Surfing Around the Traffic Exchanges

One of the Traffic Exchanges that I really like is Soaring4Traffic which is owned by Ray White. From the beginning I have felt quite at home with Ray. This is an exchange with a difference because Ray has introduced his surf console, which is a great idea. Also I found Ray to be a very responsive and innovative webmaster.

One can pick up bonus credits by surfing, but there are many times when I have missed the bonus because I have a trigger clicking finger. In other words, I am clicking the little icon before I discover that I am up to the page where I am going to get the bonus credits. The bonus is an incentive to keep surfing, especially when it is worth 7 credits at a time.

Now there is another incentive to keep on surfing. At the present time, every time we surf 100 pages there is also a cash bonus of $0.50. So far I have collected $1.50 in cash from surfing 300 pages. This is the same amount of bonus that I am receiving at Surf Kyrnaware, and my trigger finger can also help me to miss picking up the cash bonus.

There are many good reasons for using Soaring4Traffic, including the fact that Ray controls the sites that have audio and video added. Sites such as Yuwie really do spoil the enjoyment of surfing the Traffic Exchanges and it is good to find an exchange where this kind of site is either kept at a minimum or is not allowed. This is yet another reason why I give Ray, the owner, the thumbs up.

One of the new kids on the block is an exchange called Surf Krynaware and it is an exchange that is quite different from other TEs. First of all, you earn cash with this site and instead of withdrawing the cash through PayPal or some other payment method, the cash is used within the site. One of the benefits of this system is the ability to get a 60 day upgrade for $5 of earned cash.

Now the big news here is the surfing contest and the bonuses that are to be found whilst surfing. At the present time you can earn $0.05 every 10 pages surfed on the manual part of the exchange. If this is not good enough then you can also win some cash for placing in the surfing contest. It can be quite a surprise to be place and win some cash without really trying.

The script used by this exchange is the same as a lot of others, and with the same symbols. It is a very good script and the time between page loads is quite fast.

With the announcement that Logiscape was introducing a new Traffic Exchange, there was a hive of activity of advertising as myriads of people tried to get sign ups. Since I was not a user of any Logiscape Exchanges at the time I had no idea what to expect. The roll out in January and through February was quite slow, and finally Traffic Era went live.

As a newbie to traffic exchanges I did not know what to expect, but decided to join just to have a look. This new exchange has introduced some new concepts, such as groups and although not completely new, team chat, as well as the ability to blog about one’s experience. There is also a messaging system so you can communicate with anyone in other teams. The team idea was in fact something very new to me because all of my surfing up until joining Traffic Era had been individual and not in a team.

What is good about Traffic Era is the interaction with other team members. It is a way of connecting with others, and what is really important it has been a way of networking with like minded people, that is those who have been setting up home businesses so that they can have some form of independence from the usual work day routine, or retirees who are looking to getting some income to keep them going in the future. This form of networking is a way of discovering what works for people in regard to making money on the net and what has been an outright failure.

Since I am a newbie, at this point in time I have no set goals as far as making money on the net is concerned. However, I am being exposed to more an more opportunities and some of them are a lot more viable than others. I will be frank here, I am not interested in matrix style opportunities. I am not interested in beach bums or lawn chair millionaires. They are things that take your money and one would be lucky to get anything in return.

The team concept is a good idea but it is also time consuming. I have changed teams a couple of times and I am now back with my original team, by choice. I have been in a team that has won the race for clocks and I know the adrenalin rush that comes from the excitement of being in that top 5. I know the disappointment of not being able to get enough clocks and credits. At the same time I have enjoyed the team chat as well as the fun that we have because we decided not to chase clocks but to chase wabbits. A wabbit is the Elmer Fudd way of saying “rabbit”. It is a lot more fun to chase rabbits, and it contributes a lot to team talk.

As a result of joining Traffic Era, I have also joined the other Logiscape sites – TS25, TrafficPods and HitPulse. I can now appreciate the concepts behind Traffic Era and how these concepts have been developed. Since it is so expensive to become an upgraded member I am remaining a free member until such time that I can earn sufficient Logibucks to afford the upgrade. This is one idea that helps those of us that simply cannot afford such high fees in the first place, but it takes a lot of effort to earn those Logibucks.
