Can A Free Blog Traffic Exchange Really Bring More Visitors?

by Monika Mundell

A free blog traffic exchange is made possible by two bloggers joining a service that promises them more traffic. These exchanges are made via various forms of free trade which we will cover in this article. Despite the popular belief that these free blog traffic exchanges hardly work, some blog owners claim that they do.

One thing we know is that the weblog (blog) market is huge and will not slow down quickly. In fact some say that many online businesses will enter the blog market at some stage in their lives and a free blog traffic exchange can act as a traffic converter for these new blog owners.

Blog traffic exchanges can be made possible by using widgets like the ill-famed Blogrush, alternatively there are blog traffic exchange sites that trade your time spent surfing the web and playing games to send you blog traffic instead.

Whether these kinds of exchanges serve a bloggers interest is left to discover by blog owners who are game enough to give this a try. It all sounds good on paper (ahem..on a blog posts) but in reality these traffic exchanges hardly work for most bloggers.

The reason being is that most bloggers simply don’t have the leverage of a huge blog network to make these free blog traffic exchanges work for them. For this to work, a blogger needs to have an established blog (network) to gain the most possible amount of traffic in return for little time spent. Most blog owners often invest many hours of their precious time into these free blog traffic exchange sites to find out that they simply wasted their time for nothing.

We all want more traffic for our blog and the thought of exchanging free traffic is tempting. I’m not stopping anybody to try a free blog traffic exchange tool or site to see whether they can trade some free traffic to gain more visitors, but I do warn you that most likely you will not achieve what you set out to do.

hi Monika,

Have you tried those full fledged traffic exchanges like StartXChange and TrafficSwarm?

Cheers.

@ IWST: yes I have, years ago and after tireless clicking to gain more credits for weeks on end I felt it wasn’t worth my time to be honest. That was with Traffic Swarm.

I’ve been trying out several free blog traffic exchanges over the last few weeks. You can check out my results here: http://blog.ffff.ca/2008/08/01/blog-traffic-exchanges/

I think the services can be valuable to bloggers just starting… but yeah, finding a site that actually delivers on its promises is hard!
