The secret of making money online is driving traffic to your blog or website. It is for this particular reason that you must identify which are the best internet marketing strategies to employ. Sometimes in the pursuit of generating traffic you may discover that you have high traffic but is not targeted. This results in a high bounce rate which will definitely translate to a low click through rate since visitors will spend less than 10 seconds on your web page.
One way of countering this is by banner exchange. If you discover that the traffic you are attracting is of people that are not keen on what you are offering, join a banner exchange program where you can exchange banners with websites that receive traffic from another demographic.
A good example is where your affiliate marketing programs generate traffic from old people who are not interested in starting an online business but instead love gardening, with banner exchange programs you can choose to post your banner on websites that attract internet business based traffic. In return, since your traffic is interested in gardening you can include banners from websites that take care of their needs.
In addition, banners work very well when hosted on classified advertisement websites. To guarantee maximum exposure, make sure you go for classified advertisement sites that receive high traffic. The advantage is that some of this website offer free placement of banners.
There are classified sites that charge a fee to place banners. Though they do work, sometimes if the site is receiving a lot of adverts because of its high traffic, your banner will only appear for a short while before being pushed down by new advertisements submissions. But to counter this, you can keep resubmitting your banner advertisement every few hours so as to make sure it is always appearing at the top thus more exposure.
To achieve maximum results it is advisable to use different internet marketing techniques thus visit the link below to learn more online marketing tips.

How Traffic Exchanges Marketing works is, you view other members web pages in exchange for having your own web page viewed.
Every time you view another member’s web page for a period of time (for example 20 seconds) your balance of credits increases. Every time a member views your web page for the same period of time your credit balance decreases.
Almost all of them also allow you to build a network of members you’ve referred. Often your network can extend several levels deep so that as people you refer in turn refer others, you continue to gain more and more credits.
Some Traffic Exchanges also pay out cash incentives when the people in your network upgrade their membership or purchase other forms of advertising that the Traffic Exchange offers such as banner ads. This gives you several ways to benefit from participating in the Traffic Exchange.
When deciding which Traffic Exchange program to join, there are several features to consider:
Credit Ratio – All Traffic Exchanges allow you to earn credits in exchange for viewing other member’s web pages. Look for one that provides a good return on the number of credits you receive for each page you view.
Time Limits – When surfing for credits, most traffic exchanges require you to view a site for a minimum amount of time before you earn a credit. This is normally somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds. The longer you have to view a page means the slower you can surf, but it also means longer that potential customers view your pages.
Anti Cheat Mechanisms – To ensure that a real person is viewing your web site most Traffic Exchanges use anti cheating mechanisms. This usually means that instead of clicking a “Next Site” button you have to click on a specific graphic such as a number, letter, picture or coloured icon from a selection of a few, to proceed to the next site.
Repeated failure to do this correctly means account suspension or termination. Look for a Traffic Exchange with a system like this to ensure that your credits are not wasted on cheaters who never view your page.
Referrals – This is the fastest way to build up your credits. Plus you use the Power Surf Formula to recruit your Network. When someone signs up from your promotional efforts they are placed in your downlink.
Paid/Pro Memberships – Most Traffic Exchanges offer paid memberships as well as free memberships. Normally a paid membership earns you privileges such as an allocation of credits per month plus an increased number of credits for your own surfing and the surfing of your network. Most exchanges also allow you to purchase extra credits.
Bonuses – Many Traffic Exchanges will give you bonus credits for signing up, for surfing a certain number of pages, or for winning competitions or sweepstakes. Look for ones that provide added bonuses and accumulate credits even faster!
These are but a few of the benefits for Traffic Exchange Marketing

Have fun!
As I apply various strategies to drive traffic to my blog I can see that there are huge differences between Quality traffic (targeted) vs. Quantity traffic (huge numbers but might not be targeted). Depending on the purpose of your blog, one or the other will be more useful for you.
Quantity traffic:
Many of the traffic strategies I see being shared in articles, blogs and forums are geared to generate quantity traffic. That is driving massive spike of traffic to a site or a blog. This will results in a huge jump in visitors and your blog ranking will suddenly jump.
Many bloggers do this to get good ranking and visitor stats. However, most of the time these type of traffic won’t become loyal readers / subscribers to your blog. Following is one of the ways you can do this:
Write about something of high interest to the general masses (whether it is relevant to your blog’s purpose or not). Eg. writing a post on the latest celebrity scandal (on Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, etc) or the latest hip news like the latest iPhone or new game release like Halo 3. This will guarantee a huge spike in unique visitors to your blog/site.
Another example: In Singapore, recently the Penal Code is being reviewed. One of the topic being discussed is whether to legalize homosexual acts. This created a huge interest in the general public. Some people are against it, some are for it and others are neutral about it. If I wanted an easy way to spike my blog ranking, I could have easily write an article about this issue.
I would take a side and write a somewhat controversial view on the issue and my unique visitors will go through the roof!
However, those new visitors will most likely arrive at my blog once and never return again because the main focus of my site is entrepreneurship and marketing. The huge spike in visitors numbers will look great but those would be flakes.
I also came across strategies that teaches people to go to social networking sites and post things that are controversial in nature on purpose. Again the aim is to spike up the number of visitors to your blog. A lot of the times this will also result in a one-time spike that will immediately die down. (However, this strategy can work if you just tweak it slightly. Read on below.)
This kind of quantity traffic (spike) strategies might work well for blogs that are using adsense to monetize. The more traffic goes to the blog the higher chance of people clicking those targeted adsense ads. However, if your aim is to build a brand, then this strategy is bad for you. Branding is about being consistency so you’re better off building quality traffic.
Quality traffic:
This is the kind of traffic I’m building. Quality traffic means visitors who generally know what your blog/site is about. What you’re offering. And they decide to visit your site based on articles, posts or comments that are consistent to the content of your blog/site.
When they arrive at your blog/site, they have a much higher chance of subscribing or re-visiting again and again because the content you’re offering is relevant to them. The strategies I’ve been applying and mentioned in my previous “Traffic Generation Challenge” articles tend to generate quality traffic.
Quality traffic tend to last much longer and are great for long-term growth and branding.
However, this does not mean that building quality traffic has to be slow. You can use the controversial angle mentioned above to generate quick spike in visitors. The trick is to be relevant to your content. Just think about it, the report “The Death of Internet Marketing” by Mike Filsaime is a good example.
While most ‘guru’s are going on and on about the benefits of Internet marketing and that every one should go on the Internet, Mike Filsaime decided to go the opposite way and be controversial by releasing a report about the death of Internet marketing. Obviously tons of people want to know what is the content of the report. That spiked up visitors to his site. Is that on purpose? Absolutely.
But are those visitors ‘quality traffic’? Yes because the ones who are interested in Mike’s report are those who are interested in Internet marketing. And Mike is promoting Internet marketing stuffs. That report helped to build Mike’s long term branding as a top Internet marketer.
So are you looking for quality traffic or quantity traffic? Are the strategies you are using congruent?

We will control the surfing of all members and those who are found to cheat, for example by passing the codes to others, will get banned from this contest.
What do I have to do to Win?

You need to find 1 Code at Traffic Witch and 1 Code at BootScootin Traffic within 1 week. Submit both codes before Sunday through the form on top of this page.
