One of the great ways to build referals in other traffic exchanges and programs is through the use of downline builders. A downline builder really advertises multiple programs and as people signup with the downline builder they are placed under you in all the programs they join. The great thing about downline builders is that you can focus on promoting the downline builder and watch your referals grow.
I recently joined a downline builder called Vital Viral, which was a very good decision. In the first 2 months of promoting Vital Viral I signed up 60 direct referrals and have 281 in my downline. The way Vital Viral works is that you enter your userids for the various programs, and join those that you are not already a member. Most of these programs that you join are traffic exchanges, but there are others like YourLuckyList, ListJoe, InstantBuzz, etc. that fit in the non traffic exchange category. The whole idea is to use at least 50% of your marketing to promote the Vital Viral downline builder. I personally think it is worth it because what you are doing is adding to your marketing capacity before trying to promote your money making opportunities.
One caution about downline builders is that like many other programs, people sign up but don't do anything. My experience is that about 1 in 25 actually sign up for the programs in the downline builder and promote it, which is of course the reason you are involved in the first place. With that said the potential is still very good for building your downlines and developing traffic for your websites.
While there are many good downline builders out there I personally recommend Vital Viral for a number of reasons. They came out with a Pro membership recently that is very reasonable and provides lots of good statistics for tracking what promotional methods are working the best, and they have something called a campaign manager that allows you to create custom pages and campaigns for promoting the Vital Viral downline builder.
