Traffic Exchanges 

Traffic Exchanges generate instant exposure to your web site.
When joining an exchange your are asked for your email address and the url you wish to promote.  You will receive two urls, one to generate  traffic (surfing url) and the other to send referrals too (referral url). 

The surfing url is the one that you earn traffic with. Simply put, you view one of theirs, and your url is shown to other members.  The surf window contains a timer and when the timer reaches zero, you are asked to click to continue.

You will get a percentage of traffic generated from referrals . The surfing ratios vary from 1:1 to 2:1 depending on the exchange.. The name of the game here is to get lot of referrals henceforth lot of FREE traffic. This way you will not have to surf as much. 

Here is a trick of the trade: Some of the traffic exchanges have 30 second time interval. In order to maximize your surfing efforts join 10-12 traffic exchanges. More the merrier, since you want the variety of viewers. Download (free of charge) Firefox browser   and in "Bookmarks" create a file to store all 10-12 surfing urls. Open that file "open in tabs" whereby all of the url's will open in separate tabs. What this allows you is to surf all of your programs simultaneously earning you lot of free traffic in minimum amount of time! I have tried several other browsers, and most of them freeze-up with only 3-4 url's. Using this technique you can generate over 1000 hits an hour!
