FiveHits December 3, 2008
Posted by Secret Surfer in : Reviews , trackbackI must admit, when I first saw FiveHits I was a bit confused. At that time this exchange was both a manual and an auto surf traffic exchange. A rather strange combination I thought.
Since then Josh Abbott, the owner of FiveHits, has eliminated the auto surf feature and FiveHits is now strictly a manual traffic exchange. A very wise move in my opinion.
What makes FiveHits very unique is that while surfing you actually view 5 small windows or frames on one page. Each window or frame contains a portion of a splash page (actually the top left portion of a splash page), just enough to let you know what is being advertised. To view a particular splash page in its entirely you need to click on a link that opens it up in a new window.
Josh appears to have solved the issue of too many pages loading at once while surfing, so the pace of surfing is not slowed at all.
Josh also recently introduced a “word search” game. At random one of the five windows contains a letter – collect all the letters (around 10) and win extra credits. This is a nice feature because it entices surfers to actually look at what is being advertised, in order to find these letters.
FiveHits is a modified LJ script with a 15 second timer. It does not contain a ton of features in the Member’s area, but its clean design makes navigation quite easy.
So what about results? Since making the switch to a manual-only exchange, results have improved. Josh has spent more time in promoting his exchange in recent months, so he seems committed to bringing in new members. I think with a new, fresh design make-over, FiveHits could be a lot better.
All in all, a solid exchange owned by someone who’s been involved in the traffic exchange industry for a long time and has a very good reputation for being an innovator.
