for generating 'real' visitors to your website?

One of the main things you need to remember when you have your own products is that to get the most out of your affiliate program, you have to train your affiliates. And even though I've included a training program for most of my affiliates to learn from, unfortunately some people don't like that 'W' word - work.

I've noticed a large number of my affiliates have been sending traffic to the site through traffic exchanges and 'junk' traffic sites such as -

www.usatrafficexchange.com
www.ablazewithtraffic.com
http://www.bravenet.com/popup 
www.banner-traffic.co.uk
http://freehostcp.t35.com

In fact, these 5 sites have generated a significant number of visitors to some of my sites, but because it's not 'real' traffic, but simply people visiting the site to get credits for themselves, it just doesn't convert into subscribers or sales.

The bottom line is -

As Ken says, don't waste your time working with these sort of 'newbie' sites trying to get traffic from any source. Build 'real' content, write and submit articles to authority sites such as Ezinearticles.com and GoArticles.com, and exchange links with related sites.

You'll then have 'real' visitors coming to your site and reading what you have to say...and they'll buy your stuff :-)

Then, read Make Your Knowledge Sell and create a product of your own. And promote it through your site and to your current list members, then start an Affiliate Program and enlist hundreds of other webmasters to help you sell it...

Don't rely on Adsense and affiliate products for your monetization options. The big money is in having your own list, your own products and having an army of affiliates selling them for you.

Follow this model and watch your online profits soar :-) If you are ready to move to creating your own products, but aren't sure where to start, this short video could be the start of you finding the answer.

That's it for today. I really hope this message helps you to get the most out of your online business.

Until next time,

Warmest regards,
