Traffic Exchanges vs Safelists: Which Free Traffic Source Fits You?

Traffic exchanges and safelists are the two classic free traffic sources for affiliate marketers. On our casino floor they're both coin machines. Here's how they differ.

Traffic exchanges

You view other members' websites for a few seconds each and earn credits. Credits send visitors to your site. Examples: EasyHits4U and TrafficAdBar.

  • Best for: quick exposure, testing headlines and pages.
  • Downside: visitors only stay a few seconds.

Safelists

You email an ad to other members who've agreed to get them. You earn credits by reading their ads. Examples: Herculist and ListJoe.

  • Best for: a bit more room to tell your story in a subject line and short message.
  • Downside: inboxes are busy, so subject lines matter.

How to use both

Pick one of each, use them a few minutes a day, and track every link so you can see what works. Send visitors to one page that shows all your offers, like your casino page, instead of a single offer.

Put your links on every machine and share one page.
