"Micro Economy" a positive side effect of a traffic exchange

What is the definition and purpose of a traffic exchange network?

For those of you that are "in the know" you recognize the name and associate it with a place to bring major hits to your site, advertise your product or service and with some determination, gain some new customers, clients,members and sales. What you might not understand is that the word 'network' is also a powerful and meaningful term here. Before we get to what the term network means to us lets look at the term 'micro-economy'. We all know that in reality our outside world has a bad economy. But what happens when we start taking advantage of products and service offered within a 'micro-economic network'? What would happen if the members in our traffic exchange supported each other's businesses by buying products and services from each other?

Basicaly what we've really established here is a micro-econmic network. We've created our own and can benefit tremendously if we support each other's businesses. So the next time your thinking of buying a product or service why not refer to the members here at our traffic exchange network? We have all types of businesses! From independent reps offering wireless internet to hosting providers, health food and even coupon pages from local and nationaly advertised products. You support their business and they'll support yours. This is part of what a network is about. The other part is helping others by sharing your knowledge through your blogs and interaction with other members.

So if you have not joined a traffic exchange network. Why not join us at http://www.surfforlocalmusic.com/ ? We are working to improve our site's effectiveness everyday. By supporting us and participating you help us promote local music acts from New England online. These music sites draw attention from the local music fans. Most of whom had never even heard of a traffic exchange and what it does until we came along. This only help us expand our network and it helpls you reach new prospects for your business as well as new recruits to help your business grow!

If you participate in our network, support the other members and share your knowledge there isn't any reason why your business won't grow. With this you should be on your way to be independently wealthy by taking control and participating in our own little "micro economy" here at Surf For Local Music (SFLM). We are not only here to promote you but we are here to help you succeed.

About us;

Hello Webmasters, Bloggers and E Zine Publishers!

At our traffic exchange we offer many ways to help you increase your Search Engine Rating and ultimately enhance Search Engine placement. One way to do this is to increase the number of back links to your site. In order to do this you either have to ask alot of webmasters or you can take advantage of our external ad exchange at SFLM. You can help us to increase our web of return links by placing our external exchange on your site and the you can place a text ad or mini banner or wide banner ad (or all three) to increase your "back links" status.

When members (new and old) do this it benefits everyone in our network because it increases both ours and yours; advertisement visibility. Not only do you receive a return link on our ad exchange listing page but you receive more credits added to your balance and if anyone signs up to the exchange under you, you receive more credits for the referral and if they become a paid member a commission on top of that.

How do you do this?

Note; Open your website editor and find an appropriate place for the ad exchange.

How to example;

Text ads; These are csutomizable to your site's colors.
First decide how wide you would like the ad area to cover on your site. Then, decide how many ads down and accross you want.kepn mind that the total maximum number of ads is 12. Third, using the color chart on the right place the color numbers into the form to display your ad to your liking. You can keep playing with any variations above untill you get it right. Just keep hitting redraw after each time you change something.

How to get it into your site?

Simply, place your curser in the box, go to edit and select 'select all' or press these keys on your keyboard; Ctrl & A at the same time. Now, open your site editor, the html tool box, then paste it in where you would like the ad exchange to appear. Then re-publish yours site.
