Traffic exchange websites combine the ideas of banner exchanges and paid to surf schemes. You spend your time surfing members websites and in return other members will be directed to your sites to surf. 
What’s best is that it’s all free and guarantees you at least some traffic, but is it worth your time?
One of the most popular and established traffic exchange networks is the named EasyHits4U which this article will be focusing on.
Creating a website and the content to go with it is probably the easiest part of running any website. When it comes to promoting it a lot of people struggle to find ways to attract visitors to their website despite high quality content. In this short article I will share some top tips to attract visitors and promote your website.
Most of the time when people talk about affiliate marketing they are describing a system where site A advertises products from Site B and gets paid each time someone makes a purchase after clicking a link on Site A. However this article is describing a slightly different scheme – basically link exchanges. Site A will link to Site B and Site B will link to site A. It may be because the two sites are friends, own related websites or simply want to recognise each other. Either way it’s an easy way to get some free promotion for both websites – a free linkback and plenty of hits.
When opening a new website perhaps the biggest hurdle to get over is getting the first 1,000 or so unique visitors. You could look into some paid promotion techniques such as text or banner advertisements but what if you’re stuck for cash? This article aims to introduce you to a number of ways to increase traffic to your website – and all for nothing! Be warned however, most of these ways will require a bit of work, time and effort. Before we begin I suggest that you already have your website fully ready and working – there is little use in promoting a website which is still being built.
Holidays aren’t just a time to celebrate and swap gifts – it’s the perfect time to go get some extra traffic to your website or forum by creating content geared for the holiday season.

This presents a great opportunity for webmasters, bloggers and forum admins to create on-topic content that will hopefully rank highly in the high-volume holiday searches.
