Service Description
My Free Text Ads is an advertising exchange program created and run by internet marketer Frank Salinas. This program revolves around reading and placing text ads within the site itself, though there are other types of advertising available as well. MFTA also has a referral system in place that allows members to earn advertising points through recruiting others to the program.
Detailed Overview
My Free Text Ads is, in a way, a traffic exchange program, in that members can place ads within the site that will send other members to their business websites. This being said, there is no direct website surfing in this program like there is in other traffic exchange programs. It is basically an ad exchange program, with the same goals—getting exposure for your websites.
There are only two membership levels in My Free Text Ads, which is actually unusual for this type of program. The levels are free and pro. Another unusual aspect is that you earn your way into pro membership by being active with the program and earning points through reading ads and referring other members. This is a great way for MFTA to ensure that member ads are actually being seen.
As a free member of My Free Text Ads, you get a sign-up bonus of 1000 credits. These credits can be put toward placing text ads as well as other types of advertising. Pro members get a 2000 point bonus, plus they get more points for clicking on other member ads and for referrals. Pro members also get to post more ads daily. It takes 35,000 points to upgrade to pro membership.
Text ads are, of course, not the only kind of way that you can advertise through My Free Text Ads. Depending on how many points you have to spend (and you can purchase points as well as earn them), you can place banner ads and HTML ads within the site and send promotional emails to other members.
Reputation
My Free Text Ads is enjoying a good reputation among people who like to use ad exchange, traffic exchange, and safelist programs. The fact that the program encourages active participation is a good thing; it means that members’ ads are actually being seen. Frank Salinas has had other successes with advertising programs, and this one looks like it will be around for a while too.
Domain "Whois"
The Whois information for a website lists the owner and their contact information. The Whois information for "My Free Text Ads" is public which is generally a good thing. This indicates the owner of this site has nothing to hide.

Did get traffic
I did get more traffic using this service but I did not get any leads from the traffic. I promote email sign ups and free memberships which can be easy to convert but I still did not get any conversions. Maybe it is because I just tried a few times and needed to give it more time. I agree that the motivation of the people clicking on the ads and sites may be just making money and might be the reason why most clicks do not bring any leads. I will give it a few more tries to see if I can get any better results.

Decent amount of traffic, but nothing more
I signed up for a free membership with MyFreeTextAds a while ago and I thought it was nice that you started out with 1000 free bonus points. What I also thought was great was that free members had the ability to obtain a pro membership by earning 35,000 points from simply clicking on other people's ads. But what I quickly realized about this website was that all of the clicks my ads were receiving were from other members trying to get more points. While the extra traffic was nice, it wasn't doing anything to help get my conversion rates up.
I wouldn't really consider this particular website to be useful to someone who wants to increase their conversion rates by a substantial amount. Either way, I do recommend that you give this site a go. But I suggest that you start out with a free membership initially.

This proved to be a great find
It was about three months ago when I happened to come across My Free Text Ads. I was having some doubts whether to try it or not since traffic exchanges are not my favorite way to advertise. The site actually turned out to be pretty nice and I was able to achieve some good results. I started earning credits. The process is not too much time consuming and it took me a few hours of surfing to earn enough credits to advertise. So I added a few referral links and assigned credits to them. In about two weeks I was able to get some referrals which were actually quite active on the programs I was advertising. There were also some bonuses, like the cash prizes, which were a good thing definitely. Overall my opinion on the site is that it is quite good for getting some additional exposure and you might also get some referrals. That was my case at least. As a conclusion I would say that this is one of the best traffic exchanges you will get to find.

Lackluster to say the least
While this may be a good idea on paper it doesn’t seem to be the same way in practice. The problem is that because the advertising is done within the site you don’t see much in the way of targeted traffic. Most of your visitors are there for the credits they get for clicking a link. On the rare occasion I did make a sale I would say it was well worth it, but the main function of the site seems to be to inflate page views.
The only thing I can say in the sites defense is that perhaps it works better for niches that are attracted to the site such as internet marketing as sites related to this field would draw more attention than all the commonly used examples of dog training. I also have yet to see any evidence of these links on Google either, so I think I will be leaving this service to those who are having real success.

Nothing special about this one
There is nothing special about My Free Text Ads. The one thing that I liked about this site is that you can ad 5 text ads, and you get 1000 points when you sign up. The other thing that I liked about this site is that a point only gets deducted if someone actually clicks on your link, not just when the site is shown. That is positive. The reason why I said that it was nothing special is because I have not seen that many positive results. Sure my websites got hits, but I did not make any sales or get sign ups from this site. Unfortunately, I think that people are just clicking on your ad to get credits, and they are not interested in the website at all.

More than I expected
I'm not into traffic exchange sites, since not a lot of people are actually interested in the sites they are surfing. I've registered to the site some months ago and right away started assigning credits to my blog. The traffic on the blog did increase, not much, but it did. The problem is that the traffic wasn't very targeted and I wasn't getting any new signups.
The cash prizes were a good addition to the site, but unfortunately I wasn't able to win anything.
Compared to the other traffic exchange sites I've tried, My Free Text Ads was better in every respect, but it still isn't the best possible way of increasing traffic to your site.

My Free Text Ads Will Get You Some Traffic
I joined My Free Text Ads last year, and I find this exchange very responsive and easy to use. I like the fact that you can see the amount of hits your links receive and also the option to post text or HTML ads.
There is a downline building feature which has brought a few referrals for me too. Another good thing about this exchange is the option to use your credits to purchase advertising.

Huge results and it's free!
I started using My Free Text Ads a few months ago when I wanted some traffic to my website. My Free Text Ads is another traffic exchange website out there. There are two types of memberships in this there are two types of levels: free, and membership. Also, unlike other websites, you don’t have to pay for membership. You increase rank the more you are active and read texts. I signed up as a free member and received 1,000 credits free. I started purchasing some text ads with these free credits. Surprisingly, I got a lot of traffic from the text ads I was posting. My website received a couple hundred more visitors with this exchange! Also, when I ran out of credits all I had to do was click on some more ads. Within a few months, I reached pro membership by accumulating 35,000 points. I received 2,000 credits free and used that for more advertising so that I got more traffic to my website. Now with pro membership, I can place more ads as well as earn more money from each click. Overall, My Free Text Ads is a great traffic exchange website that gives great results and can really help you get some traffic to your website. I give this website a two thumbs up.

One of the best traffic exchange sites
This is one of the best traffic exchange sites I ever used. I subscribed because they are giving 1000 text ads. To my surprise these texts brought me a lot of traffic. In order to get more credit all I have to do is to click on some ads. After 3 months I upgraded to pro membership without spending any money. I used the credits I got from them. For this I needed 35000 points. Now I am able to place a lot more of my own ads and get traffic. My only complaint is that it's very difficult for me to get referrals. I only have 2 so far.

Really is worth a good try
I don't normally use traffic exchange sites, but this one I stumbled across and found it very easy to use.
You get 1,000 Text ads on sign up, so I used these and they gave me good hits to my ads, and even got me some referrals which was very good as I didn't expect any. You can then click ads to receive more credits. I would strongly recommend this to people to give it a try.
I also like the fact that they give out random weekly cash prizes, so if you sign up make sure you add your Paypal address to your profile. I won this once, wasn't much, but money is money. All in all a good traffic exchange site.

Really free ads
I was skeptical first when I joined in My Free Text Ads, in almost all the traffic exchange sites I’ve joined there is a fee to be able to place your ads. But here you can immediately place your ads within the site with the 1,000 bonus points received upon signing in. Then you just have to click other ads to earn credits. Within two months I was able to upgrade to pro membership without paying a single cent! I just have to accumulate 35,000 points to do so. With the pro membership, I got more conversion from the ads I view. And I can place my ads on a daily basis. With this site my traffic increased significantly.

Mixed feelings for this site
I am not a big fan of traffic exchanges because of the reputation I have given them: You do not get real, targeted traffic, and instead waste your time surfing other sites that you are not interested in. Luckily with this advertisement exchange, I actually got a couple of referrals to sites from my blog. I was excited when I found this out. I continued to use it but didn't go as far as three referrals which was disappointing. I did end up winning one of the weekly cash prizes which wasn't too much money, but hey, it is cash! Who wouldn't like that? I kept surfing sites but eventually gave up. I wasn't getting anything more out of it, so I just never logged back in. I still need to delete my account.

Excellent site for hits
I have been using Free Text Ad Exchange for about 4 months now and have really enjoyed the hits that my blog is receiving. The site is very easy to navigate and I have my choice of clicking on sites, text ads, etc., to earn my credits. Since the hits to my blog are so great, I do not mind posting my ad every day. I really enjoy the bonus credits I get when I surf 25 pages. I would have to recommend this site for anyone who wants quality hits to their site or blog. You will definitely see a difference. I also like the fact that they give out random weekly cash prizes so if you sign up make sure you add your paypal address to your profile. I give this site a thumbs up.

Phenomenal Conversion Rates!
I signed up at this site a while back, and it is one of the rare few that I still use today! The conversion rates at this site are phenomenal! It is better than almost any other traffic exchange program that I have used! I received 1000 credits upon signing up which really helped to get me started. I like how you don't have to buy an upgraded membership at this site and you can just earn it by being active. One of the great benefits of being a pro member is the HTML ad that gets randomly rotated on the login/logout pages. I have received the best conversions using this ad position. Overall, this site is great if you are looking for continual and free site exposure!

My Free Text Ads is Pretty Good
I use My Free Text Ads mainly for advertising. I place my ads on My Free Text Ads and members are sent directly to my own websites. This helps to produce a great amount of traffic on my website. I earn points reading ads and referring my friends. I started out as a free member and finally earned my way into the pro membership. I received a 1000 point sign up bonus when I first signed up so that helped me a lot. Once I became a pro member I received a 2000 sign up bonus. I recommend My Free Text Ads to anyone wanting more members to visit their websites!
