Why Traffic Exchange Websites Will Not Build Your Online Business

By Russell Howe


When looking for tips on how to build an income online via an affiliate program such as Empower Network or Global Domains International, it is not uncommon to hear people talk of using a traffic exchange service. In today's review we'll reveal why that's exactly what you should not be doing.

Alongside safelists, this is one of the most misleading niche's in the world of online advertising for those looking to become their own boss. []

By targeting their marketing towards those who are looking for a 'magic formula' or a 'secret website' to help them become their own boss overnight, these services have managed to survive for almost a decade despite returning very small results to users.

If you are not sure what one of these websites actually does, here is an explanation:

They are designed to get you clicking on advertisements from other members of the service. Every 30 seconds you move onto the next advert, earning a credit in the process. As your credits mount up, you are able to put your own advertisement into the rotation.

Undoubtedly you can already see why they don't work, but with a little marketing spin you can really sell one of these to folks who are new to the industry. On the surface, it appears everybody who sees your advert is interested in what you have to offer because they're already an affiliate marketer.

But when you get down to the reality, it's nowhere near as great as it sounds.

This can only be described as one of the most tedious ways to market any opportunity and given the lack of financial results which it generates, it's no wonder people tend to lose interest in them quite quickly.

Primarily, every person using the website already has their own internet business because that is the reason they joined the service in the first place. When somebody is looking to join an opportunity they don't sign up to one of these services and scroll through the ads, they do research on search engines, social media and Youtube. They eyes which are looking at your advert have very little interest in it, other than the fact it earns them a credit.

One of the most popular methods to kill the tedious nature of clicking adverts and waiting for timers to expire is to open multiple programs and scroll between them, earning credits on each of them simultaneously. By the time the clock on the first advert has reached zero, you have set the other 4-5 websites counting down too, allowing you to continuously scroll and not actually look at any of the advertisements. The thing is, everybody else is doing this as well so your advert is not being seen by anybody.

Naturally, the companies will promote the benefits to a premium membership on a regular basis but once again there is little value as the only major difference is you don't need to earn credits manually anymore. Your advert is still only getting seen by a small minority of individuals who haven't yet worked out that they could earn more credits by opening up more exchanges and scrolling between them.

While these services first appeared in the dawn of the internet age when programs such as Mary Kay dominated the home business scene, it's rather stupendous that they have survived all the way through to modern-era businesses such as Empower Network and Vittel. Affiliates continue to waste their time using traffic exchange websites to no avail. You can now learn from that and focus on superior methods.
