Using traffic exchanges to generate sales and lower your bounce rate. It can be done.

Now I'm sure a lot of us have used a traffic exchange in the past or even use them today. We all know that the quality of these traffic exchanges usually isn't very good, but we'll use them anyway in hopes of snagging a quality lead here and there. It's quite possible to snag a good lead through traffic exchanges, but you have to do it the right way.

The trick I like to do is set up a type of buffer website in order to snag people who are paying attention to their browser when they're surfing. This really doesn't have to be very complicated, you can just put up a one page website that has a "Click Here" button that opens in a new tab. It has to open in a new tab in order to keep the person browsing, you don't want to piss them off by interrupting that. Because you know as well as I do that if someone gets annoyed with you, they probably won't be purchasing Using traffic exchanges to generate sales and lower your bounce rate.  It can be done. Put one or two lines of text on the page so they can read it within 10 seconds and decide if they want to click through. If you're selling yoga pants you should put up some text with an image that says "50% off all our yoga pants" and have your "Click Here" button just below the text. This is a short and sweet line of text and lets people know what you have and the money they will be saving if they buy from you Using traffic exchanges to generate sales and lower your bounce rate.  It can be done.

Buying 1,000,000 visits from a traffic exchange won't do much if they are on your page for 10 seconds. Mainly because the traffic exchange will slow down the load of your website because it's within an iframe. So it could actually take 10 seconds for your website to load and the person is already on to the next page before they can read your ad/text. I like to set my visits to 30 seconds so that I know my page is loading and the person has time to read the text and click through Using traffic exchanges to generate sales and lower your bounce rate.  It can be done.

The main reason for setting up a buffer website to do this is because all traffic exchanges will kill your bounce rate and bandwidth. The people who click through are interested in what you're selling and will be on your website for a good amount of time viewing multiple pages. So this will help you with sales and your bounce rates Using traffic exchanges to generate sales and lower your bounce rate.  It can be done.

You'll want to set up a shared hosting account that offers unlimited bandwidth so you don't get cut off and begin wasting your traffic through the traffic exchanges.

I have used my fair share of traffic exchanges in the past as well, and found that they are basically a waste of time if you're trying to sell products. If you just want traffic to your website then by all means join a traffic exchange. I actually had my own traffic exchange website, which got over 50 members in the first week of launching.

Here's a scope of what happened:
Members would submit their site, and never log back in. I believe I had 3 users who actively surfed websites, and 1 user who actually bought traffic packages.

Now, i decided to start again, and used a script I sell called "Traffic Exchange System Script" and it somehow seems to do quite well.. perhaps what I found to be annoying, other users did as well is the games, trophies, or other irrelevant functions that do nothing in terms of traffic, and it's just a basic traffic exchange script with no games, or anything like that.. it focuses on just traffic mostly.

I don't believe that suggested tactic will work to lower bounce rate or make better sales conversion. I tried many different tactics and same as this one, and none of them worked regarding conversion to sales.

First of all, traffic exchange users are there because it's free and they would only look for further freebies if they look for anything while surfing in order to earn credits.

This people is also bombarded by all kind of spam, sales, catchy pages, subscription form etc etc and i believe they feeling sick to click on any of these offers, except it's total beginner surfing there. So from my point of view, using traffic exchanges for anything but high bounce rate visits is hopeless and time wasting.

It doesn't help the bounce rate of your one page website because people will be coming to it and leaving when the timer tells them to. But the people that actually read the page and click through to your real website will be interested in what you have and be more willing to sign up for something.

Not all traffic exchange users are there because it's free. They are there because they don't know how to gain traffic and want it immediately. They may not know exactly what they're doing because they're new to the whole game, and those people usually have day jobs in which they can use the paychecks from to pay me for services starting at $2 lol.

I recently set up a system like this and I'm up $50 so far. So when you say it doesn't work, I say I'm already getting it to work ;)

Razzy how does this differ to sending people to a lead page?

I've noticed that bounce rates are awful with traffic exchanges and pay to click websites. I played around with it before a long time ago and I found the traffic very bad quality and I've since come to realize that this traffic can be damaging to my website.

If I understand you correctly you are saying that this method involves a one page website set up specifically to take the hit of the bad bounce rate, and if anyone is interested in the offer they will then click through to the website you actually want to make sales on?

I can see the sense in this since the traffic is so cheap so you can afford to get loads of it and even if you only make one or two sales it might be worthwhile.

Correct. The one page website you set up will have a horrible bounce rate lol Using traffic exchanges to generate sales and lower your bounce rate.  It can be done. But the people who actually click through will be interested in what you have to offer. You won't get 1,000s a day, but you will get a few if you do it right.

That is a good information to give us an insight on traffic exchange. I believe that thing you said about members who would post their link and never come back. We have to admit that we sometimes do that, right? I have noticed in the internet that most users really don’t care and their only objective is to obtain what they want. In other words, the traffic exchange may only be used for selfish motives.
