Before I get into analysing traffic exchanges, I'd like to say a few things:

• I am only speaking from my own experiences in marketing my Yuwie url. Others may have different approaches.
• I have tried and tested the traffic exchanges listed below and will continue to add as I test.
• I can't give you all the information and I may stand to be corrected on some of the finer points.
• All of the exchanges I have listed have a basic membership which is free, but can be upgraded.

IMPORTANT: Your Yuwie Splash page loads much faster than your referrals URL and should be used as your traffic exchange URL. Every member of Yuwie has their own personal Splash Page. Yours is http://yuwietip.com/i?i=YUWIEIDNUMBER. For example, mine is http://yuwietip.com/i?i=541641, check it out for yourself.

1. TRAFFICERA http://www.trafficera.com/ref=Asha

Surf bar - minimum 10 seconds- maximum 15 seconds

Time credits - depends on your membership, for instance a platinum  member has a surfbar multiplier of 1, which means that they earn the same number of credits to the number of seconds that they surf. You then assign your credits according to how fast you want your page to load.

Bonuses - You win extra credits as you surf- anything from 5 to 50 credits at a time.

Clocks - collect clocks as you surf and convert them to tokens which can be spent in the 'shop' to 'buy' extra credits.

Teams - team up with other members to increase your 'buying power'.

Site navigation - excellent

value - excellent

LINK REFERRAL http://linkreferral.com/adwel.pl?oldrefine=159348

This is quite different to most traffic exchanges. There is no surf bar.

You join a members directory which is visited daily by both the link referral community and outside visitors.

View and review other members websites to improve your ranking and get more hits.

The site is optimised for search engines and your page is linked with this.

Site navigation - excellent

Value - excellent

Note: There is a lot of competition for ranking in the business opportunities category of the directory. I have my profile url listed in the Social Category and I receive Yuwie page views from this on a daily basis.

As I mentioned earlier, I will continue to review the available traffic exchanges and update my blog on a regular basis.
