Today we find ourselves in an ever competitive world, every day, more and more people are turning to the internet to hunt for something, anything that can help them make a little more cash, but sadly, all they end up finding are get rich quick scams and rip-offs. Regretfully, traffic exchanges are by nature a promoter of this type of website.

Every webmaster wants to push their websites to the top of the ladder, and some will do this by hook or crook. No, I am not writing this to target anyone, but to make those that are unaware of the risks many of these websites bring.

There are sites with virus or spyware, sites that harvest email addresses so they may SPAM you to death. I do my best here to keep these risks down to a minimum, but, after they have been approved and activated, these things are added, so, they manage to slither past, but, if they stay in the rotation very long, there are mmany of our members out there that will report them and I WILL SUSPEND THEM!

Website traffic is a double edged sword, by promoting your site on a traffic exchange, you open yourself up to these SPAM and Malware sites that harvest your email address, or break the rotation to take you to a site in the quest of getting better Google or Alexa ratings, but, in actuality, many of these sites are not even taken seriously by the search engines, they are known SPAMMERS, and yes, traffic from a traffic exchange is SPAM traffic, when done in excess, I know, I used to have many sites on hundreds of exchanges, and yes, a few years ago, it did work, but not any more. Google looks at your site as a SPAMMER when it gets most of its page-views from traffic exchanges.

If, traffic exchanges are bad, why do I have one, you may be asking, because, if the traffic is of at least 30 seconds per visit, it is at least counted as a real visit, anything faster than that is not and will hurt your rating, if, it is even counted as a visit. This site was created to help “real” websites get exposure, not just traffic, unfortunately, to keep it all rolling, I have to allow some of the “other” sites, and I thank any and everyone that surfs here, and I give you my word, that the hit and run or sign-up and run members, will not get their sites activated. If you are a regular surfer, you know who you are, I do my best to keep your sites activated, I check at least once a day, if possible, but, I know, sometimes a site will be added after I have already checked, so it seems like two days, sorry about that.

My plea to you all is to keep the junk down to a minimum, I know that you have just recently signed up for some miracle website that is going to guarantee you whatever amount of money, good luck with that. I know that we all work very hard, and surfing is a pain in the butt, but, if you see a site that is interesting, take a closer look at it, there may be something there for you or someone you know. If you see a site, that you know is a scam, report it as such, I know, I got burned a couple of times myself, it happens, so, report it!

Getting traffic to a “real” website is my goal here, not to promote, or somehow endorse any of the “junk” sites that may end up in rotation here, so, be careful, think twice before you give up your money, or even an email address, it could be a bad decision.

Another important issue: If you take the time to sign-up and surf, ALLOCATE CREDITS to your sites, if not, I will delete them, if you can’t take the time, neither can I, so if you sign up, then come back and your account is gone, sorry, but I have to keep the “waiting” list clean for those that do, the list gets long, and trying to weed out those that have surf from those that have not is tough enough, and many of these that do get deleted, never even know it because they don’t come back.

OK, maybe I am just in the right mood, maybe it is part of a plan, either way, it is better for everyone! I am once again, changing a few things, that should be better for everyone.

As I stated in my last post, I am no longer surfing hundreds of sites, only 3 or 4 now, to be, almost exact. The first of course is TrafficComplex.com, the second is ShalomAutoHits.com, and the third is AutoHits.dk, why you may be wondering? These are the only other 30 second autosurf traffic exchanges that I know of, I have been a member there for a while and many of you here have signed up, thanks, but, in the past, I felt that more is better, and that if one combined 30 second sites with others, it would be ok, I no longer feel that way.

Yes, I could still have many credits on hundreds of sites, but, I am going to abandon them! Yes, I surfed, I earned them, but, these quicky hits did me no good. So, I am no longer surfing them.

The sites listed above are thirty second sites, but if you allocate 1000 credits, they will be gone in seconds! Why? Because they have that many members! The one, autohits.dk, has been around since the beginning of surf sites, as a matter of fact, that could be the very first one! So, what is my point?

I am going to move this site in that direction, if it has kept them around for that long, and they have that many members, members that surf as much as theirs obviously do, I am going to try and build up this site the same way. Those of you here with tons of unused credits may be happy about this, those that only surf here and there, it will not bother you, so, it will hurt no one.

You may have noticed the 1:1 ratio, that is but the first part! The surfbar bonuses will remain as well, though slightly less often. The referral bonuses are staying the same, if you refer a new member that surfs the required minimum. (I would recommend signing up at those sites listed)  For the New Members that sign up, the INITIAL bonus is 100 credits, once they surf that minimum, they will get the 3000 hits credited to their accounts.

For those surfing here now, I am sure that you are happy with this change, for those yet to come, it will also be a great place, so, lets get out there and promote on the two sites listed above. Place your referral pages on those sites and bring in some new blood! The members of those sites are happy there with 30 seconds, and NO Bonuses, we have bonuses! Want more?

Over the next few days, I will be coming up with new pages that advertise this site, on those sites only, if you work with me, and put your referral pages there as well, we will get more quality members to help us out! So, what are you waiting on, go sign up at those sites listed above now, and do not forget the referral page! When you sign up you are offered a bunch of credits for a special price, I bought them, it is a great deal, just one word of warning, DO NOT allocate all of them at once, not only will it crash your server, they will all be used up in just minutes! Oh, and they allow sound, so, if you surf at night, turn your sound off!

Every once in a while, we all have to make decisions and choices, that do not, at first, seem to be fair. I have to say, I have noticed that these choices are doing something, yes, obviously the volume of traffic has gone down, seemingly drastic at first, but now, not so much.

As selfish as it may sound, my workload has gone down, but, the productivity has gone up! If you are keeping stats on your site(s) you may soon notice a few changes, I know that I have since I cut out the quicky hits.

For those that have always had a low PR (Google Page Rank) and are only interested in getting more bodies to sign up for your “plan” or give up their email for one scheme or another, no, these changes will not do you any good, but, for those that are here, promoting real sites, with real products, these changes could be important.

Since requiring a New Member to surf 500 pages at 30 seconds, instead of 100 pages at 5 seconds, the new members are surfing more, and more often, thanks, and even some of the older members are coming back and surfing, now that the traffic is of better quality. As you know, I used to surf literally hundreds of exchange sites, I worked myself to a frazzle, just surfing, I have promoted literally hundreds of other exchanges, but, that is no more!

Where I used to get maybe 20 or so, organic or search engine referral visits to my sites, I am now seeing hundreds, from 2-10 % on one, up to 45% ,  54%, with direct traffic, that tells me that the powers that be, Google, are now seeing my sites differently. I have one, that when it debuted was a PR4, then rather quickly went down to a 2, and yes, Google did change up a bit, but now, due to the better traffic, I am expecting it to go way up.

So, for those of you with “real” websites, keep up the good work, it will pay off in the long run. For everyone else, thanks for surfing and looking at our sites, without you, this site would not produce as much, I hope that those with the “other” sites would just get real ones, with real products, or as in my case, just be something besides a scam.We have many new members, that are offering good sites for us to view, and now, we have a great 30 seconds to look at them!

Well, it is done! I sent out emails, yet we still had many that didn’t come back and login and surf, so, all but the ones that are obvious referrers, meaning, they had well over 10,000 credits on their account, have been deleted. I am going to guess here, but I believe it was somewhere around 50-60 members, that is a pretty good chunk, but, I had to do it to clean up the database so that the surf will run smoothly for the rest of us.

Now that we a consensus on the time limit established, the next step is to clean up the “undesirable” websites. As the rules clearly state, there are certain types of sites that are NOT allowed.

You must Surf at Least 500 pages WITHIN 24 HOURS OR YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED!

NO SOUND!, Adult, PTP, PTC, Get Rich Quick, E-mail Harvestors, or SCAM Sites will be approved, so please don’t submit them!

VIOLATORS SITES WILL BE SUSPENDED! ONLY ONE ACCOUNT PER USER!

It is time for another poll, as always, the poll will be there for everyone, it is up to all of you to help me on this, and it will go beyond just the poll. Last night, while surfing, an ADULT site popped up! I am sorry if anyone here saw that and was upset by it. How did this happen? The site was listed as a “Make Money” site, and, when I activated it, it was! This was a blogger site, so, as is this part of this site, the content is subject to change at any time. This leads me to be suspect of other sites of that type, however, it is just like a gun control law, ‘guns don’t kill people, it is the people that misuse the guns that kill people’ so no, a blogger site is not bad, but, and this is where the poll will come in, a “make money” blogger site could be.

We have many members that have legitimate business websites, and that is for whom this site was built, but, a surf site is controlled by the numbers, simple math, we have to have members that surf! Also simple math, is the fact that most of the accounts that were deleted, were of that “make money” group, the user had signed up, surfed 100 pages, and disappeared, see where this is headed?

The new poll that you will find in the sidebar, will address the different types of sites and you should select all that apply.

I know that many of you are promoting these “questionable” sites, so, you in particular need to vote in the poll. As the poll will reflect as many types of site as I can think of, I may miss something, so, just contact me and let me know if I do. This poll is a more serious poll than the others, as it effects many of our current members, and many of the new members yet to come. Don’t worry, I am a fair person, and as always, the final decision will be somewhere in the middle of the poll results, that is why it is so important that everyone votes! If you don’t vote, then your opinion will not be reflected in the results. So, please, everybody VOTE!

For those still reading, you are the more dedicated surfers here, as many will not even read thia, those that do, and make it this far, will be the ones that make the decision, and will be of the most assistance in the next part, the reporting! Yes, the reporting, that has been the basis of the rules on this site since the beginning, it was and is, up to you, to report a site that you find violates the rules! I thank you all for understanding, this site is not just another surf site, this site is a “team” site, you do not get paid to surf and you do not get credits just because you fill out a form.

NEW RULES!

From now on, NEW members WILL NOT receive bonus credits upon sign-up! There will also be no referral bonuses on the new members signing up! OUCH! I can hear it now! The way it will be, from now on, NEW MEMBERS MUST SURF 500 PAGES at the time of sign up!

Referral Bonuses will also be applied, once the new member has surfed the required 500 pages! The bonuses for showing your referral pages will remain the same, it is just the sign up bonuses that will be effected. This may sound a little bit harsh, and yes, it will stop some from signing up, that is ok, it is these members that surf 100 pages and go away. You may wonder why the referral bonuses are included, simple, there are those that, refer themselves and then disappear!

I have seen a pattern, a new member will sign up, surf 100 pages, get a referral or two, that also surf 100 pages, yet they apply all of their credits, sign-up and referral bonuses, to identical sites, and then go away! Yes, we have all seen that the same site shows over and over, that is one reason why. I have allowed it to this point because they have surfed the required 100 pages, but, this will happen no more!

Those that truly are referring know this well, it takes time to get a referral, maybe a friend will sign up, but identical sites, listed in the same way, with the same amount of credits? Yes, it is obvious! So, after I publish this post, these changes will go inte effect and I will create the poll, then, an email will be sent. I hate to be so strict, but, as always, things get abused, and the rest of us are the ones that suffer, however, this WILL NOT change anything for our team players, you will get your referral bonuses, it will just add more work for me! So, keep on referring! Keep on surfing! We will keep on getting our traffic!

I have saved the worst for the last, but, if you are here for quality traffic, traffic that will help your site, and not just a bunch of pageviews by the same person, which Google and the others, look at as SPAM, the surf timer must be changed, sorry. I like to see that my site was visited 2 or 3 thousand times a day too, but, those of you that wish to truly help your website, and not just throw a bunch of crap in the wind, this will be good news to you!

Let me explain, anything less than 30 seconds, actually hurts your sites pagerank (PR)! In the early days of this site, the timer was set at 30 seconds, and one of the sites I have in rotation, had a PR of 4, after 6 months or so of the 5 second timer, that site has a PR of 2! That is not the goal for those trying to help their site! So, as of now, the surf timer will be set at 30 seconds! You will see less of the “questionable” sites, and it will weed out those that are here to just “hit and run”! Yes, we will lose a few members over this, but I would rather get 1 good visit to my site than 6 bad ones, I hope that you feel the same, if not, we will miss you, and I am sorry, but I have to clean this site up.

Hey everybody, we did it! A new Milestone has been reached! The total was actually a bit higher, but I caught it right on 600,000, I believe it got up to 600,090 or something before the last day on the list rolls over to zero, anyway, we did it!

I lost the last pic, when we first broke 500,000, so I was careful not to miss this one! So, I want to thank everybody for surfing, and second, I want you all to know that the “Hit an Run” sign-ups have slowed down almost to zero, that is good news. For those of you that surfed and I mean surfed a lot, you are all wonderful and are the ones that understand team-work and dedication and it is definitely appreciated by everyone that has a site in rotation. If everyone surfed like that it would be something, but, I know that most only have a short amount of time to spend here. We have a Forum and Chat area where we can all get together and talk about whatever, but, it does not appear that anyone ever uses either one, nor does anyone post any comments, although many do at least sign up here on the Blog. If anyone has any ideas on how we can bring this community together, post a comment with your ideas and suggestions. OH yeah, it looks like many of you have not voted on the time limit for deletion of those that are not active, but it would appear that 1 month has gotten the most votes, and 3 months the second most, as of right now, until the end of March, I will leave it at 6 months, I will be sending out a warning email at the beginning of each month, I would hate to remove members that are referring but haven’t signed in. I try to look out for that, but we have a lot of members now, and I need to keep the database clean, so, it must be done. Anyway, thanks again for surfing, Keep Up The Good Work!

Have you ever gotten bored, surfing? Hey, I have! I get so bored that I almost quit! I have to admit, surfing is about as boring as it gets!

During this time of year, it gets even worse, as we all try to get those last few days of sunshine before winter totally takes over, but, now is the best time to get your site and surf account established! Why? Because, once winter does get going and dominates our lives, we will all be forced indoors looking for something to do!

Ok, I am in Texas, but I have been watching for years, and once it gets cold, people stay in and surf! Yes, in Texas, winter is about two weeks long and starts in January, maybe, but everywhere else, it gets too cold to, hang out at the lake, or play in your yard, and everyone goes online and looks for ways to promote the websites that give them something to do in the winter! My point being, if you have a website, and want to get it going, now is the time to start promoting it!

Traffic increases do not show results immediately, it takes steady, consistant, and at least monthly increases to improve your status! So, get busy! Signing up here, and surfing, will get you more traffic to your site! However, signing up here, or anywhere else, and not surfing, will get you no where! I know for sure that if you sign up at TrafficComplex.com, and do not surf, your account WILL BE DELETED!

Many want to sign up and get the FREE 3000 Bonus Credits and then disappear, this will not happen here! I can assure you of this! Every new member must surf at least 100 sites, just to get their sites activated! The next step is steady regular surfing, and if you don’t surf, your sites WILL NOT BE SEEN! So, come on, if you take the time to sign up, SURF!

We have a great site going here, regular members that surf, new membersthat surf, and steady traffic to all of our sites, so, lets have a great winter, and surf!

I am sure that I am not alone in this, but I hate Rules! I am the kind of person that just tries to do what is right, without having to follow any stupid, stinkin’ rule! Unfortunately, there are those that will not do what is right, even if there is a Rule!

I am sure that you have noticed that I have been sending out a weekly email titled: New User Weekly Update (Read This)

What this is all about is pretty simple, new members not following the RULES! I hate having to send this email, it is a pain in the butt to have to be like a Daddy telling the kid what to do!

New Members Must Surf! This is a biggie, when a new member registers, they are required to view at least 100 pages to get their sites activated, but, from now on, there is a time limit! New members must surf those 100 pages within 2 days! That is more than ample time, it only takes less than an hour, so get surfing, those members that haven’t surfed the required amount, within that time limit will be deleted!

That is what was written previously as the Rule about new members not surfing, but this “2 Day” requirement is too hard for me to keep up with, so, I am changing it to this. Every Tuesday I will send out the above mentioned email warning new members that they must surf the required 100 pages or their account will be DELETED in about 24 hours if they do not surf.

Hey, I am a nice guy, this site is here to help everybody, I don’t want to delete or suspend any sites or accounts, but I have to, it would be unfair to the members that do surf if I just activated everything! Most of our new members do surf at least the required 100 pages, but every week I have about 3 or 4 that don’t, and most of those register over the weekend, usually Friday night for some reason, then never come back!

I send out a welcome email, most of the time, and warn them at that point, and most do come back and surf, but, those few that don’t clutter up my control panel and make it a pain in the ass to even look at the other new sites, so, every Tuesday afternoon or night, I will be sending this “Last Chance” email, then after 10pm, central time, on Wednesday night, these “Inactive” members, will lose their account. I am sorry to have to do this, but that is the way it is, if you want to be a member here, Welcome to the Team! Just like any team, there are always those that get cut, it is not personal, it is just for the good of the team!

If you wonder what the rules are, the main rules are everywhere, like on the Registration and Login pages, but here is a link to the Blog Posts about the Rules, check it out, and if you have any suggestions or comments, write them, I value your input.

If you have a WordPress Blog, and you want a simple way of Exchanging Links with others, this Plugin does it! You can Download it here and for any questions, go to to the authors site here. As usual, there were a couple of little bugs, but all the kinks have been worked out now!

If you would like to exchange Links with this site simply find the button above that says “Link Exchange” and fill out the simple little form. Here is one tip, get the code for your site first and then come back and fill out the form. If you have a blog it is simple, just add a link to TrafficComplex.com in your Blogroll, then fill out the form and you are done, I will take a look, make sure it isn’t SPAM or something and approve it.

Remember, Reciprocal Links, or link backs, whatever you want to call it are one of the most important things you can do to improve your sites status (PageRank) on the search engines, so, get busy!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE MUST BE A VALID LINK BACK OR YOUR LINK WILL BE DELETED!

Submit a link request to a junk site or have no back link your site will be deleted

In case you have never heard of it, there is a plugin, called CommentLuv, that will automatically add a link to the last post of your website, if you use the same email address as you used to write that post.

If you have a blog, and you sign up here, use that same email address when you register and write a comment here! You will see a little checkbox below the comment area, if you do not want to share the post from your site, simply uncheck that box!

However, if you want to add a link to your site, from this one, leave it checked! So, lets all get traffic to our sites, post a cooment and share your views with the world!

CommentLuv is one of the best plugins available, if you have an opinion on my posts here, simply write a comment, and it will ink back to the last post your wrote on your site! Also, if you like this CommentLuv Plugin, tell everyone about it, this is the place to share your experiences.

In the case that you have used the commentluv plugin and do not like it, share that as well!

The whole purpose is to create awareness of your sites, and to share “TheLuv”!

The records are being broken, this screen-shot is from a few days ago but is a good representation of what is going on here! We are staying pretty consistent, Great Job!

As I promised, I sent out a bonus to everyone for a job well done! The actual high water mark is 314,186 Sites Shown, so, where can we go from here? Well, I imagine after all of this effort dedicated to TrafficComplex, many of you may need to focus on your other traffic exchanges so we could have a bit of a slow-down, but I hope not!

The next goal is 350,000, that is an extra 35,874 or just over 5000 a day more to get there. Those of you that are super-surfers, great job, but pretty much everybody pitched in, those of you that didn’t, you know who you are. Just imagine, if ALL of us surf the way that many have, that 350K hits will be easy, so, come on everybody, log in, allocate credits, and surf! We can do it!
