Traffic Exchanges
Traffic/Click exchanges are a way of getting your splash pages or websites viewed by hundreds or thousands of people for free. Although they offer you a way to get your site seen by a lot of people they are by no means a quick fix solution.
They work by displaying someone else's pages on your screen, and for every page that you view, you earn credits that will in turn, translate into views of your site on someone else's Screen. To earn the credits you must view the page for so many seconds before moving on to the next one. The length of time you need to view each page depends on the exchange and ranges from 30 seconds down to 10 seconds.
Each exchanges operates slightly different in the way that they enforce their time limits. Some simply get you to click on a Next button to proceed to the next page, whilst others will have you click on a particular colored box or click on a particular word in a list, hence the term 'Click Exchange'.
Most will also run a compensation scheme, where you earn a percentage of the traffic that your personally enrolled members earn. Normally this goes down a certain number of levels depending on which exchange you use., so you also earn traffic from your personal members, and members they bring in.
People have differing views on the effectiveness of these exchanges. Some have success with them and some don't. I think this has to do a lot with the exchange you are using and the quantity of views your page receives.
It is also worth considering that email marketing is getting harder and harder as more and more email accounts are getting anti-spam software installed. This means people trying to promote their businesses are turning to other means of advertising, traffic exchanges being one of them.
New exchanges are opening up all the time as this form of promotion gets more and more popular.
If you only have a small number of credits then your page isn't going to be seen by many people. The trick is to build a large number of credits so that your page keeps being seen. The more exposure it has the more chance there is that someone will get curious about it.
This is where Profit Rally can really give you a boost. The more members that join under you the more referral credits you'll earn, building you a steady stream of Free Traffic for your sites.
