Some people believe that hit exchanges are not good for bringing in free traffic. However I will disagree completely. In my own experiences I have had excellent results while using hit exchanges. The key is to use them correctly.
There are some assumptions you have to make when using hit exchanges, one that the people who will see your ad on the hit exchanges will be surfing only to earn credits towards the advertising of their own site. Number two the people will not read your long drawn out ad, there isn't enough time, or interest.
If you are going to earn business from people surfing the web using a hit exchange, 2 things will have to happen to be successful, using this method of advertising.
1.) You must have an offer that attracts the viewers attention!
2.) The web page must be built for speed!
Starting with number 1. Most people find it hard to turn down a good offer. Try to offer something that has people interested, in hearing more like, Find out how you can get my product x; at an extremely low, low price. That seems to attract attention quite well. Giving something away for free is another great way to get people fired up about what you have to say.
Number 2 your web page needs to be built for speed. The thing to remember with hit exchanges, you only have about 20 to 30 seconds of exposure time to grab your viewers attention. So make the page short, and to the point. Lastly, I recommend that you put a picture on the page, a picture is worth 1000 words.(This will help you to keep it short)
Here is an example of a web page that I have built for speed. I have generated many on-line sales using this method of advertising.
You may have to adjust the wording, if you find that you are not getting the results you are looking for. This kind of web page works well, once you have everything right. From there things move into auto pilot!
Notice in my example the picture of the e-book. When I first had built the page I did not include the picture, after adding it my results were 100 times better. Also if you take note of the form on the page. When the viewer submits the information to the auto-responder, the auto-responder sends the E-book to the person's email automatically.
There is still one more step to take. This step is my favorite, it can earn you a ton of extra traffic, so if you are interested pay attention to this. You already know that your new prospect uses hit exchanges! This gives you a golden opportunity to earn credits by referring them to other traffic exchange services. All traffic exchanges that I have ever used, provided me with extra credits, and even money for referring them to new clients. Although it should be Obvious, you need to send your affiliate links to your prospects to earn credits, and this step can be done using your auto-responder!
