How can you earn traffic?
1) You can use your unique view-for-credits-link. This will earn credits every time you visit another
members page. A new page is automatically loaded after the countdown timer reaches zero.
2) You can earn credits from your "Downline". Each time they earn credits you will automatically
earn a percentage of what they earn. This is an easy way to create traffic. The more members in your downline the more points you will earn. You will find Referral stats in your members area.
How to view for credits?
Signup, activate your account and login.
You will find your surf-for-credits-link in the members area. Just click it and you
will start earning traffic credits. You will need to be logged in to use your surf link.

Account Issues
Each user is given a unique member number which is used in the surf-for-credits-link, and in the referral-link. Login details
consists of your id-number (or your email address) in combination with your password.
No other details are necessary. Login names and passwords are Case SenSitive.
If you have forgotten your password you can retrieve it by the "Forgotten" link on the login page.
You may change your password at any time but your userid can't be changed.
If for some reason you should choose to delete your account, log in to your members area and click the [Delete Account] link. If you are an upgraded member, please cancel your PayPal subscription BEFORE deleting your account.
Multiple accounts
A member is not allowed to have multiple accounts. Referring yourself is considered cheating. The script is set to report suspected cheaters and if multiple accounts are simultaneously connected from the same IP address the script will mark the accounts and they may be deleted. If there are two members of a household or coworkers that wish to surf from the same internet connection, you must advise admin of your intentions via the contact form BEFORE you start surfing.
How do I know my sites get traffic?
Your site statistics are shown inside your members area. You may also wish to use a program such as Google Analytics to analyze your site traffic.
My own tracker log differs from used credits. Why is this?
This can happen in all traffic exchanges and can be caused by the following:
If your site loads too slowly, and the 'next page' is loaded
before your site is loaded, then your tracking program may not record the hit. Ideally your sites should fully load in a few seconds even on a slow connection. Remember not all members are on a fast connection. Some still use a dial-up connection.
Some trackers depend on images, if another member does not have images enabled in their browser then that hit may not be tracked.
Remotely hosted trackers or counters also must load before the next members page is displayed. This would mean that the browser leaves the site before the remote tracker is loaded.
The URL is not entered correctly, misspelled or ending username is missing: Look in your members area. The url must
start with "http://", no breaks, no white spaces, one line only. Remember, our software records hits based on the userid. The accuracy of url
itself is your responsibility.
A visitors Browser settings will sometimes disable the hit from being tracked.
Possible reasons for not receiving credits.
The following reasons are common:
Not waiting long enough. The bottom frame must load and the counter must reach zero to earn a credit.
Your account may have been deactivated by admin due to violation of our terms.
You are using the wrong surf-for-credits-link url. Misspelled or missing ID number. Keep your eyes open.
Why you never see your own page
Itīs taken for granted that you do not want to see your own site because it would waste your time and credits.
Viewing your Stats
You can view your most vital stats on the surf bar while you are surfing.
Visits shows how many sites you have visited.
Hits shows how many hits you have received in return.
Left shows how many credits are
left on your account - hits to be delivered.
For explanations of the other codes on your surf bar, see Contests on your menu
Earning Bonus Credits.
You can earn bonus credits every day by watching as you surf entering competitions. For more detail see Contests on the menu.
Viewing your Downline
To view your downline, log in to your members area and click the "view referrals" link.
How can I change my account
You can change your email address, password and target urls from inside your members area.
Testing your site.
Before submitting your site for approval, do some basic testing. Turn off any popup blockers and make sure your site does not generate any popups on opening closing or refreshing. Make sure your site is in the English language. Non english sites will be deleted. Make sure your page is fast loading. Large pages which are slow to load may be deleted. If your site has sound, is it a pleasant sound and related to your site. Sites with annoying sounds will be deleted.
When you add a new site to your 'Website' profile itīs tested and you get a question: - Does your web site look fine, without violating our terms of
service? You will have to confirm. If you only see your own page, not inside the testing frame, itīs a frame breaker and is not allowed to
rotate on AutoSurf Traffic Exchange.
Frame breakers are web sites containing code designed to break the page out of any other frame it might occur within. Our surf
page, contains of 2 frames, a top frame and a mainframe. The targeted web site will show in the mainframe. If the targeted web site is a
frame breaker it will take over the whole window screen, hence surfing stops. Frame breaking code is usually javascript code.
URL-Rotators and re-direction: We do not allow url-rotators in AutoSurf Traffic Exchange. Rotators and re-directors often contain sites that break our terms and it is very hard to identify the problem site when it is in a rotator. Upgraded members are permitted to use rotators and redirector provided that they keep them clean and check them on a regular basis.
Surf links: We do not allow any surf links as targeted web site. A surf link will show a surf page from a traffic exchange. Itīs the same problem as
with url-rotators. A surf link in the surf page system will show pages not necessarily in compliance with our terms.
AutoSurf Traffic Exchange Terms
To avoid disappointment, and to keep the surfing experience pleasant for all, pleas read our full terms and conditions. It is recommended that you read them before using our site.
Contacting AutoSurf Traffic Exchange
To contact us please use the contact form.
Buying Extra Credits
If you don't have enough time to surf or want some extra hits delivered to your sites, you may buy extra credits from within the members area.
Distribution of hits
If you surf a lot of sites in a short period you may not get all those hits back immediately. Members with a large number of credits on their account get more hits delivered each hour.
Pause/Activate/Delete URLs
You can stop a page from rotating if you click the 'Pause' link.
Your user account and your web site must be 'Active' in order to use this option.
To reactivate a paused page click the 'Activate' link which will appear after you have clicked the 'Pause' link.
DELETE: When deleting a page it will be removed from the list to a 'deleted urls database' so you will always
be able to view your 'page history', url and hits.
Cheat protection
We keep records on every single click. We know every single IP-number, ISP, Browser, Agent, Referrer, time etc.
There are other means of cheating prevention in use, not mentioned here. Members caught cheating risk losing all their credits, all their downline, and permanent deletion of their account.
Reporting bad sites and terms violation
Admin does not see everything. While surfing you will sometimes see pages breaking the rules of AutoSurf Traffic Exchange making life harder for honest members. You can report such pages by clicking the [Report] link
which will show the 10 latest sites you have visited. Click on report link, check to make sure you are reporting the correct site, fill in the form and the site will be removed from rotation pending review.
Contest winners
To gain an overview of our daily contests, click the contests link on the menu. You can also see a list of our top daily points leaders and our referral page leaders. Both these contests are re-set at midnight server time.
