traffic exchange list and tips for surfers

I have recently joined a cool program called TeCommandPost. You might have heard about it already as it's being advertised all over TEs - and that's no wonder, considering all the features it offers for us surfers.

First of all, TeCommandPost is a downline builder for traffic exchanges and related programs. You simply enter your referral IDs and then your TECP referrals will join the exchanges under you. This way you can promote one program - TeCommandPost - and grow your downlines in many traffic exchanges at once.

This alone doesn't make TECP all that special, however. I mean, there's already a good downline builder for traffic exchanges called AffiliateFunnel. No, what makes TeCommandPost unique is the fact that it allows you to monitor your traffic exchange credit balances. You just have to enter your username and password once for every exchange (most popular ones like TrafficERA, StartXChange and Traffic-Splash are supported) and then you'll be able to see how many credits your sites have left on all the exchanges you belong to - all on a single page!

As someone who uses many different traffic exchanges, I really appreciate the time I save by using TeCommandPost instead of logging in to 20 exchanges separately to check how my ads are doing.

If that's not good enough for you, let's not forget that TeCommandPost also allows you to monitor your banner and text link balances, as well as provide optional alerts if you credit balance falls below a certain level that you can set freely.

There's also money to be made. The excellent upgrades allow you to enter more traffic exchanges and referral IDs, provide lifetime banner and text link advertising and increase your commissions. As someone who already upgraded and made more than $100 in commissions in just a few days, I'd like to share a tip with you.

Pay very close attention to the OTO (one-time offer) you will receive when you log on to TeCommandPost for the first time. The Platinum membership it offers comes with unique bonuses and a generous 60% commission rate. If you don't upgrade, you miss this opportunity forever, as inside the members area only Silver ($9.97 monthly) and Gold ($19.97 monthly) upgrades are offered... But no Platinum.

Regardless of that, you will still find TeCommandPost very useful even as a free member. You will be able to connect your TECP account to up to 10 exchanges and command all your TE ads from one page and save a lot of time this way.

If you are serious about earning credits at traffic exchanges, you probably already are surfing more than one of them at a time (and if you aren't, you should start doing that). This way you can earn credits non-stop instead of waiting for the surf timer. Naturally, you should still pay attention to the website and keep an eye out for prize pages or bonus links. However, that usually takes just one or two seconds instead of 10, which is a common surfbar timer. Your surfing will be really fast if you use a modern tabbed browser like Firefox or IE8 and switch between tabs using Ctrl+Tab keyboard shortcut.

This is not all, however. Three excellent traffic exchanges: RoyalSurf, TrafficWitch and Blue-Surf have teamed up to bring you the Elite Surf Club. Now surfing these 3 TEs together will give you increased surf ratios, additional credits on every purchase, tickets into credit drawings and more, free of charge.

I like to think of it as doing something I already am (surfing these 3 great exchanges) and getting something extra with no additional effort. You don't have to signup anywhere - it's all done automatically, as long as you're a member of all 3. Here are the bonuses in more detail:

Surf 50 sites a day at all 3 exchanges at least 4 days out of the week:

• 10% surf ratio increase


• 5% additional credits on any credit purchase


• 1 ticket into the daily 1000 credit drawing

Surf 100 sites a day at all 3 exchanges at least 4 days out of the week:

• 20% surf ratio increase


• 10% additional credits on any credit purchase


• 3 ticket into the daily 1000 credit drawing

Surf 250 sites a day at all 3 exchanges at least 4 days out of the week:

• 30% surf ratio increase


• 15% additional credits on any credit purchase


• 5 ticket into the daily 1000 credit drawing

Even if you don't like these exchanges for some reason, you only have to surf 4 days a week to get the bonuses, and then you can focus on your other TEs. Can't surf 250 sites a day? No problem, 50 sites a day (only 10 minutes of surfing!) will still get you the 10% surf ratio bonus. And power surfers will really appreciate the 30% ratio increase!

As a member of tens of traffic exchanges, I receive a lot of TE news in my e-mail inbox (thank you GMail for the great Filters system). Today I've received several e-mails promoting a new ClickBank product called Clickbank Pirate. Usually I am not one to give in to the hype (in fact, this is only the second CB product I've ever bought) but I decided to give it a try. Hey, if this fails to make me money, I can always start complaining and blame the creators of this system! :)

CBPirate, to put it simply, provides you with professionally designed promotional tools for several Clickbank products. The most important of those are squeeze pages (splash pages with opt-in forms for visitors' name and e-mail). All you have to do is send traffic to the squeeze pages that you are given. In our case, it will probably be traffic from various traffic exchanges - and that's just fine, too. You can also use forum signatures, e-mail sigs, and even PPC advertising if you'd like.

Some of the visitors that you send to CBPirate squeeze pages will inevitably sign up to receive the free information. That's it: your job is done! Clickbank Pirate picks up from here and sends out free reports and promotional e-mails with your affiliate links. This way once you get a visitor to signup, you will keep earning commissions from any purchases they make.

You send traffic... They do the hard work. Sure sounds nice. But will it really work? It all boils down to how effective the squeeze pages are (e.g. the conversion rates), especially when everyone will start using them heavily on traffic exchanges. The Clickbank Pirate membership fee is $47 one time payment + $27 a month, so breaking even should be possible with just a few sales.

I just joined a few hours ago so it remains to be seen if this will work for me. It does look pretty promising so far though, and the idea that all you have to do is send traffic sure sounds nice. I'll keep you updated on my blog.

Go ahead and become a Clickbank Pirate like me. Arrrrrr!

The newest addition to my traffic exchange list is a manual surf site called 247TrafficPro. It belongs to the same owners as two great autosurf exchanges that I'm a member of do, namely 247AutoHits and 365AutoHits so it comes as no surprise that 247TrafficPro is a top notch TE as well. It has a nice professional design, fast surfbar and a number of unique features about which I'm going to write in more detail.

First of all, 247TrafficPro has Hover Surfing which allows you to choose the correct shape on the surfbar without actually clicking it: just hovering your mouse over it is enough, and you can even set the delay in your member options (or disable it if you wish so). Actually, that's what I did since I find clicking to be faster and don't see much point in Hover Surf at all. However, it's nice to have the option and I'm sure some members must appreciate it.

Second, we have Activity Levels in which work similarly to those in StartXChange - but with much bigger rewards, I might add. You get activity points for surfing, referring, simply logging into your account, and promoting. You get a tiny number of activity points for promoting all over the web, and a much bigger amount for showing your referral URL in a special set of "approved" manual exchanges. As for rewards, there are weekly jackpots which combine credits, impressions and cash into one sweet prize. Top 10 members split the jackpot depending on the number of activity points that they accumulated throughout the week.

Finally, 247TrafficPro offers more handy additions that some other traffic exchanges have as well such as Private Messaging, a free rotator for promoting your websites using a single URL, personalized splash pages with your own text and picture, and a downline builder.

Overall 247TrafficPro is a very professional traffic exchange that looks great, loads lightning fast, offers great support and is a pleasure to surf due to responsive surfbar and clean sites. It seems to be a bit under the radar compared to the big boys, but that only means it will be easier to get referrals for you if you join right now. And don't miss the OTOs the first time you login (there's three offers in total - yearly gold membership, 4 months gold membership and an affordable free trial/discount subscription to Bronze which I picked up).

I've recently joined a brand new autosurf called HitLink. I bet you haven't seen an automatic traffic exchange like this before: it's an autosurf, but it also has social networking features such as friend lists, internal messaging, and rating or tagging of sites (all validated sites can be rated + or - by the members; they can also be tagged with searchable tags). We've seen plenty of such features in manual traffic exchanges like TrafficEra, but never before in an autosurf. HitLink also has other features like activity rank which rises from surfing, although that doesn't seem to do anything right now except for the informational value.

HitLink is growing fast. What are you waiting for? Sign up and start promoting your sites right now!
