Surf 30 Frequently Asked Questions
 

Traffic Exchange Basic 101
Traffic exchanges are everywhere. A traffic exchange is a clever way to get hundreds or thousands of visitors to your website. The concept is very simple and the exchange process is easy to put into action. First, you join a traffic exchange program that includes individuals with websites to promote. Next, you set up the website you want to promote. Finally, you visit the websites of the other members and they visit your website in exchange.
  

What Types are there?
There are both free and paid traffic exchanges. Some of the exchanges are good and some are not so good. They come in two basic flavors: manual surf and automatic surf.   Surf 30 does not promote Auto Surf Exchanges so we will concentrate on Manual Exchanges. In the manual surf mode, you have to visit a website for a minimum period of time (usually 20-30 seconds) and then click on a button or designated symbol or number indicated by the exchange that you are on. You then get the credit and move on to visit the next website in the rotation. You earn credits as you view more and more websites.

The Surf 30 software maximizes your time by allowing you to have up to 30 exchanges on the software at one time. You can then maximize your time by not sitting watching pages tick by for 20-30 seconds.... you are earning credits!

A traffic exchange will expose your website to many Internet users on a worldwide basis. As a result, the exchange can possibly give your website a lot of hits. Visualize the traffic exchange in the same manner you would view a TV. The exchange provides you with websites to view similar to watching TV commercials.
 

What are Credits?

The basic traffic exchange program works on the "credit" principle. You earn a full or partial "credit" every time you visit another member's website. In turn, you lose a full credit whenever another member visits your website. The typical exchange allows you to earn from 0.5 to 1.0 credit for every visit you make to another member's website. Some go as high as 5 credits per page view! That is called the exchange rate.

You can usually obtain credits on the traffic exchange by:

  • Viewing the websites of other members
  • Referring other individuals to join the exchange
  • Purchasing credits from the exchanges' webmaster.

If you purchase credits, you generally have a higher rate of conversion of credits earned and/or purchased versus credits used when you receive visits from other members. You have greater control over how you use your earned credits when you pay to receive credits. It is possible to get a display rate of your website that exceeds 1.0 for every 1.0 credits you earned or purchased.

As an example, in the basic free mode you might have to use 2.0 earned credits to display your website 1.0 times to other members. This is a 0.5 exchange rate. Depending on the traffic exchange and the number of credits purchased, you can increase the exchange rate up to about 2.0 displays of your website to other members for every hit you receive.

Surf 30 already has many Traffic Exchanges loaded already and even has the ability for you to add new exchanges.

  

Can I refer people to generate hits?

Some exchanges offer a sign-up bonus (free earned credits) to encourage you to join their traffic exchange. This enables you to start getting visitors to your website immediately.

Most exchanges have a referral program where you can earn credits for the people that you refer to the traffic exchange program and their surfing activity. As a bonus, you may receive a certain percentage of their earned credits. Your down line levels may be unlimited or limited depending on the traffic exchange structure.

Surf 30 also give the person that introduced you credit for the referral so that when you join any of the Traffic Exchanges they will get the referral credits.

You have the ability to enable or disable your own website for viewing by other members. If you enable your website, other members can view your site and thus consume your account credits. If you disable your website, other members cannot view your website and you conserve your credits. This allows you to continue to surf the other member websites and build up your available credits for use at a different time.

  

Can I show more than one page?

The traffic exchanges specify whether or not you can have multiple websites for display. However, you can only display one website at a time if you are permitted to have multiple websites. You can specify how many of your earned and/or purchased credits can be applied to each of your websites.

Most traffic exchanges earn money from the "purchase credits" feature they offer and from advertisements. In general, an exchange member can specify whether or not they want to see popups, adult or erotic websites.

Some exchanges let their members sell their earned credits for cash back to the traffic exchange. The rate of conversion from earned credits to cash is controlled by the webmaster of the traffic exchange.

  

How to get the best results from free traffic exchanges?

Basically, the way to get the maximum value from these traffic exchange programs is to join as many of them as possible to get the free traffic they give you for joining. After you have done that, you need to get other people to join them so that you get the free traffic bonuses awarded for referring new members.

Your website design and the time it takes for the website to load are very critical when using a traffic exchange. Your webpage will never get viewed if your site takes 15 seconds to load and the exchange rotates the websites every 15 seconds. You want to have at least a 10-second viewing window to give the surfing exchange member time to respond to your webpage presentation.

Keep your website clean of unnecessary clutter. You want your visitor to make a quick decision whether to ask for more information or pass on your offering. 

Make your displayed website short and simple. Do not send your visitors to the sales page on your main website. Provide a killer headline followed by supporting bullets and ask for their name and email address. 

Don't make it complicated.

Put the lure on the fishing line and give your visitors a chance to say "yes" to your presentation. You need to get your message in front of your visitor quickly. Capture their name and e-mail address. You will 
have plenty of chances at a later time to market to your list.

Surf 30 further enhances itself for you by offering professional capture pages all set and ready for you through our Capture Page ICON.  If you have your own you are of course free to use what you have but remember that you can generate all the traffic imaginable but if your capture page does not grasp the interest of the viewer the hits won't help.

Traffic exchanges can bring you a lot of traffic. It will take some work but the increase in your own opt--in list will provide constant inspiration. You should consider the benefits gained from traffic exchanges if you have the time and proper motivation.
