Traffic Exchanges

Traffic Exchanges provide yet another means of generating traffic to your site(s). There are two types: Manual and Auto Surf sites. Some sites offer a mix of the two. In my opinion, Manual-Surfs are way better than Auto-surfs, if you're actually interested in getting people to SEE your site(s).

In theory, Auto-surfs allow you to sit back and watch the ads, without having to click anything. Like watching TV. In practice, most people will just start the auto-surf, and leave it running in the background while they do other things. However, a few dedicated auto-surfs have found a way to draw in the big bucks - % earnings on your investment for auto-surfing daily. This will be discussed in another entry soon, but in short, the more you invest, the more you stand to earn... WHEN you reach the minimum payout, and IF the site is legitimate.

In all traffic exchanges, you receive credit for your pageviews, which can be used to promote your site(s). Manual surfs require you to click a link to move on to the next page, and in order to keep click bots away, most manual traffic exchanges use rotating images or Turing numbers to verify activity. Many PTR/PTC/PTP sites offer Manual-Surfs as well, but these are usually for points to be redeemed for ads, etc.

Some traffic exchanges allow you to earn some money while you surf. How much you earn, depends on how well you promote the site, or how many sites you surf. ShareAdSpace is quite a popular one and seems to be some sort of de facto standard when it comes to PTP approvals.

Here's a short list of Traffic Exchanges I've tried (in no particular order):
ClickVoyager - rewards for top surfers. 2 credits (0.2 pageviews), 20 sec timer. The bonuses get better, the more you surf. In fact, I've earned more pageviews from the bonuses!
Members: 14000+
KenoClix - a game of Keno while you surf. If you win, you get free surfing credits for your sites. Watch out for the Powerhour (50% more credits)! 0.5 credits (0.5 pageview), 15 sec timer.
Members: 2500+
MoneyandHits - Surf 50 sites, and get 250 Free credits on signup. Random bonuses. In addition, there is a Promotion page, which earns you 0.4 credits per valid view. 0.5 credits, 25 sec timer. Click here for my strategy on how to promote this site.

RandomRiches - Surf 50 sites and get a sign-up bonus of 50c, 50 credits, 200 textlinks & 200 banner credits. 0.5 credits, 20 sec timer. And like the name says, random riches! A monthly 50 credit bonus too.

RewardingTraffic - 0.5 credits, 15 sec timer. Fun Yahtzee game. There is a cash incentive for surfing (currently between $0.13-$0.15 CPM)
Members: 4800+
TrafficSwarm - on average, between 1-5 credits per valid pageview. 20 second timer.
WebMasterQuest - Surf for traffic gives 1 credits per pageview, 30 sec timer. There are other surf options available too.
ClickThru - 1:1 pageview, 30 sec timer.


Some of the sites above offer upgraded membership, which can be quite rewarding ($) IF you can surf a high number of sites daily. Be sure to do some calculations and check, to see if it is worth the money and effort.

The following three are free 1:1 Exchanges that do not require registration. These are good for PTP sites.
