Unlimited Free Traffic All Month For 10 Minutes Of Your Time

A huge advantage to List Surfing is that even though you can surf web pages, or read email ads, for a long time and get increased rewards and bonuses for larger volume.. you don’t have to if you don’t want to or just don’t have hours to commit.

To help those who want to get maximum exposure and results from just a little bit of time each month, we created List Surfing with NO SURF RATIO! What does this mean? Well, it means you won’t view two pages in order to earn one view of your site in return (known as a 2:1 ratio), or even view one page in order to get one view in return (1:1 ratio). You can view a minimum of just 50 pages each month in the surf area and this makes you ACTIVE for a full 30 days. While you are active your sites get unlimited rotation in our surfing area and it doesn’t cost you ANY credits at all. This is unlimited rotation of your sites for absolutely free. Just rinse and repeat every month.

Let’s put this in perspective… let’s say you are a free member in List Surfing so you would be allowed to rotate up to one site. That one site might receive 50 visitors a week. The amount of visitors depends on many factors so this may go up or down depending on how active other users are in List Surfing as well as how many other sites are rotating. That would mean 200 visitors a month.

For viewing just 50 sites you get 200 visitors in return? That is unheard of in traffic exchanges! But yes, that is what you get at List Surfing.

But, what if you upgrade in List Surfing? Then you can get 3x or even 5x the amount of traffic! Pro members can rotate 3 sites, so even if you put the same site in 3 times you will be getting roughly the same amount of traffic to each listing giving you.. according to our rough estimate above.. 600 to 1,000 visitors per month for just surfing 50 pages! You realize that is something like a 1:6 or 1:10 ratio, right?

But hold on to your seat, because it gets even wilder.

You know how I said we don’t spend any of your credits when your site is viewed in the surf area? That means while you’re surfing you are accumulating credits, but they aren’t ever being spent to show your site to others – so what do you do with those credits?! You can turn around and use those credits to send Email Ads to our list! 

Email ads are another super effective way to advertise, and a nice percentage, probably 2-3% of the people you send your email ad out to will open and visit your website. This is not only additional traffic, but traffic you can pre-sell through your email copy!

Do you see the big picture now? With List Surfing you get insane amount of value for your time surfing through free website rotation AND email ads. Plus when you read email ads you also earn text impressions, banner impressions, and more mailing credits. 

I’m not even mentioning the daily surf drawing, referral contests, and surf bonuses that are given to our members who invest more time and surf higher volume.. that’s for another post 😉

Are you pumped to use List Surfing?!?

To your success,

P.S. Unfortunately, if you let your account go inactive your sites will not rotate, but you can still send email ads and everything else in your account is still functioning normal like getting referrals, commissions, banner ads, text ads, etc.  You can always make your account active again for 30 days by just surfing 50 pages, it’s that simple!

OR, if you want all the benefits of being active without actually doing anything, you can purchase Always Active and as long as you are subscribed your account will stay active.

Are people really bookmarking sites?

A seemingly insignificant function on ListSurfing and many other traffic exchanges is the ability to “bookmark” sites as you surf. Bookmarking allows you to save a site that you visit while surfing so that later on, whenever you wish, you can revisit that site. Sometimes you may see a product that interests you or a cool video that you want to show people later that day – click bookmark and check back later!

As a website owner you are faced with the challenge of maintaining a presence across several, uncontrollable environments for potentially thousands of customers. One of the most important things to consider in today’s market is user experience – if a customer is unhappy, they’ll move on to your competitor.

You may think that creating a website, testing in Internet Explorer, and pushing live would warrant the same result for everyone but sadly it’s just not the case. And how many different experiences might there be? That number is only growing.

Want Quality over Quantity? Let’s look at the Statistics

There are many traffic exchanges varying in slightly different ways; timer lengths, credit bonuses, surfing ratios, etc.. How do you know which, of the many, are worth your time investment? Honestly, that’s a question we can’t really answer as you won’t always have the same results as everyone else at the same traffic exchange. But what we can tell you is how the statistics don’t lie.

One of the key factors to value (in our opinion) is how many unique surfers you have at a traffic exchange related to how many total hits are received. So how can we possibly look at the stats? Simple; Affiliate Funnel rank report. Below is a screen shot of one of the weekly reports (based on more than just votes) which are calculated every friday, automatically. This report is readily available to anyone but we’ve left out all the other traffic exchange names as that doesn’t really matter.

Affiliate Funnel Rank Stats

In this chart, ListSurfing is at the bottom of the list. Position has nothing to do with what we’re going to explain, so leave that out of the equation.

As you’ll notice, the “Surfers Votes” for ListSurfing (at 8.14) is among the highest out of the list. At least we know our members definitely love the site! What you want to pay attention to is “Hits” and “Unique Surfers”. At ListSurfing we only require you to surf 50 sites every 30 days as part of the “Active” requirement. With that it would be no surprise that our surfing hits are going to be lower than other traffic exchange where hits are higher as people surf hundreds of sites a day to earn credits in order to keep their sites being seen. And that’s exactly where value is important.

Would you rather receive multiple hits from the same surfer or mostly unique hits? We believe the latter, and here’s what we mean. As your site receives hundreds of hits on most traffic exchanges it is highly likely to be from many of the same surfers, but on ListSurfing your site hits are more likely to be from unique surfers.

Let’s do a little math:   as the report shows a 7-day period, out of the 115,539 hits to active sites in ListSurfing by 8,552 unique surfers, that means each surfer saw your site about 13-14 times on average.  So, let’s look at some of the others…

1,215,026 hits from 15,214 surfers = 79 – 80 Average Hits per Surfer

786,066 hits from 13,081 surfers = 60 – 61 Average Hits per Surfer

438,434 hits from 13,325 surfers = 32 – 33 Average Hits per Surfer

348,537 hits from 10,450 surfers = 33 – 34 Average Hits per Surfer

As you can see, ListSurfing delivers more unique hits, on Average, but at least double the above examples. Of course, for smaller TE’s that receive far less than 100k hits each week, the ratio is technically better than what ListSurfing provides, but there is also another view that getting not enough hits is also not as valuable.

We certainly don’t think just being a part of ListSurfing is a good idea. Diversification and being present in many advertising locations is certainly a smart choice, but make sure to keep ListSurfing as part of your arsenal. More unique hits means more new eyes!
