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
1:1 surf ratio
200 credits added per month
Unlimited impressions for one banner for three months on site and surfbar

Gold - 24.95 for one year
1.5:1 surf ratio
500 credits added per month
Unlimited impressions for one banner for six months on site and surfbar

Platinum - 39.95 for one year
2:1 surf ratio
1000 credits added per month
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

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
Unlimited listed websites
Referral earnings on six levels (15% 1st level, 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1% 6th level)
Ability to transfer credits to other members

My Rating – 9 (scale of 1(poor) to 10 (excellent))

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.

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

2880 additional credits per month
Ability to e-mail six levels downline
2 :1 exchange rate on surfing

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.

Exchange Rate - 0.33 hit per view on basic level

Referrals – 5% on first level clicks, 10% on sales and upgrades

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

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.

Exchange Rate - 0.50 hit per view on basic level
Timer – 15 seconds
Activity Requirements - 50 sites per week to stay priority
Number of sites allowed - unlimited
Referrals – 10% of referral credits for the first four levels, 100 additional credits per referral
Premium accounts - Wholesale accounts $10 per month

1500 additional hits per month (current promo of 4000 ends 5/22/08)
2 free ads in newsletter per month
Bribe page to offer hits as incentives to your downline
Free downloads including website templates, newsletter scripts, auction scripts and more
Free upgrades at Precisehit.com, 7list.com, and awesomesafelist.com ($30 value)
0.75 hits per view on exchange
$10 on all referral upgrades
$0.001 match on referral paid to surf

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.

Exchange Rate - 0.50 hit per view on basic level
Timer – 15 seconds
Number of sites allowed - 1
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
Number of sites allowed - unlimited
Referrals –
10% on first five levels for standard surfbar and homepage surf
0.25 per view on Exchanger views on first level / 0.125 per view for second and third level.
