TRAFFIC REVIEW SERVICES
With hundreds, if not thousands of companies making wonderful claims about their advertising services it can be almost impossible to know which are worth a chunk of your advertising budget. One way to reduce the risk is to find out what has worked for others.

Hit Exchange Report
With what must now be hundreds of different traffic exchanges around, it can be hard to know which ones to choose. Hit Exchange Report operates a database of millions of hits delivered by hit exchanges since 2002 and the quality of the traffic delivered. They present that information in a convenient and easy-to-understand report. On average, each report analyzes 400,000 hits delivered over the last six weeks by nearly 100 hit exchanges in order to present you with the Top 40 Hit Exchanges. The report is updated weekly and sold by single issue or monthly subscription. You can get a copy/subscription yourself from TestHoopla.com or if you just want to know which are the top performing exchanges according to their findings, then you’ll find the answers below. I can’t promise to update this section every week but I will update it on a regular basis. You can however find the latest listing here.
TRAFFIC EXCHANGES
If you’re looking to boost the traffic to your site, but can’t yet afford to spend any money on advertising, but have plenty of time on your hands,there are now several sites springing up that will bring visitors to your site, not just show a banner, in exchange for you visiting the sites of others. Many of these also operate a referral program whereby you also get extra visits in exchange for the visits made by your referrals. This form of promotion is particularly useful if you have a replica site which cannot be promoted using search engines, although even in these cases you should still try to personalise the page you promote by using splash pages or a blog.
These sites also make it really easy to keep up to date with all the latest business opportunities, and other interesting sites.
For details of free and nearly free ways of getting referrals or promoting any online business, visit our downline page
CLICK EXCHANGE
With each of the following sites, you earn page views on your site, based on the number of pages you view from other sites.
If you don’t have the time or inclination to spend all day building up your account you can usually purchase upgrade packages which give you credits and referrals. Alternatively, take advantage of the bulk buying power of an advertising co-op and get thousands of page views for a few dollars a month. Quality Page Views for example offer you at least 4,500 page views per page on 37 different traffic exchanges for just $15 a month for 1 link or $22 for 2.

Others worth considering are:
Linkcrews- Tokens earned per view increases as you move up the league table of points earned in the week. Bonus points as you surf plus weekly tokens from your final crew position.
RoyalSurf is a new traffic exchange that has burst into the Hit Exchange Top 40. In addition to earning credits from your own surfing you’re also a citizen of a kingdom jointly surfing to slay dragons, rescue princesses etc. with bonus weekly credits for the top kingdoms.
WebCentreSurf – Whilst almost all exchanges offer you the chance to generate visitors at no cost, most offer an upgrade which offers considerable advantages in the way of increased visitor ratios (you need to visit fewer sites to get the same number of visitors) and often includes other benefits.
Of course, just viewing sites can get a little bit boring so the best sites add extra twists to keep you alert and interested. WebCentreSurf has always been one of my favourites as they throw in bonus credits at random intervals (but only if you’re paying attention) and after every 50 sites you get a general knowledge quiz with the chance to earn 1000 credits, along the lines of “Who wants to be a millionaire?”. For once the questions have a strong British theme but I tend to chicken out at the 125 credit mark so I don’t know how tough the later questions are.
Up until recently I hadn’t upgraded with this site but that changed when they announced a major improvement to their membership options. Every upgraded member not only gets free credits, free referrals and other surfing perks but you now get the chance to send a solo ad every month to every member of the program, currently around 21,500. Every member who reads the ad and visits your site earns 10 bonus credits and they are reminded that your message is waiting every time they surf. With upgrades starting at just $5 a month, this has to be the best offer you’ll see all year.
Magic Highway – Traffic Exchanges can be a great way for getting people to visit a website, either your own or a link provided by a site you’re promoting, but the way they really come into their own is by getting referrals so that you also earn credits when others surf. Unfortunately most of us have little success in getting more than 1 or 2 sign-ups, even for free. Magic Highway could end that problem without having to do any recruiting, upgrading or purchasing a downline.
Magichighway.com operates a treasure hunt every week whereby anybody who finds 18 or more of the 20 treasures (each with their own individual bonus awards) can get added to the Admin-Sponsored-Member rotator for new unassigned members. Alternatively you can choose a prize of traffic credits or setting one of the treasure questions to link to your site for the answer.
However even if you don’t find all the treasure you’re still guaranteed to be added to the rotator providing you meet their surfing requirements. As these simply require you to surf every day of that particular week, and visit an average of 100 sites per day over the week this isn’t too difficult to achieve.

One site I’ve been particularly impressed with, is Linkreferral. You list the site you wish to promote – either your own or an affiliate link – and for just a small amount of work, you can get a good number of visitors to your site. It works a little like a traffic exchange in that your ranking in the directory is improved by visiting other sites in the directory, but there are two major advantages. With most traffic exchanges, people are surfing as many sites as possible to generate as many return hits and therefore often tend to pay little attention to what is being shown to them. Linkreferral only gives you any benefit from the first 30 sites you visit each day, and to further ensure you take time to look at the sites properly, you get an extra boost to the ranking of your site by providing a review on up to 5 of the sites you visit. The reviews I’ve received have clearly been from people who’ve really looked at the content provided. Details available from Linkreferral.
