Traffic Pods passes 7,000 members mark

2 weeks after the launch, Traffic Pods passes the 7,000 members mark and currently is the most efficient manual surf program out there! Their return rates are superb and members activity is good as well.
The program had a great start and is expected to grow steady.

<<
In this update ....
1) Over 7,000 active members ... and climbing!
2) Pod Points in Reserve ... Some great news!
3) Weekly competition ... coming soon.
4) February will be HUGE! Watch for news on the upcoming promotion.
********************************************

1) After only 2 full weeks since the official launch, we are very pleased to report that the active TrafficPods memberbase has now passed the 7,000 member mark! And better yet, we have nearly 200 new members joining every day. This means there are always new people coming into the network and this translates into a constant stream of NEW visitors to your site. So get in there and earn some great free traffic!

2) We have some great news that you are going to love! All members will now also receive 50% of their Pod Point reserve EVERY TIME they get to a super pod (instead of having to complete a level, for standard members). Of course, Pro members will continue to receive 50% of this reserve at the end of each week as well, just as it was before. This means that it is quite possible to release 50% of your reserve every day if you are an active surfer, and this means more traffic more often!(***Pro members should note that this new rule only applies to the Pod Point Reserve balance and NOT the Pod Reserve which will still have 50% released at the end of the week following the repositioning of the pods).

3) Starting next week (on Sunday Jan 23rd), there will be a weekly surfing competition that all members will be able to take part in. The competition will reward the top surfers every week. Stay tuned for further details which will be released in the next few days.

4) Members had better warm up their mouse because February is going to be HUGE. With all kinds of Cash and traffic prizes up for grabs, the competition is bound to be fierce! Stay tuned for more details on what promises to be an exciting month!
As always, we wish you the very best in your endeavours and hope that you will continue to choose TrafficPods for all your advertising needs.

Traffic Pods member update

Traffic Pods celebrates a very successful launch. Their return traffic is great so far. This is what they have to say:

In this update ....
1) An incredible launch ... thank you!
2) What will happen tonight at midnight?
3) What to do with all those pod points.
4) What to expect in the next 24-72 hours.
********************************************

1) We would like to thank all members for their hard work during the pre-launch phase. Your dedication and tireless efforts truly made this one of the most successful launches ever in the traffic exchange industry! With almost 6,000 members now confirmed, TrafficPods is already in a position to deliver some of the highest quality traffic available and it is only a week old! Plus, with over 200 new members joining every day, you will have a constant stream of new people to show your website to. Just imagine where we will be in 6 months! It is going to be amazing!

2) As we come to the end of the first week, you may be wondering just what will happen tonight at midnight (PST). Well, if you are familiar with one of our other websites (ts25.com), then you will probably have a good idea since it is quite similar. At midnight on every Saturday, the Traffic Pods (these are the ones that are owned by the Pro members) will be repositioned according to their value in the ranking. You can view the ranking of all the pods by clicking on the Pod Ranking link from the members' area. This will then establish the new order of the pods for the following week. Pro members that own a pod will always keep their Pod Reserve balance no matter where their pod is moved to, but the bonus rate may be different depending on the position you get. So, it is definitely important to keep your value up so that you can get a top spot in the ranking. Pro members should also note that their pod value will be reset at midnight to allow for a fresh start in the new week. This means that if you are at the bottom of the ranks in one week, you can launch to the top of the ranks in the next week by simply working hard. And we can all see just how valuable it is to get toward the top of the rankings.
As for members that are not yet upgraded but are considering it, we would like to remind you that when you upgrade you will get the very next pod in the sequence and any pod points that are in that pod's reserve will be yours as well.
Also, all Pro members will have 50% of their Pod Reserve balance and 50% of their Pod point reserve balance released into their available account tonight at midnight. These pod points are then available for immediate trading.

3) So, what are you supposed to do with all these pod points? The answer is simple ... you trade them in for even more traffic! Any pod points that are in your available account are ready for trading. Simply go to the trading page (from the link in the right hand menu) and enter the number of pod points that you would like to trade. The trading rate is listed just below the trading box and your pod points will be converted into credits at this rate. You can then use these credits to set up your traffic campaigns.

4) Over the next 24-72 hours, we will be adding some additional things to the site. Things like FAQs, tutorials, and additional help material explaining some of the finer details will become available over this time. We will also be monitoring the number of pod points released and traded in order to determine the best possible formula for establishing a true floating rate that will move dynamically with supply and demand as members trade in their pod points for traffic credits. This will add an exciting component to the site and will allow members to potentially get a much higher trading rate if they can time it right.
Once again, we would like to thank all members for making TrafficPods such an incredible success and we look forward to providing you with the very best product and service in the industry for years to come.

Sincerely,
Traffic Pods Admin

Understanding Autosurf - The Basics

This is a quick guide to autosurf programs, nothing more and nothing less.

Even if you have been online for a couple of years, autosurf programs may be new to you. They are a means of online marketing along with banner exchanges, traffic brokering etc. and supply a way to drive visitors to your website. The major difference between the common ways of traffic generation is that you, as the webmaster, participate actively and basically "share" your power with other webmasters instead of spending money on marketing your site. You don't buy, you don't sell - You trade with other webmasters who participate in the autosurf program.
Such a program can be seen as a big circle of webmasters who view other websites in order to see hits on their own sites. The motto is always "give and take".

Autosurf stands for automatic surfing and means that new websites load (even in the background) without the need to watch the process or click links on websites. For each website that is shown to you, you earn credits which, in turn, can be used to show your website to potential customers. A system like this of course requires some sort of software in the background.

Most autosurf programs run directly off the company web server and do not require you to install any third party software. A web browser is all it takes to participate in the program. As a Microsoft Windows user you automatically have a web browser installed, the Microsoft Internet Explorer, but there are alternatives on the market which are suited better for autosurfing such as Mozilla Firefox. This browser is a very good choice if you are new to autosurf programs. It comes with an integrated popup-blocker and is in general more resistent towards malicious code that could interrupt your online session. Furthermore it also supports tabbed browsing to increase speed and efficiency in surfing for credits because you can load several autosurf programs into a single Firefox instance.

Once you joined an autosurf program, you can add the website you want to advertise to the system. From now on your site is available through the autosurf program and can be viewed up to thousands of times per day! These are real pageviews and not banner impressions that probably lead to a click. Your whole website is shown to all members of the autosurf program from now on including everything that is part of the site: all text, all links and all ads. Yes, you read that right: You can make money from autosurf programs!

At the end of the day, Autosurf sites are very similar to the common webmaster exchange programs like banner exchanges, pop-up exchanges and ordinary link exchanges. However, the main advantage over these types of webmaster programs is efficiency:
By joining an autosurf exchange, you can...

...trade live visitors
...send visitors directly to a product information or sales page to maximize profit
...make money by banner clicks and sales
...promote any type of legal website
...easily add and remove sites anytime through simple web administration interfaces
...promote websites for free!

so far, so good. the next article will explain some more advanced autosurf settings and shed some light into major misconcepts of autosurfing.

Traffic Pods launching today

Traffic Pods

Although rather a manual surf than an autosurf program, I am listing Traffic Pods today because their site goes live in about 2 hours. You can register but not surf for credits yet. The site itself is organized in a certain number of "Pods". A Pod is a group of members which, if they are all active, can receive a great amount of traffic. The whole system is sorta competitive so you can be sure that you will only cut it if you are actively surfing...
Once you make it into the top Pods by surfing a lot (or buying the Pro membership of course) you will get major traffic not only from your downline but also from the other Pods.
Well, this is the system in a nutshell. It's a bit more complicated than this but oh well, go have a look at it :)

First look:

Autosurf.org - 2500 credits special

AutoSurf.org

This autosurf program can make you up to 216 hits per hour, that's over 5000 pageviews per day! They accomplish this by using a 10 second timer, much less than other autosurf programs. Currently they run a special which gives you 2,500 free bonus credits but their usual freebie is 1,500 credits which aint bad as well. AutoSurf.org has all the bells and whistles including the ability to add and view erotic sites in the system. However, these are seperated from the mainstream sites.

First look:
