So you want to start your own traffic exchange business? Traffic exchanges actually predate pay per click advertising models such as Google Ad Words and Yahoo Search Marketing as ways for websites to generate traffic. Basically, members of traffic exchanges view other members sites in exchange for credits. Usually, if you view two sites you get one credit for your website. This will translate to 1 view of your site by another member.
If you are a traffic exchange owner you get the extra credits. Remember, members have to view two sites to get one credit. The traffic exchange owner gets the extra credits which he can sell to the other members
for cash.
Also, if your traffic exchange script permits, you can offer recurring pro memberships which guarantee members a certain amount of credits each month regardless how much they actually surf themselves.
This whole process is rather complex and you will need a top notch traffic exchange script to manage all the transactions.
I would suggest avoiding all free scripts. Operating a traffic exchange script is complex. Some people will try to cheat the system and you need a script with built in anti-cheat systems.
You need to choose a script which has been around several years with many different licenses. This way many of the bugs of the script will have been already worked out. You want to have the most reliable script possible. The last thing you want is to be constantly dealing with customer support questions about script errors. Go for quality! It will save you time and money.
One of the more popular scripts is the Walker Traffic Exchange script. We purchased this script along with the source code. Of all the scripts we reviewed it seemed to have the most features and a long track record.
Included in our purchase was full pro installation. Unfortunately the Walker Traffic Exchange script by Ventrino was full of database errors and glitches. The only support available was forum support not email support. The Walker Traffic Exchange forum members were unable to solve the problems and no members of the Walker staff tried to help. When we complained we were banned from the site and they kept our money.
It is important to have a good relationship with your programmer because there will be updates to the script, modifications and you need a reliable technical partner. So even if a script seems to be good check out the support. One question to ask is:
“Do you offer email support after the sale?”
Another popular script is the Trafficdx script. This is run by programmer Ricky Greer and, as of writing this article, has over 635 licenses outstanding.
We purchased the Trafficdx script after corresponding with Ricky on several issues. His answers were always detailed and prompt. We did the installation ourselves with the easy to follow instructions. It worked the first time without any glitches. They also have an excellent forum where members can exchange ideas about the script. So far our experience has been very positive with Trafficdx.
Another script to look at is the LJ scripts. They have all different types of traffic exchanges. Auto surf, manual surf, and start page exchanges. Prices range from $20. to over $200. Again, I would always go for the most advanced quality script. You need quality. Many programmers seem to like their work.
Overall, our advice is to think long term when you create a traffic exchange business. This is a business where you can make money with for years to come and where you can offer a valuable service to your members. Always, think what will give the members a better experience and you should be on the right track.

is there only few TX script available on net? becoz every time i search for TX script i found only few websites in search result.
i m looking a TX script which should have country target with 24 unique HIT feature i think without these essantial feature TX script is not complete.
there r too much competetion in TX exchange business. wel known stablished TX sites r offering every thing what there customer need to promote their business/website(s).
so i think if n e one start TX site with less feature then other TX site then i think it will be just wastage of our time & money . person can’t be success in his/her TX business.
traffic DX has many good feature incliding country targeted traffic But 24 hour unique feature is not available in their script.
i send a mail to Admin of traffic DX reg. this feature but i didn’t get satisfactoty answer from them.
i hope they r professional people and they will reply and provide solution to customer what he/she wants.
Traffic Exchange Systems are the most popular way on the internet to generate free web site traffic. These systems are often referred to as Auto Surf, Manual Surf, Paid Surf, or Paid to Click sites. While offering a valuable resource that provides free web site traffic for all your members, you also gain a lot of extra traffic to use for your own sites too…
Properly managed traffic exchanges are known to experience “high growth rates”. New members provide additional income from upgraded accounts and advertising revenue! But, new Members also want to build their own down lines to receive more free traffic, so they will “help” your new system grow much faster by promoting their own referral links!
Can you imagine yourself being “the owner” of a system delivering thousands of visitors each month for your members… not to mention your own sites too? It’s really not hard to do… and believe it or not… you really don’t have to be a so-called “Guru”. In fact, you can do this right now “all by yourself” without any programmers or huge monthly expenses! So if your ready to take that final step to be your own BOSS and run your very own Traffic Exchange (TE), Then check out the options we offer to make it happen! We have a plan to fit anyone’s Budget!

I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for great information I was looking for this information for my mission.
What is a traffic exchange but not how to start a TE ( traffic Exchange business ) It looks more than a Ventrino advertise rather than the mechanics or how it works and how you can make money. there are tons of tips and tricks. Certainly a Ventrino is one of the best TE brands but you must be ready to invest a lot of money in all the features that they sell. So when you buy a Ventrino skeleton you only buy just a text basis TE and you need all the graphics to promote, to provide auto response, to check sites and etc.
I have doing a research on TE and there are available free scrips and pretty good scripts for less than $50.00 but the best the more efficient will cost from $94 to certainly over $5,000.
But in addition you will need to invest in a pretty good and reliable host you can start with a shared host, but not for long then you will need to move to rent your won host that will cost over $60.00 a month.
My research provide me information that there is around to five Manual TE scripts pretty good alternatives. But an autosurf you can get it basic a basic set of graphics just for less than $50.00.
But the real thing is that you will need at loot of efforts and time just to get your first 5,000 users
then you must get some paid user´s ( that is actually the hard task).
Again the Ventrino it is a pretty good software but to my concern there are more efficient and reliable
One final word be aware that there also guys who are real “scammers” who can sell you stolen scripts like The Cobra and places like Scottdale hosting (they provide you a cheap stolen script) for pennies
If you read the post I really tear apart Ventrino. They have terrible customer service. The one most of the top exchanges seem to be using is L.J. scripts. Thanks for the comment Milton.
I agree with you, that Ventrino it is a pretty good script but with all the add ons you will need
a lot of money.
You mentio that there are good alternatives but you forget to mention your list. I think that it is also interesting to know which host servers are the best considering the cost effective point
Thanks
I found the support terrible with Ventrino. As for hosting VPS servers are good. Liquidweb and wiredtree and some of my favorites.
