Welcome to Traffic Exchanges Review

Welcome to the Traffic Exchanges Review. There are a so many traffic exchanges out there with very few user reviews of the services provided. That is why I am asking for everyone’s help in completing reviews on some of the major traffic exchanges. I ask that everyone comments relevant to the review post with advertising limited to the signature line. All non-relevant posts will be deleted. If you want to share information on other traffic exchanges, please use the general comments link on the right. Let’s all work together to get the most out of the available traffic exchanges.

HitSafari Review

Join HitSafari

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.

Exchange Rate - 3:1 (much better for most surfers, see above)

Timer – 6 seconds

Activity Requirements - none specified

Number of sites allowed - 5 sites, 5 banners

Referrals – 5% on referral clicks, 10% commission on Pro upgrades

GladiatorHits Review

GladiatorHits - Traffic That Defies The Competition

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.

Exchange Rate - 3:1

Timer – 15 seconds

Activity Requirements - surf 5 pages to activate, inactivity for 2 months will result in suspension

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
Premium accounts -

Silver - 15.95 for one year

Platinum - 39.95 for one year

Unlimited impressions for one banner for twelve months on site and surfbar

Banners - free impressions with upgrade

My Rating – 7 (scale of 1(poor) to 10 (excellent))

TrafficSyndicate25


Traffic syndicate 25 is a very different type of traffic exchange. The first thing that is different is that you do not earn any credits from the clicks of your direct referrals. There are some bonuses from referring others but this might me a great program for you if you do a lot of surfing but do not have a great referral downline. When you surf a lot, TS25 will create a downline for you.

The system is a little confusing but here is my best understanding of it. If you join as a free (silver) member, you will be placed in what is called the syndicate pool. The pool is made up of only silver members. Every week, at least the top 25 members of the syndicate pool are upgraded to the syndicate downline (this is where you can earn huge credits) at absolutely no charge. The top members of the syndicate pool are determined by adding surfing credits (1 credit per surfbar view plus bonus credits) and credits earned from direct referrals (250 for gold, 500 for platinum). Some of the bonuses that count towards surfing credits are large. If you uncover the letters to spell SURFING, you will earn 50 to 1000 credits. Remember, at this level you are only competing against other silver (free) level members.

At the end of the competition week, you are placed in the syndicate downline if you are one of the top members of the syndicate pool ( atleast 25 chosen ). One immediate benefit of moving to the syndicate downline is that you will start to earn 2 credits per page view. In the syndicate downline, you will be placed in a syndicate of 25 users, this is your team. Your syndicate is then ranked based on surfing credits, bonus credits, referral upgrade credits and reserve value (see below). This ranking of your syndicate will create your downline with all lower ranking syndicates below you. At the end of the week, your syndicate earns additional credits based on the following:

Reserve from previous week (see below)
250 credits per gold member
500 credits per platinum member
5% of the personal value (surfing credits, referral upgrade bonuses) of all members of your syndicate.
5% of the personal value of all the syndicate members from syndicates ranked below you for up to 100 levels.
Any bonus credits earned by your syndicate

Take the sum of the above and 50% is carried forward to next week as the reserve for that syndicate and 50% is evenly distributed to all members of the syndicate.

As you can see, there is the chance to earn massive credits as a free member without getting any referrals. You do need to have a large number of surfing credits to get into the syndicate downline and getting into the syndicate downline is essential if you are going to make this worthwhile. Once in the syndicate downline as a silver member, you will need to earn atleast 2000 credits per week to stay in the syndicate downline (about 1000 surfing views minus any earned bonuses). If you do not have money to invest in an upgrade or don’t have a network to create a good downline this is a great way to earn a lot of hits in a quick manner.
The site is very clean and easy to navigate and the surfbar is a straight forward match the number. I have really enjoyed my time with this site. Remember, if you do not plan on surfing enough to get into the syndicate downline then this is probably not the site for you but if you are this is a truly fantastic program with a unique opportunity. I give it a 6 but only because it is a 10 if you are in the syndicate downline and a 3 if you are not.

Exchange Rate - 1 credit per view ratio on silver (free) level but read above as it can be much higher. The value of a credit is that it takes 5 credits to earn a hit to your site.

Timer – 15 seconds

Number of sites allowed - 3 for silver level (free)

Referrals – 250 credits per week for 1st level gold upgrades, 500 credits per week for 1st level platinum upgrades, 50 credits per week for 1st level silver members in syndicate downline (see above)

Premium accounts -

Gold - 14.99 per month
3 credits per surfbar view
1000 bonus visitors to your sites added per month
Immediate entry into syndicate program (see above)

Platinum - 24.99 per month
5 credits per surfbar view
2000 bonus visitors to your sites added per month
Immediate entry into syndicate program (see above)

Banners - 1 credit buys 2 impressions

My Rating – 6 (scale of 1(poor) to 10 (excellent))

EasyHits4U Review

Popular 1:1 Traffic Exchange

EasyHits4U is a very nice and simple traffic exchange program that can deliver an amazing amount of traffic to your site. The surfbar is simple and easy to use. Once the timer runs down you just need to click the appropriate word or answer. The 20 second surfbar gives you a 1:1 ratio and the 15 second surfbar is a 2:1 ratio. The ratio is much better on the 20 second surfbar but some choose to use the 15 second one due to a nice bonus they offer. You earn $0.50 for every 1,000 sites you surf with a minimum payout of $3 (you also earn $0.10 after a referral surfs their first 100 pages). Once again, this will not make you rich but it is a nice addition to the program. They offer a nice banner conversion rate of 16 impressions per one credit if you want to advertise a banner. The upgrade is fairly inexpensive and offers some nice features.

Overall, I really enjoy EasyHits4U due to its ease of use and traffic volume. I think it should be added to the traffic exchange rotation of anyone.

Exchange Rate - 1 to 1
Timer – 20 seconds
Activity Requirements -
Number of sites allowed - 5, unlimited with upgrade
Referrals – five levels (10% 1st level, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1% 5th level)
Premium accounts - Upgrade $5.95 per month

500 additional credits per month
1000 banner impressions per month
Up to 100 free bonus referrals per year
Up to 2500 bonus credits with upgrade

Ability to transfer credits to other members

Traffic Swarm Review





TrafficSwarm is a interesting twist on the standard traffic exchange. Unlike a normal surfbar the program offers a search function of sites and a listing page of member sites with descriptions and clickable credit links. Once you click on one of the links, it brings up the member site with a 20 second timer. You earn credits from loading the startpage or clicking on the links. Each link earns you 1-1000 credits (usually it is 1-5) so if you are real lucky you can earn a lot of credits quickly. Your account gets charged one credit when the link is display on the surf page. So your exact ratio of traffic is variable. You will also receive 100 free credits when you sign up after earning your first 50 credits.

I think that this variation on the traffic exchange will get you better quality traffic to your site than what you get with many of the other exchanges. The anti-cheat functions are different as well. On the page that lists the clickable links, they will have links listed as some variation of Do Not Click. Clicking on these links will result in account suspension. They also limit each user to clicking on 250 links per day so even if someone developed something to cheat the system, they wouldn’t be able to burn through a bunch of other users credits.

The program is very efficient and easy to use and I believe that it offers great results. The standard referral package is not great as you earn credits for startpage loads on your first five levels. You do not earn credit on your referral clicks. This changes if you upgrade your account. But I believe this program offers quality to your referrals so you will be better able to retain them and build a better downline. Overall I would highly recommend this program due to the quality traffic and ease of use.

Exchange Rate - varies, see above
Timer – 20 seconds
Activity Requirements - Accounts inactive for more than 60 days will be deleted

WebBizInsider Review



WebBizInsider is a nice and simple traffic exchange with one drawback. The program offers a very good exchange rate of one visitor to your website per one page viewed which is great. The surfbar is very simple and it seems to me that it would be very easily autosurfed so your page views may not be of as high a quality as with some other exchanges. This would be a drawback but I still feel this is still a very worthwhile program. The referral system is pretty decent and the upgrade program is a pretty good deal especially with the free referrals. The problems I have with this program is that it delivers the hits so rapidly that you have to wonder about the quality and the surfbar is so easy to manipulate that you feel that no one is actually looking at your pages. This is a great program to just drive traffic numbers but not with the quality traffic.

Exchange Rate - 1.0 hit per view on basic level
Timer – 15 seconds
Activity Requirements - unknown
Number of sites allowed - 1
Referrals – 10% of referral credits for the first six levels, 100 additional credits per referral
Premium accounts - Premium accounts $20 per month

2880 additional credits per month
Ability to e-mail six levels downline
2 :1 exchange rate on surfing
5 members added to your downline each month
10,000 banner impressions per month

TrafficRoundUp




TrafficRoundUp is a nice looking program that is real easy to use. Unfortunately that is about where all the praise for this program ends. The exchange ratio for this site is very low. The referral earnings are extremely low. The upgrades do not offer much for the price. I really wanted to like this program but I can not give it a good rating. I will still give it a four as it is still an honest and easy to navigate program.

CashClicking Review



This site is not currently functioning and has been moved to Under Review Category

CashClicking is a nice traffic exchange that offers you a unique offer with the chance to sell your earned credits. Most traffic exchanges do not allow you to sell your credits. CashClicking encourages this activity though they require that you purchase a selling license in order to do this. These licenses are available starting at $5.

The main reason that I enjoy CashClicking is the ease of use. The site is easy to navigate and the surf bar is easy to understand. When the timer on the surf bar runs down, all you have to do is click on a matching number to go on to the next site. The exchange ratio is not great but the referral credits and the premium accounts offer nice bonuses. Overall, due to the ease of use and the credit sale options I would recommend this traffic exchange program.

Exchange Rate - 0.50 hit per view on basic level
Timer – 30 seconds
Activity Requirements - must log in every 30 days
Number of sites allowed - unlimited
Referrals – 10% of referral credits for the first five levels, 5% commission on referral upgrades and license purchases

TopSurfer Review



I think that TopSurfer is a good addition to the rotation of traffic exchanges. While it does not have a great exchange rate on the surfbar it does offer a lot of other services that make it worthwhile. One thing that they offer is the e-mail advertising that you are automatically signed up for. You receive e-mail advertisements to your inbox and click on a link in the e-mail. After a short timer runs down you receive five credits. You must provide a valid e-mail when you sign up and they are not optional. But if you do not want them, just create a separate e-mail account for them and only check on them when you want to as they do not require that you read them. I recommend reading these as you can gain a lot of hits very quickly by using these. I can clean out my inbox in a few minutes and easily receive 75 hits from this.

Another great aspect of TopSurfer is the number of outlets that you can utilize your credits on. If left alone, your credits will translate into views of your website through the surfbar. You can also convert your credits to banner impressions, link impression (short text impressions on the surfbar), newsletter ads, autosurfer ads or incentives to your downline. Depending on what you are advertising these can be a phenomenal offer for you.

My favorite part of TopSurfer is the variety of surfbars that are available. The earn money surfbar is my favorite as it rewards you with $0.01 (current promo of $0.02 ends 5/22/08) for every 35 pages surfed. You also earn an additional $0.001 from your referrals when they hit 35 if you are a wholesale member. If you are going to surf anyway, why not earn a little money while you are at it. Other surfbars include surfing to earn a solo e-mail ad, game surfbars that earn you additional hits when you win, chat surfbar, radio surfbar, double up surfbar and even a plain old surfbar.

I really like the wholesale account that is offered by TopSurfer. The additional advertising is valuable. The free downloads with the wholesale membership are actually pretty good. The bribe page that lets you offer credit incentives for action is actually a great value. The earnings from referral money surfing can also add up at a decent rate.

123Clicks Review



I joined 123Clicks a long time ago and I do not really understand what this traffic exchange is all about. The basic idea is that by having all paid members the program will draw more qualified advertisers which should help out all of the members. Basically, I found that I paid for a membership and received very little in the way of benefits. The website is confusing with very little in the ways of program explanations. There is a lot of talk about the ARP which is apparently some sort of doubler program when you buy advertising. I made a small purchase on this and saw no returns and there is no real explanation of what happened to my money in the account section. I would not recommend this program to anyone at this time.

Timer – 15 seconds

Referrals – Referral views do give additional credits but I could not locate information on exact amount.

TrafficG Review


TrafficG is one of the most popular traffic exchanges out there and it is easy to see why. They offer an excellent 1:1 exchange rate on their surfbar. So for every site that you view, you sent one viewer to your website. Once you view the site for 30 seconds, you click on the proper image and you earn your credit. There are random skillcards that come up in the website view that you must complete by clicking on the right image. Failure to complete the skillcards may result in account suspension. The system works smoothly and is easy to understand.

You can add an unlimited number of your websites to your account. From within your account, you assign your credits to the website that you want. You can also add banners to your account and assign credits to them.

TrafficG offers some other methods to earn website hits. There is a startpage surfer that you can set as your homepage. There is no timer for this option and you earn one hit for every two times you open the startpage. There is also a banner exchange that you can run on your computer and earn one impression for every two impressions viewed.

TrafficG is the standard to measure other traffic exchange sites by. The site is exceptionally smooth with a very good reward level. They offer some great partner sites including a free website rotator. This traffic exchange should be in every ones rotation.

Exchange Rate - 1 hit per view
Timer – 30 seconds

10% on first five levels for standard surfbar and homepage surf
