In Need Traffic? Pay for it! we discussed methods of driving traffic that required money, but there are some great free options available to webmasters. For the new webmaster who have limited start up capital or for the frugal webmaster, these options will not cost you a dime. There are many traffic exchanges on the net. A quick search on Google for the search traffic exchange term will generate many results. Some of the good ones that I know delivers are Traffic Swarm and Autohits247. Traffic exchanges like this take less than 5 minutes to sign up and set up your site.

The exchanges operate on the premise that you view a certain number of other member sites so that they can view yours in return. By so doing you benefit by getting regular traffic to your site. The only drawback is that increased traffic may not necessarily lead to increased sales as visitors are not necessarily qualified prospects. This method is very good for driving traffic but not sales. But remember that increased traffic may lead to better traffic ranking in the search engines, which will in turn lead to improved qualified visitors and hits fro the search engines. Some traffic sites allow you up to 1000 visitors per day. Some sites deal in hits instead of visitors and offer credits for viewing. Whichever site you choose, you probably cannot lose.
