Website Traffic-A Must Have If Your Home Based Business Is To Succeed by Patricia Lemieux-Lewis
A home based business needs traffic to survive. Traffic exchanges can provide that necessary traffic at no cost therefore learning about traffic exchanges and what their purpose is in relation to your home based business is beneficial.
The concept of a traffic exchange is "you show my ad, I'll show yours." They are FREE to join and all do offer upgrade packages with more benefits. There are several types of traffic exchanges which include:
- text ad exchanges
- banner ad exchanges
- manual web page view exchanges
- automatic web page view exhanges
- traffic bars
Text ads exhanges. With this type of exchange, typically a piece of code is pasted to your website to display other members ads on your site. The number of ads shown varies per exchange and in some, the website owner can say how many to show. The more shown, the better the chance that someone will "click it" and you earn a view of your web page. The downside is that it takes up space on your web page. Each time an ad is viewed, the ad you placed with the traffic exchange appears on another members website in the same manner. It gives your home based business exposure in areas of the internet that it might not otherwise be seen. Exposure is always a plus for your home based business.
Banner ad exhanges. This type of exchange works like the text ad exchange except it uses banners. The typical size of the banner shown is 468x60, the standard internet banner. Some do show 250x72. Again, as a banner is shown on your site, your banner appears on another members site.
Manual traffic exchanges. This type exhanges web page views. Depending upon the traffic exchange rules, it can be anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds required for a page view before you receive a credit or partial credit towards a view of your page. The partial credit happens based on the exchange. You either have to view 1, 2 and in some instances 3 pages before you have earned enough credit to have your web page viewed once. Typically this type of exchange shows "Splash pages." Because of the timer, a large web page would not load before the time was up, therefore a view is used but the website was not seen. A splash page is a small "attention grabber" that highlights the main website content and if clicked, directs the visitor to the main website.
Autosurf traffic exchanges. These work in the same manner as a manual exchange except for the "clicking" to the next site is done automatically. Use of an autosurf allows you to open a browser, sign in to your autosurf account, set it to surf and go do something else. Usually with the autosurf traffic exchanges, you get less credit per page view if you have it minimized. You also must realize that you are not the only one who is minimizing the screen so many of your page views credits can be used up without anyone ever seeing your home based business site because they minimized too.
Traffic Bars. This type of exchange works through your browser, IE, Firefox or Opera. A program is downloaded and installed and places a bar in the browser area of the computer. This bar shows an ad of another member each time you click to browse as you normally would. Each time a new ad shows on your browser, your ad shows on another members browser.
Below this article are different forms of traffic exchanges. Traffic exchanges can bring visitors to your website or home based business, product or service at no cost. And folks, without traffic you have no business. If money is too tight to advertise with Google Adwords or Yahoo pay per click and all the others that require payment to bring traffic to your business, the alternatives listed can help you get your home based business to a profitable state where you can afford the paid advertising methods.
