Auto surf traffic exchange programs are once again increasing in popularity online. The industry was popular a few years ago when programs like 12dailypro, studio traffic and a host of other autosurfs made a lot of people very good money without selling recruiting or sponsoring. The industry took a big hit when a Florida based company tried to legitimize the industry by providing a physical office, telephone support and hotel meetings.
Many entrepreneurs loved the concept of auto surf traffic and especially loved the fact that the autosurf paid them a percentage of what they spent on advertising for simply viewing other members websites. The big issue surrounding the whole concept of these traffic exchanges is that
virtually all traffic exchanges had to be classified as ponzi schemes and therefore not worthy of any serious consideration. The advocates of paid autosurf type programs claim that it is possible to generate ongoing profits if a program is manged with integrity and if a fixed return is offered over a certain time period. The concept is known as profit sharing with a cap. For example some programs offered to pay people a share in daily profits until they receive back a certain percentage, say 25% more than what they spent on advertising. The only requirement to get paid daily profit sharing is to view a certain amount of other members websites each day.
While this seems to be a perfectly legitimate business model some regulatory authorities don't like the concept and also don't believe the business model is sustainable over the long term. For almost a year ofter asd cash generator the program considered by many to be the best manual autosurf exchange that ever existed. Despite the popularity of the company the program was ultimately shut down and is believed to still be in litigation. Today there is a new emergence of paid autosurf type programs and people are flocking to them in droves.
I believe there is a huge shift away from traditional network marketing programs with autoship requirements and endless recruiting requirements towards passive type programs like paid autosurf programs. So if most people know that going into one of these deals that it is most likely a ponzi scheme, it will most likely not be around for more than a year and some of the biggest have been shut down why do they still participate?
In my opinion there are a few reasons.
A) No one can dispute the fact that entrepreneurs many of whom may fit the perfect profile for business opportunity marketers will be viewing ads in these type programs. Primarily because they are looking for promotion for their offers and looking to generate some extra cash as well.
B) When people can generate daily cash and end up with more than they devoted to the program in as little as 30 days as in the case of the traffic exchange buxify it becomes very attractive. This is especially true when comparing the returns generated from a traditional investment that may pay 3-10% per year as opposed to a potential 30% in 30 days with a program like buxify that has been showing payment proof to validate its success since 2008.
For these two reasons I believe paid autosurf type programs will continue to pop up and be supported and many have the potential to last for some time. I believe anyone participating in any type of auto surf program, especially one that offers you cash back advertising should know going in that no matter what they say on their website it is a 99% chance the program is a ponzi scheme.
The primary benefit you can truly count on is getting some eyeballs on your offer. With that said if you don't get greedy, do some due diligence on the program monitor and use smart money management you may be able to get back more than you devote and some extra profits as well.
Like them or not my opinion is that paid auto surf is here to stay and if you focus more on getting exposure for your offers than making money you may be able to get more bang for your buck consistently than with other forms of advertising. If your goal is to grow your money more than advertising, make sure you choose a program that pays daily, pays a fairly decent percentage and get your seed money back as quickly as possible.
Here is a scenario that could be used with a program like Buxify. Since they pay 130% of your purchase in 30 days. You can simply deposit an amount you feel comfortable with then once you each month after you receive your 130% simply keep your initial funds then make a new purchase with the 30% profit. From the second month on keep 20% of what you receive and put back in 80%. This way you limit your risk to only for 30 days. After that you are playing with profits and keeping a little cash for yourself. If you have an online business opportunity to promote you will also get some good exposure to your offer as a bonus.
These types of programs are certainly NOT for everyone but if you are a risk taker and have something to market you may want to consider an auto surf traffic exchange to grow your business and potentially your bankroll. If you want to be completely passive and not have to view any ads each day then consider a cross between a traditional hyip program and an auto surf program which is known as a cash back advertising program these types of programs allow you to purchase text ads and banner ad credits you can use to promote any product, service or opportunity. As an added bonus you get a fixed share in daily profits until you receive anywhere from 25%-200% of what you spent on advertising back. There are a number of these programs on the market but only a few are worthy of your consideration.
Two of the most popular at the writing of this post are Rican Adfunds and one of my favorites Fast Cash Mega. Both programs offer profit sharing and quality advertising that will drive traffic to any website you want. Both allow you the ability to withdraw your funds on a daily basis and both offer referral programs if you choose to refer others. These are not surfing programs and as of this date January 7th 2013 I no longer recommend most surfing programs unless you are using them for get exposure for some other business you may be involved with.
As I mentioned earlier it is important to note that the major benefit will be the advertising, there is no way we can tell how long these programs will last and it is perfectly clear up front that profits are dependent upon new sales and repurchases. If the program remains popular it can continue paying for quite some time, if not it won't. Never make a purchase of more than you can afford to lose and get your initial funds back in your hands as quickly as possible.
That's it for this topic.
Have A Blessed Day!

If you have not joined the Telexfree Business Opportunity the number one passive income opportunity on the net yet, you should. It is the most stable, well managed and consistent paying passive income opp online. ( Post updated 1/7/2013) the article remains for information purposes but I am no longer endorsing most surfing programs.
Profitmax is the new buzz word in the income opportunity arena. It is a new program launched by a 13 year direct mail veteran. They have one of the strongest performance guarantees I have ever seen and as of this writing July 9th 2011 the program is only 8 weeks old!
This is a great alternative to the abundance of online income opportunities. Right now the program is only offered in the United States. The program offers a complete done for your marketing solution that has the potential to flood your mailbox with $200 and $100 money orders multiple times per day.
ProfitMax also has a semi passive way you can generate profits by doing just a little work yourself. The work consists of simply taking peel and stick labels that contain the contact information of proven Opportunity Buyers and pasting them on envelopes containing your marketing flyer, adding the postage and sticking them in the mail.
The big difference between this program and others is that response to your initial mailing is Guaranteed In Writing! Part of your package includes the company Top Level Marketng taking care of a 2000 piece mailing on your behalf and guaranteeing you a 1% response to your mailing. The company does the printing, stuffing of envelopes, pasting of labels etc. and they guarantee your response!
This is the perfect way to generate passive residual income offline! This has all of the attributes of a daily pay program that people are used to seeing online but the offline factor gives it a huge advantage because of the lack of offers being sent through the mail.
when you join our team we have tools others in the company do not, including a sizzle call and resources you can use to market the program online and offline for minimal expense to maximize your profits.
Top Level Marketing is owned by Jeremy Bosotina who has a very good reputation as a program participant and monitor. We have done due diligence on him prior to forming TLM and have come up with nothing but positive feedback.
One of the key things that gives participants an added level of comfort is the fact that members pay other members direct for the purchase of the product package. There is NO company holding your money, you get paid upfront!
***UPDATE AS OF 10/22/2011 on the Profit Max Direct Mail Opportunity
The program absolutely works IF you work it but we have to be honest and let anyone considering joining know that we have not seen ANY response to the coop mailings the company has done for our team over the past few months. If you intend to join and depend solely on the efforts of the company you may be disappointed.
We feel a better option with a similar concept that is currently performing beyond our wildest imagination is the Simple Income Direct Mail Opportunity you become revenue sharing partners with the person who referred you, me!
