Traffic
The Optimum Traffic Formula:
Safe List and Traffic Exchanges
There are three ways to consistently drive traffic to your websites, mini-sites and blogs; you can buy it (Google Ads, Pay Per Click, Traditional Paid Advertising, etc.), you can develop it organically (social media networking, e-zine marketing, article marketing, newsletter marketing, and blogging, etc.) or you can exchange time for traffic by joining online exchanges and participating in traffic communities by agreeing to view the ads and emails of other members in exchange for the community reading yours. This is a great way to get free traffic and build your list.
This is the same formula I use to drive traffic to my websites, blogs, lead capture pages (squeeze pages), sales letters, banner ads, hot links, solo ads and email messages delivered SPAM free and viewed by thousands of people every day for at the click of a mouse. Follow these seven simple steps and your message will be flooding the internet in a matter of days.
Note - Your “User Name” is the name that will appear in your affiliate link, so choose something other than your name, mine is “optimumwealth” as an example.
These sites are free and offer upgrade options to allow you to advertise more often and to more list members; I recommend sticking with the Free Account in the beginning until you have measured your results for each Safe List and Solo Ad account. The one exception is Ad Saturation noted in the listings to follow. Ad Saturation offers a low cost upgrade to a Gold Membership that will allow you to advertise to 103,040 members on autopilot for $14.50 per month.
You will be required to provide a valid email address where other list members can send their ads and messages for your review. This is a free exchange community and you are required to receive other member’s email messages. Be sure to setup free email accounts with Google (Yahoo is not as reliable for marketing email delivery) specifically to manage your traffic accounts. You will need two accounts, one for administration and one for receiving messages.
DO NOT USE YOUR PRIMARY or desk top based email account (Outlook and Others) for member’s email and Solo Ads. You will be receiving thousands of emails per week.
Be sure to set up your website links and banners as you sign up for each site. Also note your referral URL for each affiliate program so that you earn cash or ad credits when someone joins the community by following your affiliate link.
** If you would like my help writing your solo and email ads simply send a request to me at james@AskJamesHolmes.com and place “Copywriter Help” in the subject line.
Read the instructions for each list to understand how to earn the highest possible number of display credits for your ads and email messages.
You will need to sign up for a free account with Viral URL Link Cloaker, which is a web based link cloaking software that allows you to shorten your affiliate URLs along with all other URLs, and track clicks. Viral URL is the only link cloaking tool that I have used that truly goes viral by design. You actually earn advertising credits to be applied to your account allowing you to rotate your links within the Viral URL network. There are upgrades available with advanced features.
Please follow these steps carefully and completely and be sure to use an Excel workbook or physical notebook to track keep track of your user names and passwords for your accounts. Also, invest the time to cloak your affiliate (referral URL) for each account. This is the link that you will provide and promote to others to sign up for these services. By doing this you “Optimize” your efforts and earn credits for advertising and impressions in your advertising account.
CAUTION: Do Not Fall into a Time Trap or Money Pit by becoming addicted to all of the offers you are going to be exposed to, remember why you joined these services, to generate traffic and build your list. Carefully evaluate offers and sites that appeal to you, but be selective when making a purchase.

STEP THREE:
Set Up “Surfing Power Hour” Bookmarks
I am going to show you how to invest one hour per day surfing the Free Traffic Exchange sites listed in Step Two, which will allow you to earn points to display your websites, banners and text ads several times each day. **Please note that the “Terms of Service” which govern most traffic exchange websites prohibit “gaming the system,” which is not endorsed by this system.
Begin by downloading Mozilla Firefox Web Browser and open a new window. Now open the first five traffic websites using the “new tab” feature so that all five appear in the same window. Log in to each account and click the “begin surfing” or “Start surfing” link for each website, which will begin presenting member websites for you to view and earn points.
Next, you will want to SAVE this window by selecting “Bookmark All Tabs” option in the drop down menu under the Bookmarks menu option. Label this Bookmarked set of tabs “Surfing Power Hour 1.” Once saved close this window and open a new window; repeat the process with the remaining five tabs and save this new series of tabs “Surfing Power Hour 2.”
Massive amounts of traffic can be generated by surfing one hour EVERY DAY opening both bookmarked windows and simply rotating through the tabs in sequence. Start at first tab and click through each 1-5 returning to the first tab and repeating the process.
Points are awarded when the presenting websites appear on your browser for a prescribed period of time typically 10-20 seconds (this varies by traffic site guidelines). Once the website has been displayed for the prescribed period of time you are awarded points. You must take an action such as clicking on a specified color or matching a small icon located at the top or bottom of the search frame (this also varies by site). Once you take the required action your account is credited and those credits convert to exposures for you websites and links on the traffic system.
If you commit to surfing “actively” or “semi-passively” for one hour each day, your website, links and ads will gain thousands of impressions per every month. Keep in mind your hour can be broken up into several smaller time segments throughout the day.
This system works and it is free! Use this to drive traffic to your websites every day, measure your results and make adjustments as needed. Be sure to promote your affiliate links for each site so that you consistently earn bonus credits and in many cases affiliate commissions for referring others to your chosen traffic websites. This is a powerful system that will help you build your business.
