QualityPageViews Review

QualityPageViews is a new manual traffic exchange from the owner of SmileyTraffic. The latter has long been one of my favorites (and one of the more profitable TEs on my list), so joining QPV was a no-brainer. The new site runs on LFMTE script with several mods. You have your basics like banner and text link conversion, free rotator, personalized splash pages, letter collection game, and downline builder. Then there’s also a few more original features: Average Surf rewards, ViralTrafficGames integration, Hangman game, and a Top Promoter contest.

The free membership offers a reasonable 0.4 surf ratio with a standard 10 second timer. This can be boosted to 1.5 credits per click and just 3 second timer with the QPV Extreme membership. The members homepage has a helpful table outlining the features of all three plans (free, Enterprise, and Extreme). The paid plans have a fixed cost and there aren’t any OTOs available., but you can save a little by paying for the whole year in advance.

How to Make Money with Autosurfs

Many people new to autosurfs join a few sites, surf them for a while, and then leave because they don’t know how to actually turn their traffic into money. Manual TEs also have a similar problem, but at least there’s numerous guides and advice available online about monetizing traffic from those (e.g. “use your credits to build a list”). With this in mind, I wrote the following post on the top 5 ways to make money by autosurfing.

Please note that only legitimate automatic traffic exchanges are listed here. So-called “investment autosurfs” are nothing more but ponzi schemes, and should be avoided. In addition, please remember not to use autosurfs with any ad networks like AdSense – build a basic splash page instead.

Free URL Rotator

What Is a Site Rotator and Why You Need It

A site rotator is software that picks an URL from a list (either randomly, or based on priority rules) and displays it to the visitor. Rotators are very useful when you want to promote multiple websites using a single URL or do some split testing. If you are a TE user, for example, and want to promote 50 splash pages while the exchange only allows up to 3 websites, you will want to use a rotator. Also, when adding a new URL, you will only have to do it in the rotator itself, and not in the 100s of traffic exchanges that you are a member of!

A sophisticated URL rotator will not only be able to rotate your sites randomly, but also assign priorities (so you can show selected pages more often), track statistics, and even filter domains (meaning if a visitor comes from “site A”, we do not show him pages that advertise “site A”, thus saving credits).

There are a lot of options when it comes to rotators. You can either host your own URL rotator script, or use one of the many online services. When choosing an online service, you usually want to make sure that the maximum number of URLs allowed is enough for you, and the additional features, such as hit tracking, are included.

Autosurfs Do Work, and Here’s Proof

You’ve probably heard people saying that autosurfs don’t work, that the traffic they send is useless, and so on. I’m going to try and convince you otherwise with this post, and I have some stats to back my words up.

I’ve run StatCounter on this page (which I promote heavily in autosurf exchanges) for a week. Here are my hit statistics:

Autosurf Visit Stats

According to StatCounter, the page in question has received 415,518 views, 283,682 (or 68.27%) of which were unique visitors. Now, StatCounter is pretty nifty as it not only counts visits, but tracks exit links (or clickouts) as well. This allows you to see which links are getting clicked the most, and calculate the overall CTR of your page if you wish. Except, since autosurfs don’t work, I won’t be getting any clickouts… Right?

Legacy Team Coop Review

It seems traffic co-op sites are popping up one after another these days. The newest one is called Legacy Team Coop, and it’s growing very fast for being launched just a few days ago. Seeing how it’s owned by the same folks that run LegacyHits, you know it’s going to be a reliable and profitable program.

The way it works is the same as Explosive Traffic and TE-JV that I wrote about before: you promote your JV link (basically a massive rotator with other members’ sites) in traffic exchanges, and in turn, other members of LTC promote your websites. This allows you to show your promotional pages to surfers of TEs that you aren’t a member of. In addition, you can also promote banners and text links, although those have to be purchased for cash.

Just like with Explosive Traffic, at LTC you can view your traffic sources and block the ones you don’t like. Sources like autosurfs are, of course, banned automatically. This should result in high quality traffic. So far my credits are being used at a fast rate, and Trck.me shows I’m getting 71% unique hits.

Upgrades are quite affordable (starting from $3 a month) and give you higher earnings per view, monthly credits, as well as increased cash commissions. There’s also a pretty good OTO you’ll get once you login for the first time that I recommend taking.

If you plan on using a traffic co-op at all, I suggest joining Legacy Team Coop as soon as possible and start promoting! It’s always a lot easier to get referrals when the program is new.
