How to prepare a site for promotion on a traffic exchange
First off, you must realize that promoting on traffic exchanges is not a way to get people to read long pages full of text and images. When you promote a page on TEs, you actually want them to see a snapshot into the world you are trying to present. Here are some tips and tricks for making the best out of promoting your business/opportunity on TEs:
- Make sure your content for the link you are sharing is short, really short. It should inspire people to fall in love with it within a few seconds and take action by interacting with your CTA.
- Make sure your page is not being tracked by Google or other search engines. You don't want Google to think that people are constantly leaving your page after a few seconds. This will avoid higher bounce rates for your whole website. Read more on this in another knowledgebase article we have.
- Make sure your CTAs (call-to-action) open in a new window/tab. This is important because you don't want people to feel you interrupted their surfing.
- Make sure your website doesn't redirect. URL shorteners usually redirect your site once or twice before the user actually reaches the page you intended. This might be invisible to a regular user, but it's happening and it will prevent your website from being rotated for others to see.
