    None here yet. I get a few hits here and there, but its been 2 years. I use other methods to get traffic. Even as a paid member, I still received very little traffic from exchange sites.

    Traffic quality is quite low so I keep away from them.

    I have given them a try in the past but its a very low conversion rate. But it really depends on the site. because some people actully do go through and click on the traffic exchanges websites so they will see your website. So you have to figure out what type pf people would be spending time on a traffic exchange trying to earn free credit.

    the answer to that usually is people who have little experience and don't know how to market a business so a good think to market on traffic exchanges might be a how to market any type of business site or free ways of marketing free traffic sources advice blogs on ways to increase traffic

    then you might have more success but if your marketing another business opportunity to them really low chances

    I found them a waste of time.
    The traffic, when it seldom arrives, is so untargeted, it's usually from freebie-seekers or other people clicking around to try to increase their Traffic Exchange credits.

    Think about the people who are clicking on the traffic exchanges - are they likely to buy what you are offering? It's usually a huge 'NO!!!'

    The best traffic is going to come from visitors that WANT to visit your website, not people who are just visiting in order to get return traffic.

    Quality, not quantity!

    I have tried out some of the link exchanges and I am amazed at the poor content websites out there. Maybe I am picky but I only want to link to quality sites, not unmanned link farms.

    I have given it a try, but have since given up on them due to the cost exceeding the benefits.

    Most are worthless! Concentrate on QUALITY TRAFFIC and leave the bottom feeders alone. :)

    I think TE is really good for Alexa/Google/Yahoo ranking but not for making sales or creating income....although there could be some exemptions to this general rule.

    Unless you're looking to pad your stats, traffic exchanges are a bad idea. Nice way to run up your bandwidth bill, but not much good for anything else.
