How To Set Up a Traffic Exchange Account

Today we will discuss the nuts and bolts of setting up your account at a traffic exchange.

Setting up your account basically involves adding your web site, banner ad, and
(if applicable) text link. Look to the member navigation menu for a link that
reads 'My Websites', 'Add Sites', 'URL Manager', or something along these lines.

This link will take you to the page where you may enter your Target URL(s). A
Target URL is the website address you wish to drive traffic to.

Just enter a title for your site, along with the URL, and submit this
information. Some exchanges will also ask you for a brief description or give
you the opportunity to select an appropriate category for your site to be
rotated through.

Your site must not be a frame breaker, (a site with code that "breaks out" of
the surf bar) as this type of site will disrupt the process of generating
traffic for other members of the exchange. In some cases, you will be required
to click a 'test' button that checks your site for frame-breaking code before it
is accepted into the system. Alternatively, the site admin may check each URL
manually before
approving them.

Also, each exchange is likely to have its own set of rules regarding the types
of sites that are allowed. For example, some exchanges do not allow the use of
rotators.
Other programs have banned paid-to-promote type sites and apparent ponzi schemes
from rotation. Be sure to read the terms and regulations of each exchange before
submitting your target URL(s).

The procedure for adding banner ads and text links is pretty much the same as
that for adding your target URLs. Just find the appropriate menu link and insert
the correct information into the submission form to enter your banner and text
ads into the member rotation.

There is sometimes confusion in getting your banners set up properly. First you
must have an image of the banner hosted somewhere on the internet. Usually, the
program that you are promoting will give you an image url or tell you that you
need
to copy the image and upload it to your own hosting account.

Either way there will be two urls to be added when entering a banner. One will
usually say" target url". The "target url" is the page you want a person to see
when they click on the banner (the page you are promoting). The other will
usually say "image url".
That is the location on the internet where your image file is hosted. The final
thing that some exchanges will have when entering a banner is an "alt text:"
box. Alt text is what someone will see if for some reason the banner is not
available because of
some sort of server glitch. (Yes even the best hosts sometimes have glitches).
This will also show whenever some one mouses over the image.

Well we could talk about all this forever but I suggest that you visit my blog. I have a whole series on
traffic exchanges. Please stop by... I will be glad you paid a visit and I think you will be too.

See ya then... !!!
