Traffic Exchanges are a great source for building your list when used correctly.

TE’s should be used to build your downlines and get sign ups as opposed to trying to sell products directly. They are easy to set up, all you need is a squeeze page with an opt-in form to capture your leads, upsell page and download page.

Are you using a tabbed browser?

I use and highly recommend the Firefox browser. Firefox is quicker and less susceptible to viruses than Internet Explorer. You should always have virus protection on your computer and active when connecting to the World Wide Web.

Setting up your surfing using the Firefox browser couldn’t be easier. You can download the latest version of Firefox here.

Now install the browser.

Set up a folder within your bookmarks and call it TE’s or similar. Within this folder set up further folders, select a name for each of these. Now open up your Traffic Exchanges in your browser and bookmark them to the relevant folder you just set up. I like to set mine up so the timer is of a similar duration, the number of TE’s in each folder needs to be related to the timer length. For example five TE’s with a 10 second timer in one folder will surfice. On a 20 second timer you can have 8 – 10 TE’s.

Now when you want to surf you can navigate to your bookmarks. Then hover your cursor over the folder you wish to open, at the bottom of the dropdown menu that appears click on ‘open all in tabs’. This will open all your TE’s stored in that folder in a new tab within your browser window.

You can now carry on clciking away and surf as usual, to move to the next tab press the Ctrl + Tab keys together.

Firefox is a quick browser already but you can tweak it and increase the speed still further, if you are using it via a broadband connection.

Here’s what you need to do:

Go to the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the config. “menu”, here you can change the parameters of Firefox.

Note that these settings are what I’ve found to speed up my Firefox browser significantly. These settings are optimized for broadband connections.

Double Click on the following settings and insert in the numbers below – for the true / false parameters – they will change when you double click.

Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300

Just one more task…

Right-click on the viewing area of the screen
Add a New – Integer.
call it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay”
Set its value to “0”

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re using broadband, there should be no delay.

Now you should notice your pages are loading much quicker.
