I think the comments on this article are by people who are using traffic exchanges the "wrong" way. What you want to do is brand your name and face. Then the more times people see it, they will recognize you, and actually read what you have to say or trust you. Gain trust with them. Then, don't sell anything on the exchange. Instead get a lead (email address), build your list, or give them a (unique) splash page that they'll click through to read more. After all, if they click through, they are interested. Then you keep duplicating that process. Before you know it, you'll have referrals, a list, and be making money. Just using a traffic exchange is not enough. You have to use strategy and use it the "right" way. :) These are just a few points on how to use a traffic exchange effectively. There are many more (like tracking results). It may sound difficult at first, but once you get into the hang of things and keep up *consistency*, it comes like second nature -- like riding a bicycle. Consistency is the key word there. If you use te's the wrong way you get bad results. If you consistently use te's the wrong way, you consistently get bad results. If you use te's the right way, you get results. If you *consistently* use te's the right way, you'll get consistent results.. and that's where the money comes in.

Tim, I have a question concearning you blog topic "Spotting Bad Traffic Exchanges"
The 1st one I signed up for I must have surfed over 17,000 pages & never once did I see my website in the rotation. There were a handfull that came up over & over but never once did I see mine. I'd check my counter on the site & it just didn't jive with how many hits they told me I had received each day. How do I know who's lieing? My counter or the traffic exchange? This was rated high in some people opinions. How does this sound to you? A waste of time? So far this whole interenet has been a waste of time as I never see any real results. are most of the people on the internet actors? They jsut act like their making money? Is there nay honest on the web?

Can a traffic exchange get too good? If these rankings show *the best* and then more people are going there, and then more pages are being shown and yet more of the same pages because so much is the same thing just different promoter. Also, if a new person shows up and it takes them 200 views of other websites before coming to mine, they may have found 10 things that they liked and signed up for them and now are to busy to do anything else and I just missed out.

Not saying any of that is true, just thinking is it a possibility.
