What are your views on Traffic Swarm? I have used it a few times, but find that I have to click repeatedly on endless urls to start earning sufficient credits.

Hello Truegho

TrafficSwarm can be a good resource if it's worked properly. To get the most out of it, there are several things that need to be done. The first is to upgrade to PRO so you get 2500 credits per month. Then about every 2 months, they offer either a 2-for-1 sale or 50% more sale. I usually get in on those.

Your ads need to be enticing while filled with keywords geared toward your offer. If you run 500-800 ads per day, you should see good responses.

By using those methods, about 80% or more of my leads come from TrafficSwarm. They're good leads too - people from all walks of life click the ads. I'm talking about everything from homemakers to office managers looking for a change. Even some of the "high profile" marketers use TrafficSwarm, even though some of them say that it's "for beginners".

I wrote an article on the subject, which goes into more detail. You can see it at www.websitemanagers.net/blog

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply re. Traffic Swarm. I was really interested in everything you had to say, and I shall certainly be looking into these options. They sound really great in relation to boosting traffic!

My problem at the moment is that I have two sites - a dating site and a true ghost stories site - and I am torn between which to concentrate mostly on as regards promoting them via Traffic Swarm. The ghost site has been very disappointing one, as although I am attracting around 160 new visitors per day, the Amazon ghost books and dvds just aren't selling. Very frustrating.

I may therefore concentrate on promoting my dating site, as at least my membership base is gradually building up there.

Thanks again for the advice.
Kind regards,
Truegho

Hi there. I have tried the free version where you have to click on so many sites to get credits. I get very few hits for the site I tried it for. Also, when you think about it, many of the people visiting your site will just be people clicking to get credits, so I don't think it's really traffic worth having.

I've been using for a year or more. In my traffic stats it ranks #3 or 4 for site visitors.

While I often see comments that Traffic Swarm is good for generating leads, I wonder if any one using it can supply conversion figures for that traffic.

One marketer I know claims his leads from there are next to worthless when it comes to spending money. Another says the only thing it is good for is an optin page.

I don't use Traffic Swarm, so am asking this question of those who do. Any answers? Facts and figures please, not opinions.

Regards,

Lowell

I use the free service. I wouldn't pay for it. Those guys are most likely correct. A good old fashion press release will get much more exposure.

Use to use it at the libary because every time I used it on my home computer I had problems soon after.

I use to like the search feacher it had.

I joined 70+ traffic exchanges last year.

So far I've only surfed 4 of them this year. And one of the 4 isn't that great. Just had a ton of credits on it and didn't want to lose them.

Link Referal is my favorite of the 70+ that I joined because people will actually review your website.
