Why You Shouldn't Use Traffic Exchange Services To Build Your Home Based Business

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. []

By targeting their marketing towards those who are looking for a 'magic formula' or a 'secret website' to help them become their own boss overnight, these services have managed to survive for almost a decade despite returning very small results to users.

Before we show you why they aren't effective, let's take a quick look at what they actually do...

Each member gets to put their own advert into a rotation. Each time you watch an advert you earn a credit. The more credits you earn, the more times you can put your own ad into the rotation for other members to see.

Undoubtedly you can already see why they don't work, but with a little marketing spin you can really sell one of these to folks who are new to the industry. On the surface, it appears everybody who sees your advert is interested in what you have to offer because they're already an affiliate marketer.

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?

Primarily, every person using the website already has their own internet business because that is the reason they joined the service in the first place. When somebody is looking to join an opportunity they don't sign up to one of these services and scroll through the ads, they do research on search engines, social media and Youtube. They eyes which are looking at your advert have very little interest in it, other than the fact it earns them a credit.

Also, the most popular way to use these services is to open 4-5 of them in multiple screens and scroll between each one as the timers tick down. This allows you to earn 5 times the credits in the same amount of time, but with one killer aspect. You aren't looking at any of the adverts. Of course, you aren't interested in them anyway so that doesn't affect you but you need to realize that this is exactly what other users are also doing. To put it bluntly, nobody is looking at your advert.

Premium memberships are often touted as the solution to the endless clicking but, given the point above, there is very little realistic value to something which isn't even going to be seen.

While these services first appeared in the dawn of the internet age when programs such as Mary Kay dominated the home business scene, it's rather stupendous that they have survived all the way through to modern-era businesses such as Empower Network and Vittel. Affiliates continue to waste their time using traffic exchange websites to no avail. You can now learn from that and focus on superior methods.
