Free Traffic Exchanges vs. Paid Autosurf Programs
Copyright 2005 East Tech LLC
There are two types of web site traffic exchanges available
today. One is called a Free Traffic Exchange and the other is a
Paid Autosurf. These are two completely different services. If
you understand the differences between them, you can use both to
your advantage.
A free traffic exchange is one of the better ways for web site
owners to get free website traffic to their sites or affiliate
marketing campaigns. Free Traffic Exchanges allow you to
manually surf other members websites, and for each viewing, you
get so many of your own URLs and banners added into the rotation
for other members to see. There are hundred of free traffic
exchanges online today, and each one has thousands of members
surfing each day. That's a lot of potential traffic you can get
for little or no cost for your advertising efforts. All you need
to do is spend some time surfing the exchanges to get credits
for your websites to be viewed by thousands of potential
customers.
Paid Autosurf programs pay members a fee for surfing websites in
their exchange. Their hope is that as you surf, you will be
interested in their client's offers and make a purchase or at
least let them capture your e-mail address so they can try to
up-sell you later. Also, as the name "Autosurf" would indicate,
you do not have to view each website as they rotate. You could
click on the surf button and walk away for 5 minutes until the
autosurf session is complete.
The benefits of these two services depend on what your main
objective is. If you want to advertise your website or affiliate
program, you are much better off joining a free traffic
exchange. If you want to earn money each day and could care less
about advertising anything, you would be better of joining a
Paid Autosurf program. Free traffic exchanges all but force
members to view each and every website they visit and require
them to manually click after viewing each one. These manual
traffic exchanges have somewhat of a captive audience. For free
members to get their websites shown in rotation for other
members to see, they must surf the exchange, one website at a
time. This is one of the best ways to very
cheaply get your
website or promotion in front of many potential customers.
Some free traffic exchanges offer paid incentives for their Pro
members. For example if someone upgrades their free membership
to a Pro membership, they can start earning money for the
credits they earn. If they surf enough, they could actually get
paid cash for their efforts. But the problem with this is the
free traffic exchanges don't usually pay out lots of money,
since most of their members are free. They can generate
substantial income, but their business model is not geared
around making large payouts to members.
The Paid Autosurfs on the other hand are setup for generating
member's money. They pay you for performing a service and some
of them pay you quite well. There are many ways these companies
make money. They get paid from advertisers, to investing in the
Forex (foreign exchange) market to playing the odds. So many
people who join these programs don't understand how to use them.
Many of these people lose money. The membership fees you pay to
earn your daily gains on are not returned. You earn money from
your membership fee amount. So if you invested $30 and never
surfed a website, then guess what? You're out $30. If you only
surfed half of the days, you lost money. If you don't have the
time to spend on these programs each day surfing, then don't
join them. You also need daily access to a computer with a web
browser to earn money with these programs. If you don't, then
these programs are not for you.
So the bottom line is, if you're a website owner or direct
marketer, one of the best ways you could advertise your business
to many potential customers very inexpensively, would be to use
a free traffic exchange. If you just wanted to earn money for
surfing multiple websites each and every day for a certain
number of days, then Paid Autosurf programs are a better choice.
