Okay, Let's start off with the Traffic Exchanges!
What is a Traffic Exchange? My definition is this: a place, site, or program designed to send Traffic to a specific website designed or promoted by you.

There are a lot more details and you can do the research yourself because there are volumes of information about the various aspects of TE's, but there are a few simple things to remember:
1. Buying credits at a TE depends on the particular TE. Find out how many members they have and if possible how many are online at any given time and MORE important is WHAT time of day are the most people online.
2. Bigger Exchanges have more users, but more pages in rotation, so making your page stand out from the crowd is VERY important on these sites.
3: Check the RATIO. How many sites do you have to view to get 1 credit. It varies from site to site.
Although a shorter timer is more preferred remember that people are only seeing your site for that short time.
Longer timer=longer exposure. hmm?!!!
4. how much can you get for free. Earn all the free credits you can. It's worth it in the long run.
5. Brand your self with a picture and more...you decide how much personal information you want to give out.
The key here is earning a good reputation and building peoples trust. Once you do that then you can move on to other things such as list building and other promotional things.
6. Read these blogs and I can never say it enough..
DO THE RESEARCH BEFORE INVESTING INTO ANYTHING!!!!
You wouldn't buy stocks without knowing something about the particular stock, so buying into a TE is no different!
7: Start your own program or TE.
Good luck with all your efforts and let me know if you need anything!

This is absolutely wonderful advice. Branding is absolutely essential for using traffic exchanges. You may want to suggest using splash pages and explaining how to use them to your readers but this is a wonderful article none the less.
