When I first started marketing online I looked for free ways to market on the Internet and the first method I was exposed to were traffic exchanges. I quickly realized that I would get over 1,000 hits with no one opting into my website. Then I started thinking of other ways to drive traffic online. I started getting into Social Media marketing and Video marketing and generated no leads from that either! I looked around from people saying they were generating leads from all these places and I was just stuck!
I finally read a book called Magnetic Sponsoring and learned I was doing it all wrong. I learned I needed to STOP promoting my replicated website. Start branding myself (You Inc.) then things would start working out for me. So I did just that and guess what happened? I started generating leads from social media and video marketing. In fact those have been my flagship marketing methods ever since.
Then I got to thinking, well if I came from generating 0 leads to generating all my leads in social media and video from just applying attraction marketing then why can't I do the same thing for traffic exchanges? So I applied the same strategies, got into the minds of the surfers and started offering something they would want to know about (how to build their business better). I recorded a short 20 second video talking in the surfing language and enticing them to opt into my page. At this point I started getting a 1% opt-in-rate to my capture page. Now this may sound like a low number, but when you see that a high traffic exchange can give you thousands of visitors, that seemingly low percentage is better.
So for this example you get 1,000 visitors a day you are generating 10 leads a day! How many of you reading this are generating 10 leads a day for free? Now turn it up a notch and pay for some of the traffic you get and put that up to 10,000 visitors a day throughout many different traffic exchanges now you get 100 leads a day. Pretty amazing isn't it! Now I haven't generated 100 leads a day in traffic exchanges because quite frankly I haven't put that much traffic to my site from them. I”m just telling you the numbers with a 1% conversion rate on your capture page. Some exchanges convert better then others so pick them wisely!
Here are the steps for a highly converting traffic exchange campaign. If you don't follow this you will not generate many leads:
1. You need an attraction marketing system where you can give away free training or value. Try ours by clicking here.
2. You need some way of building custom capture pages. You can use BlueVoda or GDI for that…
3. Record a 20 second video talking to surfers to put it on a capture page, then record a similar video like I did above to give people after they opt into your page.
4. Now join 3-6 highly ranked and valued traffic exchanges and buy the highest monthly package so you get visitors right away and don't have to spend so much time surfing all day long.
5. Plug your website in and start watching leads come in on a daily basis.
If you are looking for some exchanges that get the best traffic look below, but remember none of them will work if you do the mistake that I did and not lead with value up front. Our system will allow you to do just that. Be sure to pick it up here.

Hi Mike,
Great post and so very needed.
I don’t use traffic exchanges much anymore myself, but I can tell you that at the start of my online business career I had the same results you did.
At first, nothing. And I mean nothing. Hours of surfing and all I gained was a worn out mouse and lots of wasted time.
But then, as you did, I began to provide value up front by plugging into an attraction marketing system. Made a quick video, and saw a 1-2% conversion rate immediately.
If anyone here is NOT using attraction marketing in traffic exchanges, please stop wasting your time. Plug into the system Mike recommends and start generating some serious leads.
Thanks for the post, Mike!
Thanks for the information Mike…I will give Traffic Exchanges a shot soon!
Thanks for sharing you list of TE’s Mike.
I am already on some but will check out the rest for sure.
Cheers!
Is this still relevant in 2012?
