A manual traffic exchange is a way of exchanging credits that you earn by surfing and viewing other websites, and then these credits can used to display your website or business opportunity to others. In addition to earning credits (pageviews) from surfing you can purchase additional credits, or buy a premium membership which will typically add credits to your balance each month. Also with a premium membership you will often get an improved surfing ratio. Many traffic exchanges also offer the ability to make money when other members upgrade or purchase advertising. Most manual traffic exchanges offer multiple ways to promote your website include page views, banner advertising, and emailing their memberships. This is a great way to get started with your internet marketing efforts.
Surfing ratios are usually expressed as 2:1 - meaning for every 2 sites you surf you get 1 credit in return, or 1:1 - for every 1 site you surf you get 1 credit in return.
