My absolute favorite Traffic Exchange is Wizard Surf. I took my time evaluating it, analyzing it, and just trying it out the last few weeks and now I want to share what I found with the rest of the world. If you want to generate some additional traffic for your website or blog than this traffic exchange is for you. I am passionate about this traffic exchange and I believe in it. I am offering a bonus 1,000 credits from my account to yours when you join my downline using the links, pictures, and banners posted on my blog.
Joining is very easy. You simply click here or on any of the Wizard Surf images or banners on this post. You'll get a pop-up to Wizard Surf and will bring you to the main page. While you're there, go ahead and read some of the details of this traffic exchange for your enjoyment. Click on the upper right-hand corner of the page on the Signup button. You will be brought to a simple signup page where you enter your e-mail address and create a password.
You will have to check your e-mail for the confirmation from Wizard Surf. After finding the e-mail you'll have to open it and confirm your account. Once confirmed, you can go back to Wizard Surf and login. Click on the Surf button. You need to surf 30 websites to make your account Active.
Now that you've surfed your 30 sites and made your account Active, you have a Free account which includes the following:
Currently, there's a FREE Mage Lifetime upgrade available. You have to either e-mail admin or file a support ticket requesting this upgrade once your account has become Active. When you get upgrade to a Mage Lifetime account, you get the following:
There are many benefits of upgrading your account. Most Traffic Exchanges give you a standard 5 urls and that's all you get. When you upgrade to Mage with Wizard Surf, you get 25 urls, 25 banners, 25 text ads and also a better surfing ratio. The Mage upgrade is 3:2 ratio or for every 3 pages you surf, you get 2 credits in your account. The most valuable feature in my opinion, is the 500 credit allowance that is awarded monthly. You can use those credits on website hits, banner impressions, and text impressions. Recently, Wizard Surf has adopted a "unending" link policy that is awarded when your text links credits run low. You usually get 1,000 credits at a time which is really nice.
These credits are interchangeable too. You can convert them to whatever you want. For example, let's say you're not doing banners this week and you want more website hits - you take your banner credits and use the converter tool in the control panel and convert them to website hits. Simple as that.
I also found the network ads to be very valuable to me. On some other Traffic Exchanges I was using, I guess admin didn't make sure that they were working properly.... I tested a bunch and the network ads on Wizard Surf really blew me away. You take the Wizard Surf network code written in javascript and spread them across any websites or blogs you have running across the internet. In simple terms, you display Wizard Surf ads (which you're a part of) on your websites and in return for displaying them, Wizard Surf rewards you with credits back into your account! The Mage upgrade is 1:1 ratio for banner and text impressions or for every Wizard Surf ad you display on one of your websites per pageview, you get one credit in your account.
I suppose after reading all of this, you are wanting to know my traffic results, right? I tracked my stats with Google Analytics and I found this traffic exchange to perform quite good. The hits on your stats are suddle and don't spike to like 400 hits in one day. I hear that Google and other places don't like to see that fluctuation as it pertains to ranking, ads, and pagerank because it looks unnatural; statistically speaking. Instead, it's a few direct hits to your url as well as the referring url of Wizard Surf. In addition to this, you have the ability to display your blog or website to the 500 members (currently) on the internal Wizard Surf network when people surf for credits. Honestly, there is some room for improvement (I think Wizard Surf has been up since April 2008) but whatever traffic you don't see, Wizard Surf's owner makes up for it in the form of free hits, the unending free text links, and the 500 credit allowance that is awarded monthly.
Which brings me to the Traffic Exchange owner, Bob McDaniel. I think what really led me to staying a member, surfing the exchange, referring others, and using it as a primary means to generate traffic is the overall disposition of this guy. I e-mailed him some questions, he answered back. {whoa} When he didn't know the answer, he ran tests and he looked for the answer among his peers who also own traffic exchanges. I happily (by accident) found this out because I saw my question to him recently appear in a technical forum. Also, He offered me kind words of encouragement and welcomed any suggestions on how to make his exchange an even better place.
Aside from all of this, I found out that he *modestly* mentioned that he came back from Guatemala doing charitable work for children. He does not use this as a primary means to advertise his exchange or to get people to join, but you have to consider the genuineness and sincerity of this guy's heart in all aspects of what he does. The Sponsor a Child banners are prominately displayed in the user control panel as well as the Wizard Surf exchange.
"I'm a retired CPA who has dabbled with the internet for years. I've learned html and am working on php and mysql. For the past two years my wife and I were in Guatemala helping to get a children's home up and running (www.rsmm.org). We returned to the US the 1st of March and are establishing ourselves in the Buffalo NY area. I have the wizard network that currently runs two traffic exchanges, wizardsurf.com and bestsurfmagic.com" - Bob McDaniel
The Way I See It, Wizard Surf is the best traffic exchange I've ever been a part of. It has great features and functionality and the owner is a genuine human being who will treat you fairly. You should join and give it a chance and you will be very pleased with the results.
