I have seen many Clickbank affiliate marketers use manual traffic exchanges to promote the products. Do you think it's possible to make sales this way? I have tried for a couple of days without success. What is your experience?
My experience is that marketing is about finding out what people want to buy and then finding a way to sell it to them, not choosing products and then trying to persuade people to buy them when they're people to whom you have access only because they're trying to persuade you to buy something.
Not to mention if you send a ton of traffic exchange traffic (which is mostly from countries like India) you have a high chance of being reported to Clickbank. Vendors don't like seeing 10s of thousands of non-targeted traffic eating up their bandwidth.
Good for you. Unless you're running an adult TGP website, traffic exchanges wont provide targeted traffic. Untargeted traffic = waste of time. Go back to Pete's thread and stop talking about stuff you don't understand.

Traffic exchanges work especially when getting newbies jumping due to the sales copy. I would only promote stuff that fellow web masters and money makers MIGHT want and leave everything else out. There is a reason they are on te's in the first place and it is to make money, generate traffic or sell their warez. Any additional traffic source, getting new eyes on your site is worth it.

The fact is that people who are using traffic exchanges do not have money to spend on advertising. This of course also means that they would not have money to spend on your clickbank product being promoted on the exchange. It is extremely unlikely to get any sales from a traffic exchange. Your time can be invested in other methods that are much better and will give you better results.
