Hmm... I'm hope I haven't broken any rules...

The forum instructions on this are simple. If the program has a multi-tier downline (anything more than two levels) we don't discuss it here. That includes free multi-tier programs.

All three programs you named have multi-tier downlines. So please don't discuss them here. That's not the focus of this forum.

I understand your rules. But in listing them I don't get to benefit anyone of them. I have no affiliate links. Just URL.

And that is also breaking the rules? Shocked

You don't use them for the obvious.
In fact, you shouldn't be using anything
for the obvious. That puts you squarely
in the herd.

These programs are a waste of time. While you are surfing these programs you could be spending your time on doing proper advertising.

But then again you do mention autosurf programs, which means you can do your normall work on your main computer while you have another computer somewhere else doing autosurfing.

OK!

This is what alot of people do. Most people that using autosurf programs just leave their computer autosurfing and then they do other things like eat food, make a cup of tea, watch TV, do other business activities etc.

All of this then leads up to you having to pay out more from bandwidth used than what you will probably gain back from the very poor traffic that you receive to your site.

I do get some signups from autosurfs/click exchanges.

I think they keys are:

1) Volume. Try to surf as much as you can, and remember to assign your credits

2) Splash pages. Don't advertise your sales letter or program URL... instead use an attention-grabbing splash page. Better if you make one yourself

3) Free programs. Use traffic exchanges to promote free programs, give away stuff.. etc. Just to build a list of prospects. Paid program are MUCH more difficult to promote here. Free programs are easier.

The way to use autosurfer's is simple and clear. You load up a 40 page rotator with all of your start page exchange links, and any other traffic exchange link that requires you to surf at least X times per month in order to stay active and the autosurf program keeps you ACTIVE in those programs by running through each program in the rotator to meet the requirement.

If you have banner programs where you get showings for viewings, autosurfers are good for that, too. Time to think creatively rather than criticize people who, for whatever reason, are just not ready to be as advanced as you.
