Hi Dantes Peak,
With the manual traffic exchanges, it seems that the best way to maximize your time and efforts there, is by first asking yourself, "What are the people here who are using this manual surf here for?"
Most likely, the answer is not to find out more about some other opportunity (although many do),
but the reason they are there is the reason you are there too...to drive targeted traffic to YOUR offer.

With that out of the way, the fact that they have timers means that you only have a few seconds to capture their attention...and their contact info!
If using these at all, it is recommended that you use a squeeze page with your picture to build trust and some audio that plays immediately upon the visit with about 5 bullets of the benefits they can expect to receive
after opting in to your webform.
Of course, be sure to use an attention getting headline that highlights the overall benefits of what they can expect to have as a higher quality of life as a result of doing business with you.
Most actions are taken as a result of a strong, attention getting headline that promises a great benefit.
