Traffic Exchange Tips

Tracking your traffic has two benefits. The first benefit, you see if your traffic is actually being delivered. If an exchange sends 1000 hits to your site, but your tracker says only 100 were received, you know somethings not right!

The second reason, is results. If you use tracking to see how many signups you are getting, you can see if you ads are effective. You can run two splash pages, and see which performs better. Or you can track a splash page and when the signups slow down, you know it’s time for a fresh advertisement.

Some traffic exchanges give you more control over the delivery of hits. With StartXchange you can set a Rate for each URL independently. This rate will limit the number of hits delivered within a 24 hour period.  It will spread these hits out over the whole day, so if you have the limit set to 100 you can expect up to 4 hits per hour.

You can also add your website into the website manager multiple times. This is an easy way to get more traffic delivered on exchanges that don’t give you the option. However, as you do this the number of unique views will go down.

If you want more unique hits, add your website once and increase the rate. If you want a ton of  traffic,  add your website multiple times and increase the rate on each!
