Is it good to use traffic exchanges to drive free traffic for affiliate marketing?
Are there any pitfall using traffic exchanges?

Thank you.
 


It may make sense if the traffic you are getting converts into sales for you. Otherwise exchanging traffic with website which has an audience which is not your target will just increase your overall traffic with no benefit to you. Like with anything test traffic sources, just because SiteA.com which you trade traffic with doesn't convert doesn't necessarily mean SiteB.com or even SiteZ.com will not. Traffic trading is pretty old school but the mommy bloggers are using it left and right as well as the adult industry - cause it works.

i've found traffic exchanges to be one of the hardest forms of traffic to generate leads from because, simply put, most of it's shit. safelists actually work a little better imo and for that reason i don't even consider traffic exchanges these days. in either case you'll get very low open and ctrs. using safeslits, u can still make it work but u really need to join several safelists.

if you're gonna go that way, it's very difficult to simply put an offer in front of them and make sales. the best use i've found for te or safelist traffic is to just use it to generate subs. have a strong squeeze in the im/mmo niche, build a list, build some trust, and then monetize. pro-tip: since most everyone on there is there to generate traffic themselves, a squeeze that offers a report/vid on traffic generation or list building can be effective.
 
the thing about traffic exchanges is that even though it is traffic, it is not very good traffic at all, 99% dead traffic only looking at your site for 5 seconds because they want you to look at your site for 10 seconds , ya know?

depends on the affiliate company you are with, but many do not like exchange traffic either
 
I tried traffic exchange before and it was a nightmare. Conversion was almost zero. After that, I tried webtrafficgeeks.org, Fiverr and a bunch of other traffic services and got far better results. Haven’t looked back since.
 
assuming you're talking about hitleap or something like that, don't waste your time. I couldn't even get people to OPTIN to a free offer off a traffic exchange like that, let alone buy anything.
 
Most traffic exchange sites are not worth your time because the traffic that they deliver is untargeted and cheap.

9 times out of 10 if you want more traffic, you're going to have to spend a good amount of time or money to get it. Also, most of the members of these sites aren't going to be interested in what you have to offer, they're only interested in getting eyes on their offer, so it's kind of a lose-lose situation.

Now, there's a small chance that someone will be interested in your offer, but that only happens every once in a while. If you do want to try a traffic exchange that allows
you to earn money, I'd suggest going with MyAdvertisingPays or Traffic Monsoon or both. You'll be able to earn money everyday and you can use the money you earn for investing into paid traffic.
 
Traffic exchange cann’t help you for the affiliate marketing. While not using the software/bots to exchange, because their interest is not to buy or action on offers rather just traffic.
 
I think it depends on how you optimized your campaigns. There are some who have brandsafe options like some DSP's.

But i have to agree that the conversion will be very low.
 
Haven't tried traffic exchanging so far, but you guys are convincing me not too
