Traffic exchange

Traffic exchange systems are systems which serve to publicize websites. Basically, they function somewhat like mail exchanger.

Functions

Traffic exchange systems are mostly used for free for websites to advertise and make them so popular, but are also popular " tool " for players of a thief or beggar's game. You get points by looking at the websites of other members in a so-called " surf bar " look at and you can use the points to display its own pages other users in the surf bar. Some exchange systems also pay out money.

Species

There are automatic and manual traffic exchange systems. In both systems, the user is shown a so-called surf bar in the upper part of the Web browser. Which is a statistical area in which it is displayed, for example, the status of his account; often banners will be displayed there. In the lower part, one or more WebSite / n one of the other participants will be displayed.

  • In manual systems the users / surfers (often 15, 20, or 30 seconds, depending on the provider ) must be for a fixed predetermined time a link or button, so that the next WebSite it is displayed. This requires that the user sitting in front of the PC, and if so maybe not always wanted, but then forced to see one or the other side.
  • For automatic traffic exchange systems, the user has to click anything. After the predetermined time, the next site is automatically displayed. This automatic system enticed for hours (often at night) to let the Surfbar run unattended. After all you get with any website that is displayed ( but you do not necessarily even have to look at ) a point that can be traded for its own advertising.

The obvious disadvantage of automatic visitor exchanger is that the other user pages view only rarely. So the odds: ' WebSite displayed ' - to - ' WebSite from a real user also seen ' much less than with manual systems. This disadvantage however, applies to all participants equally. Modern visitors exchangers have solved the problem in that all of 20-90 minutes must be an acknowledgment. This prevents the surf bar can pass through unseen overnight.

From ' marketing experts ' be dismissed generally as a ' gimmick ' or as an ineffective instrument which merely provides for increased traffic, but not for real visitors traffic exchange system. In traffic exchange users, however, although the manual systems are considered as an acceptable variant, as this but one or the other visitors stuck on the advertised site; however, the automatic traffic exchange systems are considered as ' ineffective ', due to the above-mentioned disadvantage, but which was now fixed at the big party. Some smaller providers have now installed both versions, manual and automatic Surfbar. Thus, it is the users will be able to get traffic or real visitors in only one system.

In some larger systems such as " eBesucher " has become a solid, established virtual currency instead of points that can be exchanged against other currencies. Thus, it is possible to earn indirectly by eBesucher and similar systems. The function of the points transfers to other users, to offer smaller systems, you can apply for smaller services, etc. can pay with the currency. Through the external interfaces of the larger sides, the points can be transferred to other sites and convert them into so-called exchange offices.

The systems

There are some well known scripts at different prices:

  • The Besuta Script - A simple, something faulty script with many addons that need to be purchased separately, however. It is well suited to it or even tinkering to make it better by a programmer.
  • The traffic exchange script 1.5 of own - Firma.de - a rarely -used script as it is, by design, somewhat flawed.
  • The Beex traffic exchange script - An expensive but very common script that is used by several hundred pages. It seems impersonal and seems difficult to grasp for newcomers.
  • Another application is the Powerful Exchange System, which combines the functions of the traffic exchange system with the exchange of various social media services.

Other Scripts are often auctioned off a euro on ebay and are considered inferior in quality.
