1. EasyHits4U – Clearly the top traffic exchange of 2009 and probably will be again in 2010. Terrific results, huge member base, 30 cents for every 1000 pages surfed, credits awarded 5 levels deep, and a low cash out level of $3 to Pay Pal or Alert Pay.  What more could you want?

2. Traffic Swarm- Unique surfing here but it works! One of the most effective TE’s online today. Promote 10 websites as a free member and promote this one to get easy free credits 5 levels deep for referrals. This one’s a referral magnet for new sign ups!

3. Clixsense – No surfing pages here and not your typical traffic exchange. Traffic does get exchanged here heavily and provides easy ways to earn money and the most effective advertising online today. Must pay $10 for yearly upgrade, but you will earn that and more in only 2 months. Refresh the page as many times daily to get maximum benefits. Clixgrid Game earns 10 cents to 5 dollars and upgraded members get 50 clicks a day!

4. Gladiator Hits – Quietly has been sneaking up on all the big boys of the TE World. Generous bonus pages and a security question that earns members 10 credits each time. Easy to surf, low timer, specials, and more make Gladiator an easy pick for a top 10 traffic exchange in 2009 and it’s solid foundation will have it strong in 2010 too.

5. LinkGrand- No surfing here. New ads appear throughout the day and needs to be monitored 10 to 12 times a day. Earn money with a 24 hour cashout period of $5 or more. Great advertising results and only slightly behind Clixsense for effectiveness, but easily one of the top 2 places online today for results. Earning money while you advertise, what could be better?

6. Traffic Syndicate 25 – Cream of the crop for traffic exchanges. The best TE of the decade hands down. No top traffic exchange list is complete without adding TS25 to the mix. One of the few Logiscape websites that has very few bells and whistles. Results get provided here day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. A must for any online marketer searching for free advertising.

7. Rain Forest Clicks – Easy to surf and promote. Great results come from this green traffic exchange. Excellent and frequent promotions that makes surfing a lot of fun here. Better results at RFC than it’s sister site Hit Safari; which has a bigger member base. Proof that some traffic exchanges work and some don’t. Size doesn’t matter in the Rain Forest.

8. Free Traffic World – Solid results with easy ways to earn credits for your advertisements. Buying a first page sponsor ad for a day, a 2nd page ad for a week, or the 3rd ad in rotation for a month is very affordable here. If you have a little money in the budget for advertising, you will want to spend it here on the sponsor ads. Investing in your online promotions here is a simple way to turn a nice profit.

9. First Place Traffic – The traffic exchange that time has forgot about. No more a first place for traffic, but still a top 10 contender that mixes old school marketers with new ones. Their long history makes them a worthy traffic exchange and just a few credits go a long ways here with the great results that FPT provides to it’s members.

10. Click Voyager – They been around, but still produce steady traffic to webmasters. A must place to be every Monday as ratios get increased 50% for everyone and 3 people earn platinum memberships each week for just surfing on Mondays at the Voyager. You will love the amount of websites you can promote here; excellent for online marketers with 50 websites or more to promote.
