IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS:
You must add minimum of 100 credits to your url BEFORE Admin will test to see if it can run on the surf PLUS you must surf a minimum of 100 sites before your url is approved. If you add 5 urls, you must surf 500 sites. This is a very easy do on the Auto Surf. We are happy to provide free hits, visitors and traffic to our members sites - however, we need members surfing to make that happen.
Greetings and thank you for joining our Exchange. If you are new to traffic exchanges, they are unique internet advertising specialties that help you send traffic, or hits, to your websites and domains. Traffic and hits are generated by people rotating sites through a viewer which is called surfing. There are basically two types of surf: one is called auto surf, the other is manual surf. Our Pt-Scripts exchanges are both.
Auto surf is a powerful tool for sending hits, or visitors to your site. However, those who auto surf are not captive audiences. It is rather like turning on your radio or television - as you do what you will around the house. You do not always pay attention yourself to the sites being rotated. However, the search engines still record all those hits, which help you in ranking.
Manual surf is a great vehicle for getting members to actually view your site. Because the surf is on a timer, and because members have to actually click on something in order to move on to the next site as they surf - sites have a better chance of being viewed by human eyes. Whether those people actually respond to your site is another matter entirely.
As both types of surf are valuable to your e marketing efforts, we recommend you use both venues. Which ever it is you decided to do, please surf. Surf is the life blood of any exchange. It is what rotates the sites and creates hits for EVERYONE, including you.
We wish you all the best as you use our exchange to further your online business. We do have rules all members need to abide by in order to keep the exchange healthy and safe for all members. Below you will find articles, faqs and information we hope you find useful as our member. We appreciate you taking the time to read about this exchange and how you can use it to your advantage. As mentioned above, this exchange is BOTH an auto as well as a manual surf venue. Both types of surf are valuable to your online marketing. Both are different and serve different needs with different results. Both types of surf have rules governing them. The rules come as a result of several key factors:
- demands of surf timers
- demands of outside venues
- compatibility of sites with the surfbar
Here you find information which we hope will help you use this venue to your satisfaction. You will find detailed articles on this website.
TOS and FAQs:
We are Credit Based Only:
When you surf, whether auto or manual, it is for credits only. We do not pay you to surf. Credits fuel your own personal marketing with our exchanges: the more you surf, the more hits you will ultimately receive for your sites.
Email Requirements:
All members must enroll with, and keep, a valid email and white list the exchange to receive Admin and Sponsor Mail. Members with bouncing email or who set their email to reject exchange email will have their membership removed without notice.
Member Mail:
Members can email their sponsored members once every 7 days.
Activating Your Account:
Once you enroll, you are sent an email with an Activation Code. You must activate your account before you can log in. If you did not receive your activation mail - please white list the domain, then go to the website and click on the Resend Activation icon. Once you receive that email and activate your account, you can log in.
Lost Password:
If you have lost your password, you can request the script send you that via email. Find the Lost Password? icon on the main page, click on it, fill in the information and send.
Minimized Surf:
You can ask Admin to set you to minimized surf.
No Multiple Surf:
The script does not allow for multiple surf windows.
Auto Surf:
Auto surf is just that: the venue SURFS for you - no clicking required. Members choose the auto surf and let it run. As of 1-1-08 the Auto Surf timer is set at between 5 and 10 seconds depending on the venue. Because of the fast surf, it will not support sites with auto-launch Audio, Video or other items which slow the loading time of a site. If you have a site with auto launch video or audio Please add it to the Manual surf only. Do NOT add it to the Auto Surf.
Strength:
Easy do for surfers. Not time consuming like manual surf which requires the member to click on SOMETHING to load the next site for viewing and credit. Because of the ease of this type of surfing, this is a solution for webmasters and bloggers wanting to send a large amount of hits - aka traffic - to their sites.
Weakness:
Members are NOT captive audiences. They surf multi windows and tend to wander off during the surf.
What to Expect:
Lots of hits to your sites - good for the search engines. Little, sometimes no, viewing by members. Expect hits. Don't expect sign ups.
Note: It is NOT a venue for everyone or every program. Most auto surf requires very fast loading websites. Most auto surf can not support audio or video websites. Most auto surf cannot support sites with adware, google adsense, and other similar venues. Sites with redirects - like tiny and viralads - tend to be banned. Many programs BAN auto surf. Always check with your program on their policy BEFORE adding your link to the auto surf.
Manual Surf:
Manual Surf requires the surfer to CLICK on something. That something can be a number or character once the timer runs down to 0. Surfers cannot simply let the surf run on its own. Surfers must actively click on something thus ensuring they actually view a site - even if only for a second. As of 1-1-08, Manual Surf timers are set to 35 seconds - good to support slow to load sites with self or auto launching Audio and Video. Manual surf is acceptable for sites with the My NetAudioAds play per play ad codes and will support both the 5 second and 30 second audio ads.
Strength:
Surfers - aka members or viewers actually SEE your site and can HEAR what is going on with it. Depending on the surf timer, can be an option for sites with audio and/or video. This the choice for sites with self or auto-launching Audio ads, audio in general, and video.
Weakness:
Time consuming. Sometimes deceptive. A site may have thousands of members but YOU are NOT going to reach them all. The best to expect is a fraction of what your credits will allow you. Example: you have 500 credits. Exchange has 5,000 members. The best that can happen is you will possibly reach 500 members - only 10% of the population. Statistics rule for sign ups to your chosen program - especially if many other members are also marketing that same program. Also, 500 hits to your site/s does not help your search engine marketing.
What to Expect:
Views to your sites - good for sign ups depending on the membership itself and the saturation of the program you are promoting. Very little hits to your sites for the Search Engines. Good for your pay to play audio ads and sites with video.
Note: Many programs which ban auto surf will allow manual surf. Always check with your program concerning their policy on Manual sites BEFORE adding your link to the surf. If they ONLY allow Manual Surf, be sure to CHECK THAT OPTION when you add your link.
Sites With Audio:
Manual surf best supports sites with Audio. The auto surf sites have fast timers which do not do justice to sites with audio. If you have sites with Audio, please open a manual surf account and run the sites there. Note that My NetAudioAds only allows sites with their audio ad snippets to run on the Manual Surf.
Sites with Video:
Manual surf best supports sites with self-launching Video. The auto surf sites have fast timers which do not do justice to sites with video. If you have sites with Video, please open a manual surf account and run the sites there. Note that My NetAudioAds only allows sites with their audio ad snippets to run on the Manual Surf.
Pay Per Play:
As of 1-1-08 it is our understanding that while My NetAudioAds WILL allow you to advertise your sites and links for Affiliate sign ups on Auto Surf exchanges, they will NOT allow you to market your sites with the Audio Ad snippets themselves on Auto Surf.
Please place sites which have Audio Ads on them in MANUAL SURF ONLY. This will avoid conflict with My NetAudioAd's policies.
Pop up and exit pages:
We do not allow sites with Pop ups, exit pages, slide in ads or dialog boxes. All these venues are seperate links independant of link you add to the surf. When those pages pop or exit or slide in, they are not captured in our reporting system. Because of ABUSE with these venues - mainly people adding unacceptable sites after the parent site was approved - we do not allow sites with these items. If any member adds these items to their pages AFTER their site has been approved is subject to suspension and possible ban across our Exchange Network.
Framebreakers:
Any site which stops the surf, interrupts the surf, or otherwise interfers with the surf is called a framebreaker. Not Allowed.
Adult Content:
We do NOT allow Adult content or pornography. We have a ZERO tolorance in this matter and any member attempting to add such will be immediately banned from our entire Network.
Redirects:
A redirect is a site, a page or link, which only SENDS or redirects the person who lands on that page somewhere else automatically. They are not allowed due to abuse. Tiny urls are a form of redirect and not allowed.
Rotators:
A rotator is a website which supports multiple links. You add your links and each time someone lands on the website a different website can be shown. The individual websites are not in the Exchange database, only the rotator url. They are not allowed due to ABUSE.Back To Menu
Contact Admin:
Each Xtream Traffic Exchange has a section in the back office for contacting Admin. Please allow 24 hours during business days for response.
Membership set back to Free:
All memberships are set up on a timed basis. At the end of the 30 days, you will need to re-purchase an upgraded account. If you won an upgrade in a contest, you will need to win another contest to get an upgrade again.
Slide In Ads:
Slide in ads are extra links and urls which, while attached to a website, are in fact seperate links altoghther. Because of abuse with the Slide In Ads, we do not allow them.
Forced Dialog and Download Boxes:
Forced dialog boxes are pop ups which force a person to click on something in order for the site to fully load. They can also be download boxes - wanting to automatically download an item to the surfer's computer. They are not allowed.
Https Sites:
Secure websites and one's with certificates. Most of these sites have a security certificate which forces a dialog box to appear from your browser which oftentimes stops the surf. Because of the issues exchanges have with https sites and the sites with security certificates, we do not allow https links at all.
Site Reporting:
There is an icon at the top of the surf window to report sites for abuse. The report takes you to a new window to file the report.
Sites with Adboards:
Sites with adboards like Adsense, Accessory Ads, and others are usually not allowed as the rotating ads sometimes cause issues with the surf. Because they are random issues that do not always appear upon testing but then do occur later, we have stopped accepting most sites with a rotating Ad board unless we have control over what ads and links are put in the boards.
Note:
Google Adsense does not allow you to advertisize your sites with their ads on them on any kind of traffic exchanges.
Inactive Members:
Members who have not surfed for 32 days or longer will have their sites suspended. To reactivate your sites, you will need to surf minimum 100 sites per url then contact Admin.
