You can be forgiven for thinking that most Traffic Exchanges are pretty much the same, when in actual fact the competition that the industry generates sees constant innovation in the delivery and presentation of advertising methods.

A case in point is what I have to say is the most exciting innovation in the Traffic Exchange industry in years - Sweeva. Sweeva creates a whole new ball game with Traffic Exchange marketing, combining the potential of social networking with the advertising muscle of a Traffic Exchange run by industry leaders. Sweeva's concept is an extremely good one Instead of the same old same old I’ll view your site if you view mine, Sweeva encourages people to bid for a time slot for their site to be seen, this enables hundreds, if not, thousands of viewers to view your site simultaneously and to give you direct feedback on your site. Bidding takes the form of traffic credits. I’ve spent some time recently testing the system and the potential to network with other site owners is enormous. As you've probably realized, I do not spend a lot of time manually surfing, but I find the time spent at Sweeva to be addictive, fun and potentially rewarding. I noticed that many of the regular TE users were having trouble with the concept, but believe that this Social networking/exchange model is set to leave other TE models for dead. This is one site you must be a member of.

Most people have heard of Traffic Swarm, a text ad based Traffic Exchange that is hugely popular with Traffic Exchange Users.  The theory goes that people will only click on your ad if they're interested in it. However, I have found that Traffic Swarm's response rates, while being strong, are not all that different to other major traffic exchanges.

Where it has an advantage is that it simply has a massive user base and tends to get more "fresh" users than anywhere else. That's why I use it. Why I recommend it is that its compensation plan for affiliates is quite attractive. If you're serious about success, I suggest that you ad Traffic Swarm Pro membership to your portfolio as soon as possible and that means as soon as you can see worthwhile results coming from Traffic Exchanges.

Here are the benefits of Traffic Swarm Pro membership

Here are the monthly benefits of a Pro account, which begin the moment you upgrade:


1. 2,500 credits automatically added to your account.

2. You'll receive 200 credits for referring new members -- that's twice as many as Free members earn.

3. You'll get 10% more credits free with any credits purchased.

4. You'll earn a minimum of three Credits (two Bonus Pro Credits) on your first 20 Start Page clicks each day! Plus earn a minimum of two credits (1 Bonus credit) for each click after the initial 20 per day . This means that aside from any mystery bonuses, you will generally earn 3-7 for the first 20 clicks and 2-6 credits for each click after that as opposed to 1-5 credits for Free users. (That's an additional 1,500 credits compared to a Free user with only 30 clicks per day!)

5. You'll earn two credits for each load of your Start Page. Free Traffic Swarm users earn one credit for their first 30 Start Page loads each day. PRO users now earn twice that amount meaning you will earn an extra 900 credits every month, assuming a 30 day month.

6. You'll earn two Bonus Credits on Start Pages loads 31-50. That's another 1,200 credits each month over a Free user.


7. You'll earn 1 bonus credit each time one of your personally referred downline users (those on your 1st level) clicks on any of the links on their Start Page or in the Search Engine.

8. Your link(s) will be part of the "Featured Sites" rotation with other Pro users, and you will receive an equal share of the "Featured Sites" links displayed on their main web site. 1000s per month!

9. You'll earn recurring monthly commissions paid DAILY each time someone in your downline upgrades to Pro, or renews their upgrade. You can request a commission payment any time you are owed $30 or more. The monthly commissions you'll earn are as follows:

Level 1 - $5 Level 2 - $4 Level 3 - $3 Level 4 - $2 Level 5 - $1

10. You'll get priority listing status in Traffic Swarm Link Boxes across the web.

11. You'll be able to promote an unlimited number of URLs - not just 10.

12. Your URLs will receive priority review and approval status.

13. As a Pro user you'll also receive priority customer support.

14. Bonus Business Tools. You'll receive access to special bonuses at no extra charge to help you with all aspects of growing your online business. Simply login to your account and go to the section "Bonus!" at your Member's Page to see what is currently available. (Note: While there is a "Bonus!" section for Free users, you'll receive extra items not listed for Free accounts as a PRO user.)

It really is worth $30 per month!

VIRAL URL is another site that offers a variety of services and gives some unique advertising options.  Viral URL provides a link cloaking service that also provides a viral ad bar service, so your affiliate link is cloaked and the more times you display the viral URL cloaked link the more times your text ad is displayed across the Viral URL network.  Membership at viral URL also allows you to mail your downline and provides some fairly lucrative affiliate opportunities.  I highly recommend it.
