Some people say that traffic exchanges don’t work. Well that is true…if they are not used properly. I see many sites in rotations that do not get results.

The wrong way to use them is to put your generic affiliate links in rotation. You know, the one that shows the sign up, or front page of the program you are trying to promote. I also see blogs, e-store fronts, informational sites, and more. Important to note: putting any sites in rotation with Adsense code in them will get your Adsense account deleted WHEN Google finds out.

The right way is to put splash, lead capture, and squeeze pages in rotation. The programs or products you promote will often have splash pages already created for you. Just look in the affiliate tools area at that website for your promotional pages. If not, you can easily create your own splash pages with the many tools that are available online. TE Toolbox is a great example.

Lead capture or squeeze pages are even better. You can also build those easily at TE Toolbox. You put those in rotation and give other surfers something of value in exchange for their email address. Then, you can recommend programs and products directly to them. This is what makes the pros so successful.

So, to recap. Generic affiliate links DO NOT work in traffic exchanges. Splash, lead capture, and squeeze pages DO work.

I’ll be looking for your pages in the traffic exchanges.
