traffic exchange list and tips for surfers

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!

This time I'd like to introduce a french autosurf that I joined recently. It's called nice autosurf and it really is nice since it is very active and has over 100,000 members (meaning more unique hits for you!). Even if you don't know French (I don't) you should manage to signup and find the link to the surfbar (it's called "Lance la visionneuse pour gagner des points"). If you run into any problems, you can always use Google Translate to make sure you understand what the site says. After you signup, it's the simple deal of starting the surfbar from your bookmarks just like with any other autosurf.

You might wonder why go through the trouble of signing up at a French autosurf, when there are so many English ones around. The thing is, if you are promoting traffic exchanges which give you credits or points for showing their referral URLs on autosurfs, you want to show them to a broad and fresh audience, and more importantly, you want unique IP hits. Same deal with PTPs where you want as many unique IPs as possible. That's why it's usually a good idea to get hits from other countries such as France or Germany. Besides, most Europeans are usually taught English as their second language in schools, so if you show your English website on a French traffic exchange, chances are, most people will understand what it's about.

365AutoHits.com autosurf has been brought back by the owners after a long downtime. The site now uses a modern automatic traffic exchange script that allows you to access the surfbar directly without having to login, and my favorite feature: ability to convert credits into banner or text link impressions. The designers and programmers are still working on the site so some parts might be incomplete, but it's already looking great.

If you're out of ideas of what to promote in an autosurf, just save up credits and convert them to text link impressions. While CTR will be quite low (and understandably so), you won't have to spend any effort in earning the credits.
