Default Viral Traffic Sites

Anyone have an opinion on virul traffic sites? OR traffic exchange programs?
I was looking at EasyHits4U and they have a high Alexa ranking. Plus there are several others, is this worth the 30 min a day investment?

Thank you

LOL Ok then I'm glad I asked.

I guess I figured they would be useful for hits and hence SEO rank optimization, not actual quality conversion traffic...NO???

You can't use that type of traffic with adsense and it doesn't convert on affiliate offers.

I dont' really see what SEO benefit it could possibly have unless you get some links from it.

In my understanding natural listing ranks can be enhanced by traffic counts, NO?

I mean the visitors may not be good for ROI, but for the mere visit count?

Not to my knowledge.

Anyway, a bit of social marketing would beat the hell out of traffic exchanges in terms of the amount of traffic that can be delievered.

I hear you, I've been doing that a lot so I guess I'm doing something right.

Thanks a lot for your input.

No probs.

Always good to ask about this stuff - I spent a lot of time wasting time on stuff like that back when I was trying to figure out how this whole game works.

Default I hear you

Yes I hear you, I have been asking a lot of questions for that very reason, because I am so IN IT buried deep just trying to figure out what to do next that I DON'T want to waste time on BS.

The strange thing about this biz is that you learn everything on the fly, there is SO MUCH to grasp that it's like a masters degree education, but without the classroom. Very strange... I work at it for hours every day, I've slept like 10 hours in the past week and I wonder is any of this treacherous work doing anything to put me toward my goals, and then a light bulb goes off and something clicks or I ask the right question and whole dilemma gets solved....very strange the whole process.

Have you had success? Has your hard work paid off?
I think I need to hear that right now, I just finished building 3 lenses, 2 hub pages and writing 4 articles...WHY WHY WHY??? All with DIFFERENT --- KW

I am not on the level of a lot of affiliates, but yes, it is a full-time gig for me.

Oh, and it BEATS THE SNOT out of going to the office every day.

I went to New Zealand for two weeks recently and my earnings didn't go down at all. (In fact they were up on average).

THAT's freedom.

And that's what I am trying to create for myself.

I am actually considering a move to a some cheap paradise so I can work on my sites and not have extortionate living expense (I live in one of the top 5 most expensive cities in the world). Currently looking into Indonesia which is beautiful and pretty cheap too.



So yes, it is possible to get success and it is very possible to get away from the rat race.
