Press Release Summary = What are Traffic Exchange ? What can your business benefit
from Traffic Exchange and how to get started.

Press Release Body = Traffic Exchange programs are services that online users with a
common objective use, in an effort to gain more exposure for their business.

There are different types of traffic exchange programs. There are some that will let
you surf the Internet as you normally would, with the only exception being that you
set your browser\'s start page to their default advertising page. Once your
homepage\'s browser loads you earn a certain number of advertising credits. You get
additional credits for clicking on links of other members in the program\'s network.
You can then use these credits for exposing your links to the network, with a chance
of potential visitors and sales.

Some other traffic exchange services will make your surfing experience a bit more
complex, since you would have to wait for a timer to expire in order to be awarded
credits, and while that timer counts down you are forced to view another person\'s
website from the network.

Some of these measures were taken by the traffic exchange programs in an effort to
minimize or eliminate cheating, since some users came up with ways to cheat the
system by using software programs that auto surf and earn them credits.

Typically, participants to these traffic exchanges will surf the Internet with a
slight modification of how they normally would, in an effort to collect credits.

One can conclude that the less distracting from the normal surfing experience, the
more the webmaster would be willing to use that traffic exchange program. Also, the
less forced an ad/website on a user, the more targeted he/she will be for that
product or service. For example, someone who is reads a headline in a traffic
exchange and clicks on it to view the website is more targeted than someone who
views it because he/she is forced to wait for a timer to expire.

Now that you have an overview of what traffic exchange programs are, and how they
work, we can go over their main benefits:

1. Free

Almost all traffic exchange services are free, although you can upgrade your
membership to get additional benefits in some. This means that someone with a low or
no budget can start advertising their website fast and for no cost.

2. Targeted Traffic (for Internet Marketing)

If your product is Internet marketing related then the traffic you would receive to
your website will be somewhat targeted because it will be people like you, who are
looking for more ways to increase their online income.

3. You can build a list.

You can have a page designed to give out a freebie or a 5 part e-course in exchange
for an email address. You can then follow up with these leads and sell them more
stuff in the future.

4. You can recruit affiliates

If you have your own product and affiliate program, you can recruit affiliates to
sell your products for a commission. The more people selling your products, the more
passive income you will make.

In conclusion, traffic exchanges offer a great free way of promoting your business.
They should be included in your advertising arsenal but make sure that you leverage
your time effectively, and you don\'t surf for hours for those advertising credits.
Try to find a traffic exchange program that will not hinder your normal surfing
behavior, while advertising your business, and you will be one of the few people who
maximize their time and effort with this free marketing tool.
