I've signed up to a few link exchange programs over time, and some of these traffic exchange schemes.
To gain my ongoing participation a system needs to quickly show me
- how I benefit (yes $110 a day will do it)
- how my participation benefits others
In the case of autosurf programs I just can't see how the advertiser or site owner benefits. They are touted as traffic exchange, but traffic implies human involvement - autosurf programs have none. So just what return on investment are the advertisers getting?
And taking money from site owners who are naive enough to believe the spiel doesn't make for ethical business.
