A Review of Free Manual Traffic Exchanges
There are quite a number of traffic exchange sites, but I am going to review three of the top ones.
TrafficG
The first one is TrafficG. It is not the largest or most popular, but the layout is immediately easy to understand. Unlike so many sites out there this one does not try to confuse you into clicking on something else.
The main page shows you your current credits (how many you have earned), the sites in which the credits can be distributed, and the Start Surfing button.
The Start Surfing is also available on the left side of the screen, along the menu. Each page you visit uses a Captcha in the upper left corner, in order to deter automation. You simply click on one of the three Captcha choices that you see. Currently it is set to 20 seconds minimum between sites.
Features include:
- Very simple site navigation and layout
- One “splash page”
- An excellent referral program, including contests
- Many banners to use for referrals
- A simple to use toolbar

EasyHits4U
EasyHits4U is the most popular traffic exchange around. It has existed since 2003. The layout is pretty easy to follow, with a menu bar at the top of the site.
Features include:
- Earn real money or credits toward more traffic
- Includes a directory to add your site
- Includes many prebuilt splash pages
- Option to create your own splash pages
- A site rotator to help you to manage, host, and track your sites

StartXchange
StartXchange looks like it will catch up to others because of the founder very aggressively comping up with creative ways of gaining visitors and members. He also hosts a very popular traffic exchange directory, which certainly helps. It is the oldest, having been created in 2001. Many of the traffic exchange sites out there are using a script written by the founder, Tim Linden. He created the first version of StartXchange when he was 15 years old. If you’re looking for an innovative traffic exchange then this is it. They set the standard.
Features include:
- Chat option
- Contests and prizes
- Ability to join various teams of people competing for prizes
- An active forum
- A very good referral program
- Easy to understand layout and navigation
