Service Description

Webmaster Quest is a traffic exchange service in which you visit the sites of other users in order to earn credit. The credit you earn is then used to get other members to visit your site. What makes this traffic exchange unique is that it has multiple ways to get your site out there including a search engine, email ads, banners, affiliate exchanges, and promotional links in a rotator box.

Webmaster Quest is another traffic exchange site that helps you get traffic to your site without requiring a big budget. The service offers a 1:1 exchange, the ability to target by geography/interest, and an anti-cheat system.

In order to earn credit, you will have to visit sites of other members and look at it for 30 seconds. This guarantees that bots cannot be used to cheat they system and also makes sure that the sites of members gets viewed. There’s also a verification page that comes up to further prevent cheating.

Besides surfing, you can search Webmaster Quest’s search engine in order to earn credits. The engine is in a directory style format and you the sites with the most credits appear on the top of the listings. Keyword relevance also plays a factor in showing up in the search listings.

There are multiple ways to promote your site using Webmaster Quest. The first way is to surf for credit and used that credit to get your seen while other people are surfing. The second way is to use banners. You can opt to use your credits for banner impressions (a 5:1 ratio) which are shown in the surf bar. The third way is to promote using a text link format which shows up in the main page after members log in.

A really unique promotional method I haven’t seen in other traffic exchanges is the ability to email your referrals. This is, however, not your traditional email it’s like a message page in the membership area. If you want to earn commissions, you can use the Affiliate exchange which lets you offer credits to other members in exchange for having them sign up to your offer or program.

There are many incentives in place to help keep members active. There is a monthly referral contest in which members with the most active referrals get bonus credits. You can purchase a ticket for a monthly lottery which pays out 30000 credits, play card games to win credits, and more. In addition, you can earn mystery credits which appear randomly while you’re surfing with Webmaster Quest.

Similar to other traffic exchange programs, there is a downline structure integrated into the system. You earn credits up to 5 levels deep from your referrals when they surf and 2 levels deep when they search. If you want to earn more credits and do it in a faster rate, you’ll have to refer other members to Webmaster Quest.

I really like the fact that there are so many ways to promote your offers and affiliate links. The site is also very busy with activity unlike many other traffic exchanges. My advice is to make sure your credits aren’t automatically allocated and you manually set them so you can use them however you want.

The traffic quality is much lower than PPC and SEO but many members and advertisers using the site have gotten great ROIs. You have to really test different ways of advertising and try running different sites to see how they fare. Luckily, you can manage multiple ads and sites without any problems.

Overall, the response has been mostly positive for Webmaster Quest. While there are some reports of low quality traffic, there have been a lot of success stories. You can opt for a premium membership for $20 a month in order to get 2000 credits and your text links added to the main page. This is one of the better traffic exchanges, and I recommend it if you use them to get your traffic.
