Surf faster – Get credits faster – Get better results for your websites
Manual traffic exchanges can be a great way to get hits to your website or to promote an affiliate url. It will be easier and much more effective if you use these 15 surfing tips.
1. Use a splash page instead of a full screen website page. Surfers will often view your page for only 10-30 seconds and you need to grab their attention immediately.
2. Limit the graphics and flash animation so your page loads quickly.
3. Make it possible for the surfer to open up a new page if they want more details and let them clearly know that will happen.
4. Regularly check that the website url links you have submitted are working to make sure your credits are not being wasted.
5. Allocate the credits at the end of each surfing session if that is not done automatically. There is usually no reason to bank up credits. Get hits to your site as soon as possible since that is why you are using a manual traffic exchange.
6. Submit as many websites as the TE allows even if you submit the same site multiple times. By having the maximum amount of websites submitted your site(s) will rotate faster into the system for other surfers to view.
7. Never trade credits for banner impressions or text advertisement hits. Neither of these ways to advertise is usually as effective at the traffic exchanges.
8. While you are surfing stay alert for bonuses and rewards. Many manual traffic exchanges randomly offer bonuses of additional credits as you are surfing. They usually require that you click somewhere to show you are viewing the sites and then you will receive the credits. If you are surfing too fast you may click right past these bonuses and miss out on a lot of extra credits.
9. Stay alert for questions or verification that you are viewing the page. Some sites will prevent you from even clicking to the next site until you verify. Others will let you keep clicking but you won’t be earning any credits.
10. To accumulate credits faster don’t get sidetracked by the sites you are viewing. If a site grabs your interest just bookmark it or jot down the web address so you can pull it up later.
11. Open the TE’s you are going to surf in multiple tabs. This way you can surf about 5-8 manual traffic exchanges at the same time. After you login to the site, start the timer in the first one, click the next tab and start the timer on that site and so on. When doing it this way you should never have to wait for a timer because it is already finished by the time you click back to that tab. With practice and experience many people can surf about 1,000 pages an hour this way. There is a great browser that will help you surf about 60% faster called TEBrowser. You can instantly login and surf multiple traffic exchanges. Without even clicking it instantly and automatically switches to the next tab. We and everyone we know loves using TEBrowser because it makes the surfing so much easier and faster.
12. The best sites to advertise on manual traffic exchanges are other TE’s, revenue share programs, and other forms of Internet advertising. It also works well to offer free information about Internet marketing, website development, search engine optimization or anything that might help someone with an online business.
13. The manual traffic exchanges are saturated with promotions for mlm’s, affiliate programs, and get rich quick schemes. Advertising income opportunities doesn’t usually work too well on traffic exchanges unless the program is very new. Most of the members that are surfing are already in a program and are not interested in joining other ones. They are surfing to get credits to promote their own sites not to look for income opportunities.
14. High speed Internet is a huge advantage for fast efficient surfing especially if you plan to surf the manual traffic exchanges every day.
15. Consider upgrading, especially if you are having good response to your promotions. Many manual traffic exchanges will every month give upgraded members free credits, a better credit ratio while surfing, additional credits based on your referral’s surfing, and referral commissions. Some of them will also add random referrals to your downline.
If you have never used manual traffic exchanges these tips will make more sense once you start. Each manual traffic exchange will have variations in how their own particular system works. It will not be hard to make some adjustments to these tips as you start using specific programs.
