TrafficSwarm
In my quest to find inexpensive targeted traffic for a few of the sites I am working on I came across TrafficSwarm.
The premise behind TrafficSwarm is quite simple. You can sign up for free and earn credits just for loading the start page and visiting other TrafficSwarm promoted sites featured on this page. For each credit that you earn your site will be displayed in the TrafficSwarm network. To promote your site all you have to do is enter some basic information about the site(s) that you want to promote (e.g. Category, URL, Title, Description). This information is used to generate targeted links, which in turn should bring targeted visitors, to your site.
It comes as not surprise that there is also the optio to upgrade to a Pro account. Doing this will get you a lot more credits which in turn will promoted your site that much more. The cost for the pro upgrade is $30 a month.
Honestly, if it wasn’t free I probably would not have signed up. Sure, it can generate traffic to your site but if the people do like I did the traffic will do you no good. What happens when you click on a featured site on your start page it loads that page in a frame. It actually has a countdown in the top part of the page and you have to stay on that site for 20 seconds before you can click next to go back to the TrafficSwarm start page to click on another site.
All the sites that I visited were the classic sales page that most affiliate/internet marketers are so fond of. I can honestly say that I have never paid much attention to these types of sides. Typically I scroll down to the bottom to check the price and then navigate away from the page. So if most of the traffic swarm users do what I do the traffic you get is going to be of little value. The FAQ on the site says your link will be displayed in the TrafficSwarm network. I am not really sure what constitutes this network but I don’t expect much traffic from it.
With that said the service is free so you won’t be out anything to try it. Setting up an account is very easy and so is accumulating credits. If you are looking for new ways to generate traffic to your site I recommend you sign up and try it.
