I find that all of them work quite well. However, I like the feature on
www.trueviewtraffic.com that has it so you can set questions for your site viewers to see if they have been paying attention. It's great because it makes them have to look at your site closely.
No I have not had time to sit down to calculate my sales ratio: however, judging by the amount of sales, it's doing pretty good for me. Here are some tips that I find helpful when using traffic exchanges.
1. On most of these exchanges, you will be asked to write a title and short description for your website. Write it very well as to make your audience want to click. Use strong emotional words such as New Free Power Secret Romance Money Love Breakthru Revealed Magic Fear Win Prize Reward.
2. Make sure you list your site in the most relevant categories. This brings better results because the people viewing your site are already interested in something in that category in which it was set.
3. Try surfing for credits before you invest to see how you like it. And, you don't have to upgrade because you can still purchase credits at affordable rates as a free member. I have not upgraded at all for any of them. There are benefits such as commission for referrals or more links: but, I am fine where I am.
4. Have your home page set to grab your audience attention. That is the first thing people see, and it will determine whether or not they will continue looking at what you are offering.
I am going to experiment with some split testing using lead capture/squeeze pages so I can track my sales ratio in the future. I will have to use that with a dummy site since i have my other sites being advertised through many other methods. I guess I could figure out how to use trackthatad.com which I hear is pretty good: plus, I have an account with them. It's just that i need to find the time in my busy life--reading, learning, advertising, marketing, web designing, and campaigning--to sit down and learn all the things I need to. I will definitely let you all know what the ratio is once I get things under control.
But, you may ask me how I really know these traffic exchanges are working. Well, because some of my customers tell me that is where they have found out about my site. So, I do know it is working well, I just don't have an exact conversion rate at this time due to the fact that i have not tallied all of my sales from the sites. It's just after so many sales, things have become a blur for me. However, when I actually take the time to do this, I'll keep you posted on what happens.
