Increased Web Site Traffic By: Nathian Jackson     Getting increased web site traffic is every website owners nightmare. With so many options to choose from where do you begin? In this article we will show you a simple method you can use today that will get you increased web site traffic. One of the most popular free traffic generation techniques is to use Traffic Exchanges. Traffic exchanges are basically what the term sounds like. They are a website set up to allow each “member” of the exchange network to show off their sites in exchange for viewing the websites of other network members. Generally, for each website you view as a member you gain a credit. This credit “ratio” will vary depending upon which exchange you are a member of. Each full credit means that your site is viewed by another member. Not all traffic exchanges are the same. Some are better than others. Some offer better benefits, ratios, and even a downline creation so you can earn credits off of the views of other members you have personally referred into the exchange network. Most exchange networks run on a 20 or 30 second timer. This means you have about 30 seconds to grab the attention of your viewer and make them want to take action. Some exchanges will automatically move on to the next member page after the timer is completed, while others require you to click on a link, a particular icon or item, or a button to move to the next page. The best ones require the item you click on to match up with what they tell you to click in order to verify you are a real person and are really using the exchange network. These types of exchanges keep “bots” or special software/scripts from running on their networks and showing false traffic. The primary benefit to using Traffic Exchanges is to get people to visit your website so that they can be “recruited” to either buy your product(s) or sign up for your membership based website. Your link on the Traffic Exchange should point to a page on your website that has a “Reach Out and Grab You” headline, a few Bullet Points highlighting the benefits of submitting a name and email address, and an Autoresponder Form to capture those names and email addresses. No flashy graphics, no outlandish site design. Keep the page simple and straight forward. The only thing you want to do with a traffic exchange is get your prospects information. There are several things that you can do with a viewer once they have subscribed from the Traffic Exchange: Make a “sales pitch” to the viewer in an attempt to get them to buy your product Get them to sign up for your membership based website Present information on subject matter that is relevant to the subject matter of the Traffic Exchange category from where your user came from. Once you have your viewer’s information, then you can send them more detailed follow-up information.. In the emails you send, you have much more room to “sell” them on your site features, benefits, and so forth. This is where your marketing comes into play. The primary reason that people may not want to give you their personal information is because they don’t know what you are going to do with it once you have it. If you are going to ask people to provide you with their information it is imperative that you provide them with the promise that you will never sell, rent or share their personal information to anyone, at any time. Be sure you understand the terms, conditions, and policies of each specific Traffic Exchange before you join so that you may derive the maximum amount of benefit from the relationship. Traffic exchanges can get you increased web site traffic pretty easy, and used correctly can also help you with list building aswell.
