HitSafari Review

Hit Safari is a very simple to use traffic exchange. The members area is easy to navigate and the surfbar is a simple click on the matching image when the timer runs down. With the surfing bonus credits that are earned, the exchange ratio is much closer to 3:4 ( three visits to your site for every four sites you visit). Bonus credits are earned while surfing. A page will show up with the HitSafari monkey saying you are a winner. Click the submit button and you will earn 15, 25, or 35 bonus credits. These pages show up quite regularly so do not miss them.

Hit Safari also has a great exchange rate for banner impressions (50) that is definitely worth checking out. They allow 10 sites to be posted which is pretty reasonable. There are not a lot of extras here but it is a very easy and efficient exchange that I would definitely recommend.

ClickVoyager Review

I almost did not join Click Voyager when I first looked at the surf ratio. Having to visit 5 pages to earn one hit to your page is horrible. But, I had heard some real good feedback on the program so I decided to give it a try. In reality your ratio ends up being much higher due to a number of bonuses that they offer. With the simple bonuses available at the free level, I have found my ratio to be around 3:2 which is a lot more respectable.

There are a number of bonuses available with CV. There are a lot of them so I will list them out.
1 First of all, while you are surfing you will get a prize page with a smiling yellow ball type figure saying that you won a prize. Be sure to click the link to claim your prize because I have won between 10 and 150 credits from doing this.
2. For every 100 pages you surf in a day you get a spin on the CV slots machine which is located in the members area. You can win up to 1000 credits per spin but remember to go to the members area to take your free spins on the day you surf or you will lose your spins.
3. Another prize function is the CV Letter hunt, collect the letters to spell Click Voyager and you will win 100 - 1000 credits. Your collected letters will show automatically under the banner ad on the right hand side of the surfbar. Once you have accumulated all the letters just click the link to claim your prize.
4. Another bonus is the CV points, you earn one CV point per page that you surf and 0.5 points per time that you display any of your referral pages. Your points will accumulate automatically and you can redeem them at any time. You redeem them from the members page and what you are doing is exchanging them to get regular credits. The exchange rate for these credits is 5% to 50% based on what league you are in. The league status is just a function of how many CV points you earned in the previous week. If you are one of the top 200 from the previous week, you will be at more than 5%. These credits accumulate automatically so it is a great bonus.
5. The last and most important bonus is the top surfer bonus. If you are one of the top 200 surfers from the previous day, you will earn a percentage of all the pages surfed by all of the people that surfed less than you on that day. This can be a truly large bonus and I have made it into the top 200 fairly easily.

Now onto some of the other features of ClickVoyager. The surfbar is extremely easy to use with a simple match the number box that shows after the timer runs down. The membership area is easy to use with a left side navigation menu that is very intuitive. All aspects load quickly and cleanly.

There are a couple of other functions that are interesting. You can sell your unused credits to other members or buy additional credits from other members. You can transfer credits to other members. You can create a bribe offer where you offer credits to members to join other programs. If you like games of chance, there is a lottery section where you can buy tickets using your credits and there is a Click Voyage game where you can win over 50,000 credits.

Overall, I think that the site is a lot of fun and offers some very useful features. The basic surf ratio is the only thing that prevents me from giving this site a 10 rating. But due to all of the other interesting aspects and ease of use I am able to give it a solid 7. I think everyone should have a presence on this traffic exchange.

FreeTrafficWorld Review

Free Traffic World is an exciting manual traffic exchange with a growing membership. The exchange ratio and benefits of a free membership are really good. You get a nice 4:3 ratio (you view four pages, three visitors to your site) with up to five sites listed. I find another exciting bonus to be that for every 500 sites you surf in a day you get a $0.75 bonus. With the 15 second timer, you can do this in a few hours while generating great traffic for your sites. They also offer a paid to click area with some $0.01 clicks. FreeTrafficWorld usually don’t have a lot of clicks in this area but it adds into your earnings total. Free Traffic World also offers you the ability to sell your unused credits back to them. They pay out at $20 via Paypal or check. Another bonus is the ability to create personalized splash pages. You can create for yourself a small income stream through this traffic exchange to help out your online endeavors. Any of the upgrade packages just add to your traffic and earning opportunities.

The site functions very smoothly with a nice and clean back office area. The surfbar loads quickly with a 15 second timer. When the timer runs down, simply match the image to move on to the site. Watch for bonus credits, that will show under your images. Simply click on the bonus link and you will win your bonus credits. I have been averaging over 100 bonus credits per 1000 sites surfed. You can also receive credits by showing your referral page to others. This program offers a lot that I have not seen combined in any other program especially in a well designed easy to use format.

WebmasterQuest Review

Web Master Quest is a great traffic exchange to add to your rotation. The 1:1 exchange ratio is excellent. They let you have an unlimited number of sites and banners for your account. They have a simple but effective surfbar with a 30 second timer. When the timer runs down, you simply click on the matching image and you are off to the next page. They have anti cheat pages that show up occasionally. These are well defined by a stop light image on the left side of the page. When you get one of these pages, simply click on the correct image and you will earn between 2-100 bonus credits. Failure to complete the pages can eventually lead to account suspension.

Another incredible feature of this program is the affiliate exchange program. With this program, you can offer some of your unused credits to other members if they join one of your affiliate programs. This is a great way to get people to join your programs and try them out. You know the exact cost to get this sign up and you can offer whatever amount of credits you want.

This program also offers incredible statistics reporting. They are able to give you the geographical location of your hits received. The number of unique hits you are receiving. They also give you the number of hits by day, screen resolution of viewers and browser used. With your banner impression they are able to give you your click through stats so you know which banners are working for you.

I absolutely love this program. The extra features and report details are incredible. The exchange ratio is amazing. The affiliate exchange program is something that can become an integral part of building your referrals in numerous programs. WebMasterQuest is an essential program for anyone looking to build online income.

TrafficSplash Review

At first glance, I was not overly impressed by what Traffic Splash had to offer. My attention was immediately grabbed by the very low 3:1 surf ratio on the site. This is offset by some very good bonuses that they offer. They offer you a series of bonuses that you can earn by surfing each day. The first bonus is that for about every 15 pages that you surf you will go to a bonus page where you win on average 4 credits (there is a link on this page that you have to click to claim the bonus). The second bonus is that if you surf 30 pages you will be entered into a drawing for 100 credits with three daily winners. The third bonus is that if you surf 100 pages, you can claim either 1,000 text ads or 500 banner ads. At 250 pages you can claim 4,000 text ads or 2,000 banners. At 500 pages you can claim 7,000 text ads or 3,500 banner ads. The 100, 250 and 500 bonuses are not cumulative and you can only claim one of these per day. To claim these bonuses, you need to submit a quick help ticket telling them what you want to claim as your prize.

If you are using traffic exchanges, you should be using the banner ads as well. Most sites convert credits to banner ads at about a 15:1 ratio. So by just claiming your bonus after 100 page views, you basically are receiving the equivalent of 33 additional credits (500/15). This brings your exchange ratio up to respectable 3:2 ratio. Surfing to 100 pages and beyond is very easy due to the quick 6 second timer.

You need to remember that the timer is only six seconds when submitting your sites. This exchange is definitely geared towards quick loading splash type pages. If your site does not load quickly, you will be wasting your hits on this site. However, with the quick loading sites you will quickly gain a lot of exposure.

The program site is very easy to navigate and fun to use. You can assign your credits to your sites either manually or automatically which gives you a lot of control. The surfbar is extremely easy to use. All you have to due is match the color of a dolphin icon to the right one on the surfbar and it automatically starts to load the next page. Their support staff has been great and answers any submissions promptly. Overall, I think you should give this one a good look. If you are planning on surfing 100 plus pages on an average day, then it is a must. If you do not surf that many pages on an average day, then it may not be the best fit for you.

GladiatorHits Review

Gladiator Hits is a very nice looking traffic exchange that is easy to use and navigate. Once the timer runs down on the surfbar, you just match the image and you are automatically on to the next page. The members area has easy link on the left hand menu bar and it is very easy to add your sites and banners. The gladiator theme is kind of fun and it keeps things interesting.

The only problem that I have with Gladiator Hits is that it has a relatively low 3:1 surf ratio. This is somewhat mitigated by some of the bonuses that they offer. A question page shows up about every 15 pages. They ask a true or false question (they give the answer on the page). When you answer correctly, you earn 3-5 credits. Failure to answer correctly multiple times can lead to account suspension. There are also opportunities to claim free credits that show up underneath the matching images on your surfbar. You click on the message to claim the free credits. Another bonus is that as you surf, the letters on the phrase EntertheColloseum begin to turn red. Once the whole phrase turns red, you earn 100-150 bonus credits. In the end I find that my ratio is actually above a 2:1 ratio.

Overall this is a fun and easy program that is nice to have in the traffic exchange rotation.

HitKingdom Review

HitKingdom is a very simple and easy to use traffic exchange. The 2:3 exchange ratio (you receive two hits to your site for every three sites that you view) at the free level is fairly decent. The surfbar is easily understood with you matching a picture at the end of your 20 second timer. They allow you to insert as many sites as you want into rotation with manual credit assignment (provides excellent control). They also provide a free site rotator for you on their account page (for use with other traffic exchanges that do not provide unlimited sites). The only draw back to this program is that it is not very flashy and the referral earnings are not fantastic. Overall, it is very solid and easy to use.

Exchange Rate - 0.67 hit per view on basic level
Timer – 20 seconds
Number of sites allowed - unlimited
Referrals – 20% on first level, 12% on second level, 8% on third level
