The only negatives I could see is that they have a long 20 second timer (at least it’s a 1:1 surf ratio though), you have to contact admin in order to get your $5.00 sign up bonus, and you’ll have to surf 25 sites in order for your account to be fully active.

On a positive note, some good things about joining Golden Panda Traffic is that on top of the $5.00 bonus for joining, you’ll also get about 800 text exchange credits, 1,000 banner impressions, and 1,000 text ad impressions. The way I look at it is that’s free traffic to take advantage of. You might as well not let it go to waste.

You can purchase credits, but as I always say with free traffic sites,

“If they offer free traffic in the first place, what’s the point of paying for something that others are getting for free?”

To me, it just doesn’t make sense.

Of course you can build on your credits by referring other free members. This is true with pretty much any traffic exchange I’ve seen out there. If I’m wrong on this, please let me know right away.

Other than this, Golden Panda Traffic looks pretty much like any other ordinary traffic exchange out there. Once they build a good membership base, you’ll be glad that you joined early and got a bunch of free credits built up.

To buy or not to buy traffic from a free traffic exchange? My answer to this question would be the latter. Don’t get me wrong. If you have some money to blow and you want to experiment on a traffic exchange to see what kind of results you’ll get, then by all means go right ahead and do so. I’m only noting that in my experience traffic exchanges have been a good source of free traffic to my websites, but when I buy traffic from a traffic exchange, I usually end up disappointed with the end results.

Why? You may be asking, because think about how traffic exchanges are built, you got an individual who is trying to earn credits and doesn’t really care what he or she may see. I admit, I do the same, but you will receive hits to your websites, whether or not the end viewer is actually viewing your website is another question that needs to be answered.

I’ll give you an example, Web Biz Insider, in my opinion is a great free traffic exchange. I get free hits from Web Biz Insider everyday. I made the mistake of upgrading my membership to a pro member for one month with Web Biz Insider thinking I was going to get a lot of great hits to my website. Unfortunately, I ended up getting tons of hits, over 10,000 to be more accurate. The problem was I didn’t see any results. My Google Analytics account showed all these great hits, because I was receiving hits, but the end user wasn’t turning over. I mean I wasn’t getting any conversions.

The problem with Web Biz Insider is that the end user can cheat the traffic exchange system and open up multiple surfing windows at once. This means that technically you are getting hits, whether or not someone is actually viewing your website is yet another question to be asked.

Trust me, I don’t want to make traffic exchanges look like they’re a bad thing to get involved in. The truth is I’ve been receiving a multitude of great free traffic from traffic exchanges for a long time now and will always take advantage of the free traffic they have to offer. Note taken, if you see a free traffic exchange offering some kind of promotion for surfing so many sites in a day, you might want to consider taking advantage of that offer.

For example, Top Tier Traffic offered me 200 free credits today if I surfed 50 sites. It took me less then 10 minutes to surf 50 sites and the traffic bonus was applied to my account immediately. By the way, if you don’t know already, Top Tier Traffic and Web Biz Insider were both made by the same owner. I can’t remember his name though, look it up if this intrigues you.

Clickers Jamboree offers a 2:1 traffic exchange ratio. This means that for every two sites you surf in the manual exchange, you’ll get one hit back to your website in the traffic exchange. It would be better if it was a 1:1 ratio traffic exchange, but not everything is perfect in this world. One other thing to note is that there is a 10 second timer in the exchange. That isn’t too long to wait.

Another good thing about Clickers Jamboree is that they pay via Paypal or Alertpay. This helps members that may be internationally based and can’t get access to Paypal. So Clickers Jamboree is 100% free to join and anyone can join worldwide as long as they can read and write English.

The last thing I’ll not about Clickers Jamboree that kind of set it apart from other traffic exchanges is that you don’t have to surf a certain number of websites in order for your account to become active. This means as soon as you sign up you will be able to take advantage of the 100 free hits to your website. This is a big deal to me, I always hate having to surf a bunch of websites just to become active as a member. I can see why traffic exchanges do this though. It really helps them keep traffic flowing throughout their exchanges.

If you like what Clickers Jamboree has to offer as a traffic exchange that offers a sign up bonus, then take a look at my other free advertising sites that pay a sign up bonus for joining.

Why join Astrology Surf?

• 100% free to join.
• Currently offering a sign up bonus until 500 members.
• Earn $1.00 off each active member you refer until 1,000 members.
• You will also receive free traffic (100 credits) from every referral you contribute.
• Only have to surf 30 sites to become active.

• Instant site approval, no waiting for admin to approve your website.
• Can submit 5 sites and banners to the traffic exchange for promotion.
• Fast 10 second traffic exchange timer.

The only things I don’t like about Astrology Surf is that they have a 3 to 1 surf ratio and you have to surf at least once every 14 days to remain active as a member. This means you have to surf 3 sites in order to get one hit back to yours and get an e-mail from Astrology Surf every time you go over 14 days without surfing. Other than this, Astrology Surf is really a good traffic exchange that will provide quality traffic back to your website for years to come.

If you are looking to get more traffic to your website, don’t hesitate to take a look at how you can get over 1 million visitors for free.

Aim High Traffic gives you $10.00 when you sign up with them, but you won’t be able to touch that $10.00 until your account balance reaches at least $25.00. That sucks, but that is just the way it is. If Aim High Traffic gave every one $10.00 just for signing up and not expecting anything else in return; they would go out of business in a heart beat. So technically you’ll have to earn that $10.00, but you’ll come out ahead with at least $25.00 in the long run.

With Aim High Traffic’s exchange system you’ll be able to advertise 5 different websites as a free member. Aim High Traffic is a manual traffic exchange so all the members of the network will have to view the sites you have in the rotator. What separates Aim High Traffic from other traffic exchanges is that while surfing websites for credits, you’ll never have to click on an image or number to get credit for viewing the website. Instead, all you’ll have to do is put your mouse pointer over the web page to get credit. It’s called hover technology and very new to traffic exchanges. I really like it a lot.

With Aim High Traffic you can get credits in four ways.

1. Surfing on their exchange.
2. Straight out purchasing credits (only if you want to do this).
3. Referring others generates free hits back to your websites.
4. Reading the credit e-mails Aim High Traffic will send you.

Aim High Traffic offers a 2:1 credit ratio. What this means is that for every website you view you’ll earn half a credit. Surf ten websites in their exchange and receive 5 hits back to your site. Don’t worry, when you surf the Aim High Traffic exchange the longest the timer will take is about 8 to 12 seconds.

If you are looking for more free traffic sites that pay you to sign up with them and offer quality advertising. Take a look at the free advertising sign up bonus sites in the bonus directory. Enjoy!!!!

How many other traffic exchanges out there will ask their viewers to confirm an important piece of informative information about their website specifically? Not too many obviously. Most traffic exchanges only ask their viewers to click a certain image confirming they have viewed the site for the required amount of time. The thing that makes Poad Team so different is that they will ask a specific question to the surfer (usually the individual that is promoting their site will determine the question to be asked) while they are viewing the advertised site.

What this does is it makes the viewer really have to take a look at the site being advertised. In order for the viewer to be credited for viewing the site, he or she has to answer a specific question about the site. I think more traffic exchanges should take advantage of this business model even though it is a little bit annoying for the surfer trying to build up credits by surfing. At least the surfer will know his or her site will be viewed very carefully by the next anxious surfer.

Take a look at my other recommended traffic exchanges to see if they may fit your needs.

I Love Hits has been in business since 2001 and has over 100,000 members in their database.  They actually get hundreds of new members every week. That’s pretty impressive. I’m not too big on I Love Hits spokesperson, the boxer named Henry. He looks like he got hit pretty hard in the left eye and probably doesn’t love hits too much anymore.

With I Love Hits free services you can advertise up to 3 of your sites in their traffic exchange. You can also advertise banners and text ads throughout the rotation. When surfing sites you have to wait 10 seconds and click the appropriate icon to get credits back to your sites. Once you view about 3 or 4 sites that will equal one free hit back to your website in the rotation. I don’t like that too much. I prefer traffic exchanges with a 1:1 surfing ratio because you get more hits for less surfing. You can also purchase traffic from I Love Hits. They have pretty competitive prices compared to other traffic exchanges.

Another neat thing about I Love Hits is that you can actually make your own mini profile just like MySpace or MyBlogLog. Take a look at my I Love Hits profile to see what you think of it. It’s pretty plain and simple and you can’t add a photo of yourself.

Last, but not least, you can earn free hits back to your websites by referring other free members to I Love Hits. You basically will get a percentage of the surfing that your referrals do. That will produce free visitors to your sites for the rest of your life. If you like I Love Hits, take a look at my other recommended free traffic exchanges to join.

I like traffic exchanges because they are free. You can’t beat free, right? Easyhits4u is one of those traffic exchanges that are on the top of my list that not only provide good traffic online, but also can earn you some extra income if you play your cards right.

The first thing I like about Easyhits4u is that you get a surf ratio of 1:1. What does this mean? It means for every site you surf, someone else will surf one of your sites. This is great because there are a lot of traffic exchanges out there where you’ll have to surf 2 or 3 sites before you’ll get a full hit to one of your sites. There is no limit on how many free hits you can receive in a day. Easyhits4u will also reward you with cash (30 cents for every 1,000 sites viewed) and additional traffic just for being an active member.

I also like their referral program, it goes 5 levels deep. You’ll also get a 10 cent referral fee for every active member that surfs their first 100 sites.

You can also buy traffic from Easyhits4u if you would like. With over 100,000 members  and over 6 years in business they only charge $5.95 per 1,000 hits to your site. If you sign up today you’ll get 50 free hits to your websites.
