Free Traffic Bar is a service that helps you build traffic to your website. The service utilizes a toolbar that helps you exchange traffic with other members of the service while you’re surfing the web. Unlike other traffic exchange programs, you do not have to do any forced web surfing, the toolbar will simply display ads from other users automatically.
There are many surf exchanges that you can join to get credits. However, the problem is that you have to spend a lot of time surfing in order to get traffic to your site. Free Traffic Bar is a tool bar you can install that builds you credits while you’re surfing the web.
Whenever you visit a new page, a small text link on the right corner of the tool bar rotates and shows ads of Free Traffic Bar’s members. You will also have your ad of your choosing placed there and start out getting your ad displayed once for every four times you visit a new page.
Now let’s talk about the tool bar itself. Like the standard toolbar, the Free Traffic Bar has a search box you can use. The search results take you to Google but it doesn’t end there. You can change the type of search to search Yahoo, articles, audios, blogs, discussion groups, local search, news, pictures, and more.
There are links to the Free Traffic Bar training which let you access and change your account information, visit the forum, and access the site’s training. You can also change your toolbar ID, updated your ad, and buy ad credits from the tool bar.
There are over 80 tools built into the toolbar. There is a resource of sites for Ad Tracking, Affiliate Marketing, Article Marketing, Audio/Video, Autoresponders, Copywriting, Domain Names, Downline Builders, eBooks, Forums, MLM, Payment Systems, Promotional Items, Shopping, Traffic Exchanges, Training, Website Building, and Web Hosting
The really huge benefit of these resources is that Free Traffic Bar plugs in your affiliate ID into the resources. So let’s say somebody you referred signs up to Free Traffic Bar and installs it into their browser. If they click on the tools section then go to the autoresponders resources and end up buying some service, you will be credited for the sale.
I didn’t notice it immediately but I noticed that the service also has a downline system built into it. There is a referral structure 10 levels deep which is similar to many other traffic exchange programs. Basically you will be able to get your ad shown more if you refer people to the service and they make referrals as well.
While the membership is free, you can upgrade for more benefits. The Starter Pro ($3.99 a month) gives you 2500 bonus credits a month, a 3:1 ratio, 25% in commissions for your referrals and 15% discount on future ad credits. The Advanced Pro ($9.99 a month) gives you 5500 bonus credits, a 2:1 ratio, 35% in commissions and 25% discount on future ad credits. The Masters Pro ($19.99 a month) gives you 16000 bonus credits, a 1:1 surf ratio, 50% in commissions and 50% discount off future ad credits.
You can upgrade for the lifetime platinum upon joining for 150000 premium banner ads, 25000 ads every month, a 1:2 surf ratio, 50% off all advertising, and 50% in commissions for your referrals. The platinum upgrade also gives you the ability to give away 10,000 bonus credits which you can give away as an incentive to join under your link.
Overall, Free Traffic Bar is a great concept. It gives you the benefits of traffic exchanges without having to visit sites of other members. You can browse regularly and let the toolbar do all the work. Members who’ve used the service have gotten good results from their advertising and campaigns using Free Traffic Bar.
Just remember that you do have to test different ads and banners to see which ones give you the best results. You can login and view impressions, CTR, and clicks of your ads, which really helps you get the most out of this service. The site also offers various video training, providing value to the members and keeping them active in the Free Traffic Bar community. Overall, it’s a great alternative source of traffic and worth investing your time into.

Earn credits just for being online I signed up as a free member to find out more for myself. It is so powerful and a free tool. Sometimes I'm so surprised when I discover tons of credits appear in my account. I don't have to surf especially like in other TE sites, just doing my own internet research, just surfing the web like I normally do. What I like in the FTB is that I get 25 credits just for signing into my account. I have gotten lots of hits to my site. I can see how many clicks I get, so it is great way to test ads before you decide to use paid services. I get my visitors every day and best of all, it is all free. If you decide to install Free Traffic Bar you will see you are earning credits for doing absolutely nothing just surf the web. When you join FTB you can get access to internet tools and free sources to get quality traffic. I really recommend it |

Sometimes time consuming, but worth it It seems like a good idea, but it's not as effective as it seems. The thing is you really have to do a lot of surfing to get this one working right, and just looking at the time spent on that you could have easily made better advertising by other means. Sometimes you can get good results with this one, but it really depends on what you are doing. In any way if you think that this will be enough to the job you are wrong, but you can use it sometimes to get some extra results. You also get free traffic by just running it and with good ad lines you can improve your traffic and get better results.

Seems like a good idea - not very effective  The first thing you should know is that mostly internet marketers will use this. Uncle Joe selling homemade sausages is not likely to have a Free Traffic Bar on his browser. Therefore it is a highly competitive advertising field. It is true that you can easily get tens of thousands of free credits, however the clickthrough rate for me was very close to zero. A definite plus is though the collection of programs you can see inside in the members' area. I personally think it is better for finding opportunities than for advertising.

A new concept in getting traffic I really like this service. Instead of clicking on ads for hours and hours, you simply install a tool bar, and it displays the ad right there. The other thing that I like about this tool bar is the stats that you have are right there in front of you. This is great because you can see which text lines work and which ones don't. This is also helpful in other traffic exchanges. The hits were delivered and I did get positive results. I definitely recommend this to anyone that does not have a lot of time to click on a lot of different of ads.

Earn traffic just for being online I get less than a 1% click thru rate, but what do you expect for simply running a toolbar in your browser. I won't promise you huge amounts of sales or quality traffic with this program. However, it is a great way to test and tweak your text ads before spending money on them. You can tweak and test your ads and try them on different target groups. |

Easier than ad exchanges, and free  I have used the FTB for nearly a year now and recommend it. It is easy to use, easy to see the stats for each ad that you run, and cuts out the hassle of sitting there manually clicking on countless ads per day if you are in a traffic exchange. I like that each time your browser accesses a different page, a different ad appears in the toolbar. If I am engrossed in my web browsing I may not look at the ads, but normally I find that I check the text line each time a new one appears, and click on those that look interesting. I have run different ad lines simultaneously for the same product and have found that one line may not get clicked upon at all, while another text line has numerous clicks, and the tracking is easy. There are freebies, and also if you join some of the jv programs through the site you gain extra credits (10,000) or so. I really recommend it. |

This works with little hassle I've been active with FTB for probably a year or so. I have only used the toolbar ads and they have gotten me continuous hits and leads to my site. I think, as with most advertising, but specifically with FTB toolbar ads, you must make sure you use a short but compelling ad line to get people to click on the ad. I have changed my ad line when I see that my click thru activity is not as effective as I'd like. I've also used spit testing since you can place more than one ad to run at the same time. Additionally, I know this works because I constantly click on ads I see in the tool bar, but it does depend on if the ad line is compelling. You can get this to work for you with the right ad line. If not you may be disappointed as some others, but it has worked well for me with little hassle. Also you get 150 credits for logging in daily so this is a good free source to get quality traffic without a lot of time consuming work. |

Great Concept I think the Free Traffic Bar has a great concept. I didn't have to surf any sites at all, and I still got so many credits. However, I think traffic exchanges are more effective because you get guaranteed views to the page you're trying to promote. However with the Free Traffic Bar your credits will be used as Toolbar Ad Impressions. I think a lot of people don't pay any attention to the ads shown on the toolbar and so people don't get any views to their site and they get all their credits used up. Some people are getting lots of views to their site, but I (as a free member) am only allowed to add 3 Toolbar Ads. I added 3 and assigned 200 credits to each of them, but when I checked back the next morning all 600 credits had been used with not a single view to my site. The CTR was 0%. I think my word choice was pretty good, and so I don't know why people didn't click on my ads. Since I'm still quite new to this site, I'm going to stick with it for a while longer since. I've only heard good things about them. However, I've had better results with traffic exchanges.

Amazing find This is definitely different from the usual traffic exchange I joined. First, you have to download their toolbar to start their service. The toolbar is itself user friendly, and if it still confuses you, there are available how-to videos. After I downloaded the toolbar, I immediately got my bonus credits and then every time I used the toolbar I got additional credit points! Everything you do here is converted into credit points and it really got me excited. I change my text and banner ads once in a while, I noticed that whenever I did that, I get more page impressions. And all these as a free member! I really recommend Free Traffic Bar! |

Fast, Free and Fantastic The review on this website is right on target! Well the first day, it only took a few seconds to install the toolbar (fast). Another few minutes to get all my ads loaded and get acquainted with the toolbar (fantastic). I even read all the bios of the staff; these people really know their stuff. They have how-to videos for almost everything on the site. Although they give you 1000 credits at signup, I was very surprised to see I earned 200 more credits just by surfing my normal PTC sites. I got 25 free credits just for logging in the second day. Every time your browser clicks to a new site, YOU earn credits. Does anyone really understand the power behind this toolbar? You are earning credits for doing absolutely nothing. Now it's just a matter of putting the right ads in the toolbar menu so others will click on your ads. I got one hit to my site the same day so I need to work a little on my ad campaigns. I highly recommend this toolbar; it saves a ton of time instead of surfing and it's FREE.

This won't market your website! First off, I have pretty much tried every traffic exchange program to increase visitors to my site. This one really stands out in my mind, of what not to do to attract visitors. Yeah, their advertising pitch sounds great in theory, but who is actually paying any attention to small title text ads at the top of your browser? The answer is not many. If I am searching a website my eyes are in the middle of the screen reading the content and not looking near the top of the browser. Obviously a lot of people behaved the same because the traffic exchange I received from this was nothing to brag about. Less than any other program I tried. |

Less effort but more results Who says that you have to work really hard and spend twice the time to get results? Free Traffic Bar can actually help you do more in less time. I signed up as a free member to check it out for myself. And boy was I impressed! I definitely had more visitors coming in to visit my site, and I didn't have to view other members' pages like I would using a manual traffic exchange site. I initially thought that it would get in the way of surfing or accessing the web, but there wasn't any problems at all. My browsing didn't slow down at all. It's not too much hassle, not too time consuming, I get my visitors, and best of all, it's all free. So I could say it's overall a pretty good site I would recommend to my friends.

Never got any clicks with this toolbar Maybe it was the title lines that I was using, but I never got any clicks when I was using this toolbar. I could have been using the wrong techniques, but I never got any downline to promote to either. But it's my opinion that no one pays attention to the ads running on this toolbar, regardless of how many times it's showed. I know none of the ads I saw piqued my interest enough for me to click. I believe there are other, more visible ways to promote that will get you better results. |

Top Notch Advertising For Those On A Tight Budget I am a free member and have received many visitors and referrals to my websites as a result of the advertising I set up. Free members get to add toolbar ads that show up on other people's downloaded toolbar, text ads and banners. You can see how many clicks you get, so it is a great way to test different text ads and banners for free before you put them out using a paid service. I have been very pleased and would recommend the service to any online marketer.

Great Service! First off, let me start by saying that the thing I love most about this service is that I didn't have to change anything from how I used to surf the internet except now I am getting free advertising too! This program is great! I do not find any need to upgrade or by any advertising as it is so easy to earn free ad credits! The advertising effectiveness itself is also really good, as I have gotten tons of hits to my site and many referrals under my programs without any more effort than just surfing the web like I normally do. They also offer detailed statistics such as click-through rate which is great! This is definitely a must join site if you are looking for free effective advertising!

Awesome system There's nothing I would've wanted to know before joining as everything's very well explained on the site's home page. What I like about the system is that I can show up to 3 banners and 3 text ads at the same time as a free member. What's really awesome is that I get credits to my account whenever I visit any other sites on the internet and also get 25 credits just for signing into my account each day. There's really nothing I dislike as it's an awesome system I can use for free and I can even view my click thru rates. My specific results have been that I've gotten better results with my text ads than my banner ads overall so I tend to put most of my credits on my text ads now. Also, every now and then Garland sends out emails with thousands of credits (usually 10,000) available if you join the program he's promoting. I joined ScreenSwarm through one of those emails and got credits in my Free Traffic Bar account for it. |
