Traffic Witch December 2, 2008
Posted by Secret Surfer in : Reviews , add a commentO/K, here we go again – another traffic exchange launch. So when Traffic Witch launched with much fanfare on November 26, 2008, I did a bit of a yawn. Until I looked at it a bit deeper…
The owner is Guido Nussbaum. So what you ask? Well, he’s one of the biggest names in the JV giveaway market, a market not generally associated with traffic exchanges. Why is this important? Because he has access to a large number of Internet marketers who do not yet use traffic exchanges. So that means a lot of new and fresh eyeballs looking at your splash pages. Finally – an owner who understands the importance of bringing in a lot of new members to make your advertising efforts really pay off. And if that’s not enough…
Jon Olson and Robert Puddy personally helped Guido build Traffic Witch. Now that’s a solid team!
Traffic Witch runs on the standard LJ script, so surfers will be comfortable with its design. Features include a 10 second timer, dynamic surfing ratios (meaning the more you surf, the more traffic you will receive), a rating feature (you can rate other surfers’ splash pages) and fantastic commission rates – up to 75% commissions on member upgrades.
Although it’s a bit early to judge results from this new exchange, members have been reporting fantastic results with their banners and text links. But the surfing results I’ve received so far have been very good, an excellent, early indication of the worthiness of this new exchange.
So…will Traffic Witch stand the test of time? I think so. With over 1,000 people joining in the first 8 hours alone, and with solid backing from Jon Olson and Robert Puddy, this exchange should be able to continue to bring in new members on a consistent basis over the long run. And that, my friends, should translate into surfing results for you.

Traffic Goldrush October 10, 2008
Posted by The Secret Surfer in : Reviews , add a commentY’know, there have been a lot of traffic exchanges launched this year, each with their own brand blend of hype and incentives to join early. But non have been so masterfully crafted as the launch of Paul Conway’s Traffic Goldrush.
Launch Managers Paul Kinder and Steve Ayling have managed to put Traffic Goldrush on the map in a matter of days with over 3000 members signing up in just over 1 weeks time. For a site that came out of nowhere this is downright staggering, and the resulting activity within the site has proven profitable for many members already.
I initially thought something was wrong with my tracking when I first checked my results at goldrush. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new exchange this responsive. It’s already out performing many exchanges with twice it’s membership.
So what’s making this place so effective?
Well, aside from the huge rush of new members, I think surfers are hooked on the “Gold-Rush” feature. Periodically while surfing, you’ll see a message in the surfbar stating that the “Gold Rush is on” which means an increased surf ratio for the duration of the rush. It appears in bursts, and fairly often so it’s really hard to pull yourself away from the surfbar in anticipation of the next gold rush. The impact this has had on credit delivery is amazing and results are equally jaw dropping.
Will Traffic Gold Rush stand the test of time? My money says yes. With a team like this one I don’t expect anything less than the best. I’m willing to stake my reputation on it as I’m giving this one the highest rating I’ve ever given an exchange this young. When all is said and done, the ratings are based on results. Paul, Paul, and Steve have really struck gold with this one. Sorry about the pun… I just had to.

Magnify Traffic September 9, 2008
Posted by The Secret Surfer in : Reviews , add a commentMagnify Traffic does a great job of distinguishing itself from the hundreds of other traffic exchanges online. From the moment you log in, Magnify has a distinctly different feel, yet it’s layout is focused and simple to navigate.
The team at Magnify have taken huge steps to ensure members return to surf daily, and offer some generous rewards for those who do. Rewards come in the form of surf ratio bonuses. Some of which are good for the remainder of the day, and some you get to keep the next day if you log in and surf again.
You can always depend on Magnify Traffic’s dependable traffic delivery as well. You would think with all these ratio bonuses going around, credits would begin to back up. Quite the contrary here as the hits have been rolling in nice and steady all summer with no sign of slowing down.
If there’s one thing I find lacking at Magnify, it’s text links. Sure, there’s a common belief that text links are worthless, but I for one have always loved the ability to convert credits to text links. It’s a great way to test short n’ sweet ads and I’ve had some great results from these things in the past. Maybe resident programmer (and co-owner) Dan Smith will incorporate text links in the future.
All in all, Magnify Traffic is a quality program that I can feel comfortable recommending to anyone.

247 Traffic Pro September 7, 2008
Posted by The Secret Surfer in : Reviews , add a commentThe team at 247TrafficPro have been on fire this summer and activity seems to be increasing by the day. Lets take a look at some of the new additions and see how this exchange stacks up to the competition.
This summer marked the beginning of the Hover Surf craze. Made popular first by the gang at New Way 2 Surf, it was quickly imitated by tons of exchanges looking to cash in on the buzz. 247 Traffic Pro reacted quickly, looking to please members who preferred to hover, they developed a customizable version of the hover surf feature made it an optional feature at their click exchange. But they didn’t stop there…
Looking to reward loyal surfers, 247TrafficPro turned on their “keep the next day” progressive surf ratio. Surf long enough, get an increased surf ratio. Come back and surf the next day and your increased surf ratio remains in place. Surely an incentive to surf daily, but with all these extra credits being earned, won’t member credits begin to stockpile?
Apparently, the 247TrafficPro team was aware of this possibility and quickly developed their “Activity Points” feature. Rewarding active members with points for doing “the most regular tasks on 247TrafficPro”. Each week, the top 5 members based on points win the weekly jackpot. The jackpot contains credits, banner and text impressions, referrals and even a bit of cash.
So the activity is high and the features are full of potential, so why are my results here not consistent with other active exchanges. I can’t answer that question, but if the fellas at 247TrafficPro can, I think they’ll have a real powerhouse of a hit exchange on their hands.
