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 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 two anti-spyware programs that we've used with consistant success are the freeware Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy . All 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 me 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.

Just because the ones above are not here, it doesn't mean that the ones above don't have any of the following problems (especially autosurfs).

Surfs that have gone down recently.

It is important to have a section like this because a user can waste much time signing up for a site that is no longer operational. Some of these site owners do not bother to take their sites down, but will let people sign up, set up sites and so on. Instead of list them all on here, which might have some sign up to them who aren't reading carefully, we've taken them off over time.

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).

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.
