Traffic Swarm is a FREE ad network that is something of a traffic exchange, but more. After you register, you can set as many as 10 different ads for your website to rotate throughout their network.  Your ad WILL get clicked on and the best part is that when another network member clicks on your site, they MUST be on your site for at least 20 seconds in order to receive credit for the click. 20 seconds is at least enough time for a visitor to determine whether or not they want to continue looking at your site.  Otherwise, they’re free to continue surfing other sites. There are several ways to earn traffic credits:

• You Can Set Your Browser Start Page  - This is convenient and easy.  Every time you open your Internet browser, you earn a credit and your ad will be added to the rotation.

• Surf for Credits - This is also very easy, but requires some dedicated time.  The more time you dedicate, the more credits you’ll receive.  The idea is to go to the Traffic Swarm browser page and click on any of the ads that are displayed there. Each ad that you click on, and stay for at least 20 seconds, will earn you credits (anywhere from 1-5 credits for each click) for your ad to be shown and clicked on by other users.  You can, and will, earn more credits this way than you actually click on yourself.  I’ve done this while watching the evening news or LOST or whatever.  Sometimes, I’ve actually come across something quite useful in my own business as others will find your ad very useful.

• Put a Search Box on Your Site - If you have a website of your own, you can put a Traffic Swarm search box on your site and earn credits each time one of your visitors uses it.

• Add a Link Box to Your Site - This is another option if you own your own site and can add a simple HTML code. You can add a link box anywhere on your site and earn credits whenever any of your site visitors click on a link. Your site will also be added to link boxes hosted on thousands of other Traffic Swarm network sites.  A link box is simply a box that contains five links to other sites within the Traffic Swarm network.

All of these methods, or any combination thereof, will bring a lot of FREE traffic to your site.
