Recently there has been a lot of new members trying to get sites with auto-play sounds approved, but, sorry, that will not happen if I can help it.
What I define as “Auto-Sound” is quite simple, it is any sound, from anything, that automatically starts when you visit the website. If the site has a “Click here to listen” option, that is ok, but not anything automatic!
First, you may wonder why these sites have sound, that is simple, it is kind of like when you are watching TV and then the commercials come on, louder than the show you were watching! It is to get your attention and make you look at the site!
Second, you ask why these sites with “Auto” sound are not allowed, this is because NOBODY wants to hear it! Most surfers are trying to surf, and don’t want to be bothered! Imagine, you are surfing at night, while sleeping, then some site pops up with a blaring announcement, or cha-ching cash register sound, or worse, and it wakes you, or your family up! I heard one on another site the other day while surfing and it was a very loud ‘HEY WAKE UP” along with some sort of sales pitch for a get rich quick site!
Most people that have ever had this happen know exactly what I mean! It is an unneccesary noise! For those of you that want to add one of these sites, there are many traffic exchanges out there that allow it, I WILL NOT! All that happens is that it makes others mad, not to mention me! If you have a traffic exchange that allows these sounds, post the info in a comment so these people can find you. Just know, that when I get slapped in the head with such noise, I stop surfing, even during the day, I don’t want to hear it and neither does anyone else!
I have never seen a site using this tactic that was worth listening to anyway, I am here to surf and get traffic, not to hear some sales pitch! So, turn the sound off, or make it an option for those that may be interested, or DO NOT SUBMIT IT HERE! If one slips through, usually by adding the sound to a site after it has been approved, please submit an abuse report, or make a note of which site it was, which browser you are using, and email me, or use the contact form, and I WILL SUSPEND THAT SITE! Sorry, don’t want to upset anybody, but that rule is not flexible!
The reason we are all here surfing is to increase traffic to our websites, right? There is one thing that many people may not know, but here it is.
What is a SURF PARTY? Well, just like any party, it is a gathering of friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and even strangers, all with one goal, have a good time!
Ok, anybody that has read almost anything I have ever written, knows that my day off consists of a period starting about 4pm Friday until about midnight, before and after, I am here, online, doing something. Yes, during this time, I drink beer with a buddy, who makes
Many of you may have noticed that the traffic exchange was down for about 24 hours, maybe you are as curious as I am as to why this happened, and what actually happened. I have no idea!
This isn’t a normal Friday post, there is are a few things that I need to address now, before it gets out of hand.
Just in case you were surfing and got that Site Suspended error, like I did, calm down, it is ok!
Ok, we did it! Just as I checked the stats, it passed the 100,000 mark! That was our goal for last week, and we did it with room to spare, there are still several hours of surfing left today!
Hey everybody! As I am writing this, after just checking a few stats, there is one thing I can tell you, this traffic exchange has teamwork! We have many new members, which sent about 40-50,000 bonus credits, to our referring members! Not to mention the per page viewed bonuses, right now set to .2 credits for each page view! Now is the time to join other traffic exchanges, publish your referral page, and recruit some new members! Why that, do you ask? Simple, the fewer opportunities there are to choose from, the more likely it is that you will be the one to get the referral!
