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!

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.

Just in case you didn’t get the email, here is whats up. As brief a summary as I can write, you know me, I get long winded, my daughter, who lives in Germany, and is a German, is here with her boyfriend for their second visit. Yes, this is a big deal for me. I sent out an email about a week ago, letting everyone know that I will be a bit busy, yes, I am checking sites and approving them as always, but, I am not quite as active as normal, so, the reason for this post is to thank you all for surfing and being patient with me during this time.

Traffic is moving at the normal rate, new members are signing up and everything is going well, Thank You! I haven’t found a lot of issues to address, except to remind you all to allocate credits to your sites, espescially when submitting a new site. I am limited on my time, so when I check sites for approval, if they have ZERO credits allocated, I am not even looking at them, sorry, but my time, for two weeks, starting last Wednesday, the 18th, is dedicated to my little girl, I only see her every two years or so, so, when she comes for a visit, my time is hers. Anyway, Thanks for being a great team!

Many of our members are hard workers and surf very regularly, that is why this traffic exchange is one of the exchanges that are growing, and not shrinking in our traffic output.

Unfortunately, there are many, that just sign up with as many traffic exchanges as they can, they get the sign-up bonus, surf the minimum, and then go away, never to return! For those that do this, we will miss you, but, unless a member is productive, in some way, either referring others, or surfing on a regular basis, it does not do the rest of us any good anyway, right?

If you received the email, with a link to this post, you still have time, just log in and surf a few sites, that will give you a fresh start, and let me know who is serious.

Everyone here that has read my posts, knows that I hate Rules, but, rules are necessary, and any rule that I have put into effect, or ever will, are simple to follow, and are to the benefit of everyone, after all, we are a team here, and a team needs a coach, right? Since I try to get input from all of you, before I make any changes, you will find a new Poll on the Sidebar, in addition to the one about the Surf Timer, you will find one about “Inactivity”, as of now, I have the Inactive list set at 6 months, I believe that if someone goes away for 6 months, odds are, they are not coming back!

Believe me, I do not want to Delete anybody! However, it is something that I have to do! I used to try and surf close to 300 different exchange sites, I was surfing like a fiend, 24  hours a day, seven days a week! Even with this effort, I was not able to surf every site as much as I needed to, so, I thinned out my list and have cut it down considerably, and with my duties here growing, I am still not as active as I use to be, so, my point is, I understand that many of our teammates also surf a lot of different sites therefore are not here as regular as those that only surf a few sites, however, most of these members are also referring tons of new members. Using myself as an example, I am more lenient than many other admins, because I do understand how it is.

Those that either surf a lot, or refer a lot, get away with more than the rest, you know who you are, and of course the upgraded members, you really have it made!

Anyway, back to the point, the new poll will tell me what you think, and I will act upon this accordingly. As I said before, any member that Does Not sign in and surf, at least once every six months, will lose their account, regardless of credits in the account! Believe me, if a member has not logged in, for 6 months, their sites have no assigned credits left! It doesn’t take but a few minutes to log in and surf a few sites, this is what I do on those sites where I still surf, some are once a week, others every two weeks, but the ones that I surf the least, I am there at least every 3 months, so, tell me what you think, post a comment here and vote in the poll, I need your input on this! Thanks!

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!

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!

Why are we surfing? This is a great question, that I am sure everyone has thought about at some time, or at least should think about, because dedicating your time to surfing is a serious commitment.

For many surfers, the reason is simple, to get people to see your site. Ok, this is true, people do see your site, but what if you have a business that has a website, but does not recruit or sell products online? What could this do for you? How can someone, in another country, do your website any good?

To begin with, many people have this “Get Rich Quick” mentality when it comes to the Internet, but, I am sorry, it won’t happen! Yes, they sign up for affiliate sites, all promising riches, pay in the 10 bucks or whatever, work like fiends promoting the site, but nothing happens, why?

If someone walked up and told you, the same line as these sites, or that the SPAMMERS do in an email, with some lawyer in a country not known for being wealthy, needing help to send money? Come on, wire transfers work anywhere that they have banks! If they were really legit, wouldn’t everyone already be rich? Most of this stuff is so obvious, but why do they do it? What does this have to do with surfing?

Ok, I will tie this all together. That group, looking for quick money, are like fisherman, get a line in the water and maybe something or somebody will bite! The possibility of EASY MONEY sounds great, doesn’t it? The truth is, there are a lot of suckers out there that fall for it! Just like a fish biting a fake worm! So, watch out, these sites are the biggest problem on any traffic exchange, but, they don’t realize that they have been duped until it is too late. As hard as they work, they don’t realize that if it is not your domain, registered in your name, selling a legit product and not just a fantasy, then it is somebody else that gets paid, not you!

For those looking to promote any website, traffic is the key that unlocks the potential for your site.

SEO, Search Engine Optimization, is the most important of all, and is actually a simple thing, make sure that your images have titles, and that you have original content on your website, hmm, original, what does that mean? If you have an affiliate site, that looks just like everybody else’s, it is not original content. I don’t mean the template, I mean the text, written by you on your website, that describes what your site is about, that is where the keywords come in. If you have a site that sells dog food, you don’t have a bunch of content about unrelated things, like fishing, unless the dog food is good for feeding fish or something.

Ok, I’ll stop rambling. The way that a traffic exchange helps, other than just showing your site to lots of people, is once you have your site picked up by the search engines, your keywords about dog food and fishing are plentiful, what separates your site from the others about dog food? Traffic! The more visitors to your site, the more important it is! Thus, a higher page rank, which means that someone looking for tips on using dog food to feed fish can find your site easier.

(If you find any site in the rotation that you believe are a scam, report it at the Complaint Department, My policies are clear about these sites, I will let all of you be the judge, if these sites don’t bother you, they don’t bother me, I know who they are, but if they are active surfers, that is all that matters, and if you see a post that I have written, and you don’t agree with it, post a comment and say so. This site is here for surfers and I will do my best to keep out the bad code and such, but complaining about bad sites s up to you!)
