How The Traffic Laundry Works

The Traffic Laundry wants to provide as much aid and assistance to webmasters as possible.  This system is designed to help webmasters get traffic to their sites in a simple, cost-effective way.  This benefits the webmasters in several ways:

• More traffic means potentially higher ratings on statistical sites, such as Alexa and SiteRanking
  • A higher statistical rating means potentially higher relevance on search engines
• More traffic means more exposures and impressions are made of your site and it's advertisements
• More traffic means better positioning at 'topsite' websites
  • TopSites are just more categorical-specific versions of a statistical ratings site
• More traffic means more potential customers coming through your website

One mistake that many Traffic Exchanges make is telling a webmaster that they will be "flooded with targeted customers, ready to buy".  That is not the primary purpose of a Traffic Exchange.

The primary purpose of a Traffic Exchange is to generate traffic to the website, period.

That being said, if your target audience is "webmasters working on promoting their websites", then you will probably reach some potential customers.  But even then, do not expect high conversion rates.  Webmaster surfers are all in the same boat: they want more traffic, for higher ratings, for better rankings, to get customers from the larger search engines.

General Concept

In a nutshell: You visit other websites through one of our viewer systems and earn 'tokens'.  Each token entitles one of your pages to be viewed Washed by someone else.  We offer Auto Wash, Manual Wash, and the new X TIMER Surfing Washing options.

You are a webmaster, and you want web-surfers to see your website, for all the reasons listed above. The Traffic Laundry will show your website to other users, at a cost of 1 'token each time your website is shown.  So, as long as you have 'tokens' available, your site will be shown to our other The Traffic Laundry users.

Tokens may be earned in several different ways:

1. When you first join The Traffic Laundry, you are given some tokens
2. You can choose to view other sites through any one of our display systems.  For every site you visit, you will earn tokens
3. We also sell tokens, with bulk-discounting available. i.e.: When you buy more tokens, you pay less per token.
4. You can display our referral page.  Each display to a unique user on a given day will earn some tokens. 
5. You can also refer other members.  If someone signs up through your referral page, you get tokens when they sign up, and a percentage of their token earnings when they participate in  The Traffic Laundry.
6. If someone you referred purchases something or upgrades their membership, you get some tokens from that, as well.
7. We also now offer a Banner Exchange: Place a line of JavaScript on one or more of your website's pages, and every time that page is viewed, you earn  tokens, depending on the size of banner you select.

Different earning and referral ratios are available to different 'levels' of membership.  For specifics on how many tokens are earned in different ways at each level of membership, see our Membership Levels page in the Pricing section.

Terminology used on The Traffic Laundry:

We are using a 'Laundry' or "Car Wash" motif to add a little color and individuality to our Traffic Exchange.  

Tokens - A unit of value.  1 token allows a member to show one page they wish promoted 1 time.  tokens may be earned through viewing washing other members sites, referring other members, or they may be purchased.

Sequential View - A block of related sites that can be presented in a particular order to washers.  This allows webmasters to create longer, more attractive, or more meaningful messages. For example if you were selling cars, you may wish to display several cars from the same manufacturer in a specific order of model or color.  This also has a nice side-effect, since it will look to site-statistics systems as though each user is 'clicking through' multiple pages, creating longer visit times.

Washer - A web surfer, using our viewer to view sites like yours in exchange for tokens (or cash).  This is also the generic term used for any membership level.

Free Wash - This is the basic free membership where you earn tokens by viewing "washing" other members sites.

Wash and Wax - This is a monthly membership which enables you to earn more tokens by viewing "washing" other members sites. You also get a gift of extra tokens every month and a shorter timer "wash cycle". You also earn commissions from the purchases of your personally sponsored members.

Hand Wash - A monthly membership that entitles you to more privileges. You earn even more tokens by viewing "washing" other members sites. You also get a larger gift of extra tokens every month and a shorter timer "wash cycle". You also earn a higher percentage commission from the purchases of your personally sponsored members.

Full Detail - This is the full service. The highest level of membership available. Designed for those that want the best. You get full access to all features. You get the most from your own personal efforts and the most from your personally sponsored members.
