Why Traffic Exchanges Are A Poor Marketing Method For Home Businesses

By Russell Howe


When looking for tips on how to build an income online via an affiliate program such as Empower Network or Global Domains International, it is not uncommon to hear people talk of using a traffic exchange service. In today's review we'll reveal why that's exactly what you should not be doing.

Many areas of online business are misleading and this is one of the biggest culprits. Often billing itself as a miracle solution to your home business problems, it leads to very little benefit. []

The main reason these services have survived for so many years comes down to the simplicity of the marketing behind it. They realize that the majority of the home business industry is looking for a way to get quick, easy results which don't require very much effort on the part of the affiliate.

If you are not sure what one of these websites actually does, here is an explanation:

Members get to watch each other's adverts for their chosen affiliate program and by viewing other people's ads you earn credits for your account. The more credits you earn, the more times you can enter your own advert into the rota so other members watch your post.

The main reason they have survived so long is the way they present themselves to those who are brand new to the online marketing scene. They'll often make claims that your ad will be seen by ultra-targeted leads who are already highly interested in what you have to show them because they're already trying to make money online just like you...

But when you get down to the reality, it's nowhere near as great as it sounds.

First of all it's boring. Countless affiliates spend hours clicking on adverts every single day and despite seeing very little return from it they simply continue with the same strategy. Becoming your own boss was supposed to be fun, remember?

People are not getting the results they expected because the reality is nothing like the sales pitch they initially read. Everybody who sees your advert is already involved in a business opportunity. They are there to promote that, not to look for other opportunities.

One of the most popular methods to kill the tedious nature of clicking adverts and waiting for timers to expire is to open multiple programs and scroll between them, earning credits on each of them simultaneously. By the time the clock on the first advert has reached zero, you have set the other 4-5 websites counting down too, allowing you to continuously scroll and not actually look at any of the advertisements. The thing is, everybody else is doing this as well so your advert is not being seen by anybody.

While taking out a premium membership would cure the boredom of needing to click on adverts for hours as you earn credits manually, it doesn't solve the second issue. What is the point in having 10,000 credits in your account if nobody is even looking at your advert in the first place? There is none.

Focusing your efforts on a marketing resource which returns little results or in some cases absolutely zero, seems like a bad approach to doing business. Yet countless affiliate marketers, regardless of whether they are working with an Empower Network or an Avon business, continue to toil for hours each day clicking on traffic exchange adverts in the blind hope that somebody is going to like what they see.
