Should I add my adsense ads showing site on TEs

The answer is NO.

Look at the whole scenario this way: Most of the ad programs, like adsense, adbrite etc pay a publisher on the basis of Pay per click and Pay per impression model. The more the number of visitors to a blog/website means the more impressions and thus more clicks.

So, no wonder most of the ad programs don’t allow a publisher to put their ads on blogs/ sites submitted to Traffic exchangers.

Traffic Exchangers too don’t allow a user to add blogs/sites with ad programs on their exchanges.

So what should you do?

You should use Traffic exchangers for those blogs/sites that do not show ads.

The objective should be to spread the word, rather than making insignificant money thru TE traffic and risking your hard to get adsense account.

Bringing in visitors to your Website thru TEs

In the second article of the series I discussed with you, the procedure of accumulating credits or points at a traffic exchanger, thru surfing; so the next logical step will be, to bring in the visitors to one’s website.

So in the third article: Article 3 of this series I’ll tell you how to add your site in a traffic exchanger. The idea is to assign the credits or points you have earned so far thru surfing to your site.

This is pretty simple.

Step 1: Login to your account.

Step 2: Go to the Link which says “Add your url” or “My sites” or something like that.

Step 3: Add your site

Step 4: Validate it. TE Checks for pop ups ads, iFrames, adsense like programs etc.

Step 5: Assign the number of credits or points, you like to assign.

You are done.

You’ll get the visitors to your site, the number of which will depend on the credit to visitor ratio.

Registered with the best traffic exchangers: What NEXT!

As I said in my previous post--registering(opening an account) with the best traffic exchangers is the first logical step, in your journey into traffic generation.

Next step is ...Yes... bringing traffic to one's site.

For this, login to your account, using your user name and chosen password. If you don't find the sign-in box in the homepage itself, go to the member's area, and login there.
Once logged in. You'll see various utilities and info links that you'll need to use the program effectively. The links you need to pay attention to, are "Add Your wesite" and "My Account Info"(the link titles can be different, so in simple all you need to do right now, is to check your user account and add those of your blogs/websites, to which you want to bring traffic to.)

If you're not sure, about the blogs for which you want to get traffic, or you haven't created a blog yet--simply skip the "Add Your website" step; and Click the "Start Surfing" link straight away.

On clicking this link, you'll be directed to a page, called the surfing page. As the name suggests, on this surf page, you'll be shown sites/blogs one after another, one at a time. But as you're the one who has to do the surfing, you are provided with a counter at the top-left(or some other place)of the page. Most of these counters work on -- click the matching shape or number. When you click on the correct match, you're shown the next site. But there's a condition, a timer is shown adjacent to the match-the-shape counter, and you have to click the correct match only when the timer sets to zero or shows "Go".

For each site surfed you'll get a credit or two; on the basis of these credits, you'll be given visitors for your site.

I hope the second part of the series on traffic exchangers will help you surf instantaneously.

Bloggers and small businesses ! -- A free account at some Traffic exchanger can increase your traffic

One of the most difficult tasks for any blogger or product/service/concept seller on web is to bring traffic to his/her respective blog/site. Those who are new or are still planning to use web to promote their thoughts or businesses may argue the truthfulness of the assertion just made; but veterans in this field—admit that, bringing traffic to one’s blog/site is indeed the biggest challenge.
And you better believe – as no matter how well you write, no matter how revolutionary your product or concept is, if you can’t win the traffic challenge, sooner than later you’ll become an unsuccessful story on the web. And no one wants to be a loser.

Why you better believe?

As in comparison to the real world, the amount of information on the web is humongous…and unless you consciously put your business/thought/concept/product/service in the view of the prospective reader/buyer/user, no one will ever know about it.

Bigger organizations/companies know this well, that’s why they put huge resources and money to bring in traffic to their sites. Their efforts to bring in traffic always surpass the efforts they put in the developing/ adapting the product/service/concept.

One of the most effective ways of bringing in traffic is taking the services of traffic exchangers. As the name suggests, these programs give you traffic in return of traffic.

And before going further, one thing which makes a compelling case for using traffic exchange programs is that both big and small businesses/bloggers use them.

Only difference is that while big bloggers/businesses go for paid versions, amateur bloggers and small businesses go for free versions.

So it’s your pocket that’s the deciding factor on which type of exchange you choose—paid or free.

One thing, which I wish to put strongly is, free exchange is more than enough for growing bloggers and small businesses.

As I’m also into blogging, I always opt for free exchange, and I think it serves the blogging or small enterprise needs quite well. You’ve always the option to go for the paid one, once you think the need is.

I registered for many free accounts at different traffic exchangers and used them. From my personal experience, I’m listing for you five best traffic exchangers on web at present. You’ll get to know, the factors on which I based my decision while compiling the list in future write-ups. Right now if interested, you just need to take the first step—registering for a free account.

(PS: You can use the same username and password for different exchangers, and make sure you put correct personal information, that’ll help in case you are made some payments. Yes, you can earn too.)
