Introduction
Please try to read over this entire message for important facts about traffic exchanges. Traffic exchanges are business-to-business opt-in "clubs" where you look at members web pages and they look at yours. If you have DSL, Cable, or any other type of high speed connection and don't have a lot of money for advertising, traffic exchanges are a must. They will also work with dial-up connections.

There are two types of traffic exchange pages: those that allow you to automatically have the pages change in the web browser (called "autosurf") and those that require you to click on a top banner-like control to change pages (these are called "manual"). Obviously, to prevent repetitive stress injury, you might want a mix of both. If you have a web host that charges you for bandwidth, you might join these autosurf sites in increments to see just how much you might be charged month-to-month.

We do not recommend anyone using traffic exchanges without a good antivirus program and some skill in getting rid of spyware. You absolutely need to use a spyware/adware checker as well as a virus checker when you use these accounts. The only anti-spyware program that we've used with consistant success is the freeware program Spybot Search and Destroy. We are not saying they are all bad, but all the other checkers we've tested are inferior. Many of the others are actually themselves spyware. Good freeware virus checkers are Avast and AVG. They are completely free and update themselves automatically. Several trojans have been spotted on several of these sites, and while these sites can be a great way to market and communicate your ideas to the world, like anywhere else, there are unscrupulous characters who spread these kinds of problems. You must be especially careful on auto traffic exchanges for malware/spyware/trojans.

Most traffic exchanges will give you free hits for signing up, sometimes 500, 1,000, 5,000, or even 10,000 or more free hits to your website. The ones that promise more often don't work. Manual traffic exchanges do not give away as many free hits as the automatic ones. Many exchanges give you a daily bonus in free hits just for signing in. This list here is very important because you will find many large lists of traffic exchanges on the Internet which contain many exchanges that no longer work. This list is dated and all the lists on this site work (except in the ones that we are currently about to phase out at the very bottom of the page).

Our philosophy with traffic exchanges is the same as with our approved safelists -- if we found the system could not set us up or log us in properly, after three tries we dropped the service. It's faster to sign up to new services by cutting and pasting your information from a text file that you multitask with than it is wondering if these sites really work or not. After signing up with over a hundred of these kinds of sites, we have seen all kinds of bad behavior on parts of owners. We are putting the ones here that have not done any of that. You also don't want to have too many of the autosurf ones going to your web page if the web server your web host uses can't handle the traffic. This would mean that your pages would load slow for hits by customers who might be coming to your site from a search engine or other market segment targeted methods. From what we've seen, traffic exchanges are the free Internet marketing resource where one has to be especially careful one doesn't waste time on a bad site. We have had to stop using about many sites.

Many of the pages you will see on traffic exchanges are actually scams. Sadly, there are about an equal amount of original products, artist's pages, personal pages, and the like to the same amount of scams or just advertising other traffic exchanges. This could be changed if more people were bringing in new people to these ways of marketing, but unless the amount of people doubles who do traffic exchanges and safelists, it will continue to be this way. However, by reading many of the things you'll see in these pages or emails, you eventually begin to educate yourself about the latest in Internet marketing. Therefore, traffic exchanges and safelists are a type of educational system for online business. They are also a relatively stress-free way of marketing.

Many traffic exchange programs will give you free hits when you sign up but usually those will not be given until you surf a certain amount of pages, which should be a small number, like 25 or at the most 50. Even if the exchange does not state this, if you don't surf and return to the site in two weeks or so you will see you will still have a large amount of free hit credits left. Surf and those should be used for your site. You also usually have to "allocate" credits from your hit "bank" to your web page.

Most traffic exchanges are also banner exchanges, in that they allow you to upload a banner for your website and then will show the banner on the website while people surf.

Traffic exchanges get you into international turf easier than safelists. Some we've seen display web pages in European or Asian languages which makes me realize that there are probably traffic exchanges in most larger countries and language groups. There could actually be traffic exchanges for specific types of sites, like music websites, much like the way Web Rings operate, but I do not see anyone implementing this idea.

About what you'll see on traffic exchanges: a lot of what you will see are actually scams. Many other pages on traffic exchanges are legitimate free marketing programs. Sometimes, you'll see an artist's website or an authors, or any number of people or associations looking for free marketing that might have charitable, altruistic or educational purposes for their sites.

This is a good page to bookmark or add to your favorites if you want to continue to log in to them. You will be able to get to the join sections now, or login by going back to the home page link by only showing the domain name in the top URL bar of your webbrowser.

Once you have an account, you can come back here to log into several of your accounts. You may have to go back to the login prompt at the home page (the .com page you can find by backspacing up in the URL bar).

These kinds of sites that allow one to add many sites are good for "online philanthropists" -- public educators who don't need money to help other people. See our link here for more information on New Economy from Nineteen New Educational Principles.
Unfortunately, some of what you see on traffic exchanges are other traffic exchanges and get rich quick scams. Try to find out if there i a big audience viewing your websites to buy your products. Traffic exchanges show that an alternative media exists out there which people could be using if they wanted to. I'm not sure why more people are not using traffic exchanges to promote their products.

The Best Auto Surf Traffic Exchanges

Note: We no longer suggest using autosurfs except on a Mac or with extreme caution on a PC. Even with a good virus checker, a trojan blocked message will not prevent some trojans from infecting computers.

Autosurfs are great because all you have to do is watch and not click but because of very vile people there are problems associated with them. You should NEVER surf two autosurfs at the same time because then you will not know which one causes your virus checker to throw up a block. Please report all instances of virus checker warnings to the administrator. If they do not fix the problem, they must be in some way a part of the problem.

There is no reason why governmental agencies should allow hijackware and other trojans that cause websites to display to continue. It is obvious that the websites that are being shown are in part responsible for these problems. Even if they throw out dummy sites to hide detection of who is to blame, a good investigation should clearly prove who is the culprit.

These are also listed in their rank as far as best sites for the top fifteen. After that there is no ranking, but all sites are functional, compared to the hundreds of the auto traffic exchanges one can find out there that are essentially inoperable but still let you sign up.

Don't forget to bookmark us! (This is often done by pressing the Control key with the D key).

These are the same as autosurfs; you use them to gain exposure for your website, they are not recommended to earn money from. Probably all of the paid autosurfs as we knew them were Ponzi schemes that relied on other Ponzi schemes. There were the administrators who knew they were setting up Ponzi schemes, and the ones who didn't but relied on administrators who they thought were investors. (Actually, a later note added about two years after the fall of the major paid-to-surf autosurfs: there are still many out there just like before, so this information is important. Do not give any of these sites any money).

Needless to say, the HYIP's are all scams. According to Wikipedia: "A high-yield investment program (HYIP) is a type of Ponzi scheme, which is an investment scam that promises an unsustainably high return on investment by paying previous investors with the money invested by newcomers."

The definition of a paid autosurf is an autosurf that gives you a percentage on an amount of money for every day you surf. Some of these were free, that is, they gave you $10 in a "bank" to start with, and then paid you a percentage for each day you surfed a number of pages. Your websites would also get seen for the number of credits you surfed. But then in time the $10 would disappear because it was only given for 60 days or something like that. They then wanted you to pay them to keep your website going on their site. The fact is, the paid autosurf idea could be a good idea as an advertising incentive only, that is, an incentive to autosurf everyday, not as a get rich quick scheme, which it is clearly portrayed as, nor is it good as any kind of "investing" scheme. If you want to learn about investing, go to our links page below for many links to free online investing audio websites.

Do not give any of these sites any money. There is too much fraud involved with the paid autosurf industry as a whole even if they are allowed to run their sites outside the U.S.A. You can join a few of them for free website exposure. The SEC closed them all down in the U.S. The ones that are still operating are therefore not regulated. Do not believe any of the "Autosurf Watch" websites that supposedly regulate them.

Literally, hundreds of these sites have come and gone over the last two years. We did not lose any significant money by upgrading any accounts -- the accounts were very long duration which means that one could get comissions and additional benfits by paying only $5 or $10 for a year. This model should be followed. If the administrators want to invest to support this, that's fine. But it should all follow the one-level commission model and not the high interest model. Whatever amount of normal affiliate commission the administrator pays can be bettered by their personal investments behind the scenes, but they do not need to run these traffic exchanges as investment clubs.

I write this in a serious tone because I have grown to enjoy doing traffic exchanges and safelists and I respect the people that own them, as far as I've gotten to know them over the years.

I recently had a dream which I believe was from a higher source making sure that I understood that Traffic Exchanges and Safelists were a type of "marketing porn."

I am wondering what to replace traffic exchanges and safelists with. I have used these for over 12 years. In the beginning there was some results but in the last 8 years, very little at all. I am convinced they are a type of marketing "porn" -- giving people the illusion of something without any of the relationship benefits.

The reason why I am leaving these sites up here is in the vain hope that one day, they might become popular by breaking through the mainstream. They also form a little free "Internet marketing school" that can keep you motivated like you are doing something while you learn about a few of the latest ideas, but there are so many lies that the "porn" aspect of actually thinking you're marketing still makes it worth your while to stay away. I am done wasting serious time with them. I also had one of the highest ranking affiliate sites with my links for over 12 years and made less than $3000 total in that time from them.

The kind of marketing that I am looking for would be the same "non-stress" button clicking type activities that would be heavy on the affiliate benefits -- that is, if you bring in others, you don't have to pay for the marketing involved. I can use pre-written ad copy and paste in various places without any kind of spamming involved

No one knows but a very small audience knows what traffic exchanges and safelists are. They are also routinely dishonest and even "abusive" in the way they treat people. I don't mean rude as far as customer service, I mean them putting sites on hold for no reason, removing your sites for no reason except inactivity, and various other hoops they can put your through. To top it off, they often disappear after a few years. These are not real marketing companies.

No one knows about these sites. They are filled with get-rich-for-sure-or-quick company ads or ads for other traffic exchanges and safelists. There are almost no products sold there except MLM companies.

The technology behind traffic exchanges and safelists was really a breakthrough and could have been huge, but there just wasn't the "charitable altruism" on the side of big players to educate the public about it. And, the owner's of such exchanges are not big enough thinkers, (and here is where I get to use that great expression for the first time in my life) but are content to pick "lower hanging fruit." Most people sadly in life don't truly aim for very high goals. It's not their fault so much because it is hard to survive and people aim at luxury instead of making the world better for many.

You can always make dishonest money if you are willing to sell these kinds of get rich quick products or if you can sell advertising. It's very sad that so many people have been duped by any form of these companies. It didn't have to be this way, but no one with any cross advertising muscle ever gave the platform any real world exposure (like major media telling people about these kinds of sites and what they do).

All numbers of 5,000 or more active users are suspect.
