What Are Traffic Exchanges Good For?

Someone on FaceBook asked a really good question:

>>Matt Wells Can someone explain to me what makes TE's so wonderful please. I've used them once or twice, but they don't seem to be an effective means of marketing.... Please correct me if I'm wrong.<<

 Of course I just HAD to answer. Thought I'd share it with you. If you are new to Traffic Exchanges, you may have asked the same question. :-)

Rebecca D Thames Traffic Exchanges only really work with consistency and advertising things that appeal to people surfing the exchanges. Ex. you probably wouldn't do well selling interior decorating, or house cleaning services. However, SEO services, or authenticated $ making opportunities and other means of advertising (such as other TEs) might go over well. Plus, using a service once or twice will never give you a clear picture of what a TE can do. Its kinda like taking a vitamin once or twice. It's really a long term solution. Another thing to consider is your ad. Is it something that's been recycled a thousand times? Affiliate cookie-cutter pages don't normally do well. However, original and unique pages w/ your name and picture are far more noticeable and appealing.  Hope this helps. :)
