search is powerful because it provides targeted leads. traffic exchange may be powerful if you are targeting new webmasters or find a niche specific one that caters to your industry.

Most traffic exchanges have cheat prevention. If a member uses an automated bot or tries to cheat the exchange and therefore the other members in any other way their account will be terminated he/she will lose all credits.
The goal of a traffic exchange is to build a membership base as large and as active as possible.
If it is a 2 to 1 ratio and the member surfs 500 sites, he will get 250 views and the traffic exchange owner gets the other 250 view.
The owner can then either sell the views (or visitors) to his members, or he can give them as rewards for surfing or joining other programs.
Most traffic exchanges are free to use. It's a great way to improve your Alexa rating and your Google Page Rank.
The best way to find out if any marketing campaigh is working is to use link trackers. So, instead of taking my word for it & wondering which methods are most effective...set up an ad tracker and track your results.
I know of a few free ones, if you're interested in giving it a try.
