Can I ask which 3?

Right now I'd probably say TrafficG, Hungry For Hits and Trend Trax Pro

There's also Social Media... I've promoted this program via Twitter, for example, as it has its own lead capture and follow-up system which does all the selling for you. Facebook, Pinterest, etc. are also ideal.

I agree, but I think it's also important to have an element of automation. The social media platform I mainly use is Twitter, and although I think personal interaction is important, like any other aspect of marketing automation makes things easier. I use paper.li to automatically post curated content several times a day, content it would take me hours and hours of continuously trawling blogs around the internet to put together. I also use a really useful tool called Crowdfire to manage my following and, again, to curate and post useful articles and graphics. These two tools fill out my Twitter with valuable content throughout the day, even on days when I'm too busy to tweet, and save me time when it comes to following and unfollowing relevant people. I can then concentrate on other specific tweets and personal conversations.

It varies. On days where I'm busier with other stuff I'll usually surf 3-5 TEs... When I'm really going for it I'll surf 12 simultaneously. Generally speaking I have a core of top TEs that I keep my credits topped up in at all times, so they're always generating a flow of traffic. These are the one's that I've found are worth upgrading at, the one's that generate a lot of unique visits fast. Then I'll try to surf one or two one top of that each day that I know to be worthwhile. These might not generate such a torrent of traffic, but they keep up a steady flow in the background and widen my reach. Finally, I like to try one or two new TEs in the hope of finding new 'Top Performers' or revisit those I haven't tried in a while to keep abreast of which one's are performing best.

This is like no other traffic exchange I've seen before... Carl Bailey has cut out all of the fluff, the distractions and the complications and created a unique traffic exchange focused entirely on enabling dedicated, serious surfers to get fantastic results. His goal? - Script a truly "lean" program... - Replace the "usual" with the practical... - Refocus membership on the essence - Guarantee that our traffic is "human with eyes and a brain"... - Guarantee that Free members receive more for their time and effort... - Guarantee that Pro members receive even more for their sizable investment... The Only Problem Is... Lack of active members. After joining and being initially very excited about the potential of such a radically different modus operandi, this excitement quickly turned to disappointment. After earning my first 100 credits I sat with eager anticipation to see how quickly the visits to my site came rolling in... and I waited... and I waited... then I went to bed... and the next morning I've had a stunning ONE visitor! Seriously, I'd LOVE to see this TE suddenly take off and be a huge success but in the meantime, don't rush to upgrade...! VISIT SITE

I joined this ages ago and had some great results... then for some reason I didn't do anything with it for a long time. It was still generating leads for me, but I've recently started promoting it again and it really is one of the best list-building tools I've ever used!

Could anyone who is familiar with the CoinPayments site please explain to me how to use their CPS coin? It seems you get 100 of them for joining the site, which it tells me is currently worth $11.82 but I cannot work out what I'm supposed to do with them! Can I convert them into Bitcoin, for example? Do I have to spend them on the site and, if so, how do I do that? None of the listings in the store directory accept CPS coin and I'm stumped as to what they're for...

My last solo ad here had a 13% click-through rate

Believe it or not, in terms of number of subscribers generated through my squeeze page, Herculist is actually my TOP performer over the past 7 days!

Maybe it's just me being dumb, but I've had issues finding where to add my commission payment details on Your Viral Network sites. I was very drawn to Your Viral List but didn't promote it due to this issue. I've emailed Admin twice and received no response. Maybe someone who's actually received commission payments from one of these sites can shed some light on this...?

This is one of my Top 5 Traffic Sources at the moment - definitely worth joining.

For some reason I've never really used Firefox... Why do you prefer it?

So Chrome Now Blocks Auto-playing Videos With Sound! I can see an argument for it but it seems like a dumb move to me. I actually don't use Chrome much anymore... I much prefer Edge. What about everyone else's preference? Chrome, Edge or what?

I just came across the above question from way back in 2016... Thankfully, there are still plenty of TEs using PayPal. In fact, I think ALL my favourite and best-performing TEs are still PP friendly

This has consistently been one of the top-performing traffic exchanges for me for a long time...

I think how effective banners are is very dependent upon where they are placed. If I'm surfing a dozen traffic exchanges at once I can guarantee I'm missing the vast majority of the banner ads... but when I'm on this forum, for example, it's a completely different matter! It's all about placement.

FAFY is giving me great results at the moment from their solo ads. I definitely recommend this site.

Well, for example, right now I'm mainly promoting a simple squeeze page appealing to IMers looking for more traffic - I'm promoting this via TEs, viral mailers, free ad sites, etc. because that is where the people are at who are interested in what I'm offering. But on Twitter, where a lot of my followers are in the motivation/inspiration/personal development niche as well as MLM and social marketing, I take a different approach - I post regular videos which I think will interest my followers, and link from there to a slightly different offer. It's all about targeting.

Tracking might seem time consuming but it's time 'well' consumed as opposed to time wasted by clicking your fingers sore at useless sites. Some of the 'fastest' TEs - i.e. those which produce the most hits quickly - are mostly just the same few people surfing round and round the same sites! You might initially get one or two conversions from such a site but it's not likely to work long-term for you. Personally, I use Leadsleap's 'Real Tracker' to analyse my traffic and see which sites are generating the most unique visits and the most conversions. The results are often surprising!

To be honest, I hadn't used this TE in months - I've just surfed it again after I saw your question and it looks as though there's only a handful of people using it.

No, unfortunately, there's no geotargetting. There has been a change in the timer - it has gone from 4 seconds to 3 seconds which I feel is a little too fast. You can probably benefit from it if you have a REALLY eyecatching splash or squeeze page to stop people in their tracks.

There are all kinds of different sources of free traffic and you should choose according to what you're promoting. If you're promoting a traffic exchange, for example, then traffic exchanges are probably going to be your best source of traffic as you're then targeting a very specific audience most likely to be interested in your offer. If you're selling a service for bricks-and-mortar businesses then traffic exchanges are probably going to be a completely useless source of traffic for you and you will probably be better using Twitter or LinkedIn. There is no one tool which is best for every job.

I use both, but usually I promote different links/offers/squeeze pages via Twitter to what I'm promoting via traffic exchanges, for example. It's a different audience with different needs and must be targeted accordingly. Basically, it depends on what you are promoting - you need to ask yourself where the best audience is for your product.

Well, I hate to say it, but I feel kind of vindicated. I never liked Payza and even after the PayPal Purge there were still enough good sites using PayPal that I just focused on them. I really do feel for all you guys who've possibly lost money with Payza, but I would strongly question the wisdom of jumping straight into another payment processor like STP... There's a reason PayPal are the biggest and most trusted...
