Dragon Surf is a great example because a Free member can get up to .83 credits per page surfer after reaching 500 pages(Not difficult for a experienced surfer to do). Farm Traffic also seems to go by this example as well.

I’m trying to think how to convince a surfer to surf more, but I don’t any real ideas.

P.S. I think that there are several reasons why EasyHits4U is #1 of AF and ranks so highly everywhere else and they are the following:

-2 different surf options, 2:1 for 15 seconds or 1:1 for 20 seconds. This gives surfers some Freedom of choice because they can decide for a slower timer or more credits, for a faster timer and less credits.

-The ability to double the timer in exchange for using double the credits and there is also an option to not view the extended 30 and 40 second pages as well.

-They pay 30 cents for every 1000 pages surfed, this is mainly important because in today’s world, people are even more greedy and cash-hungry than ever before. Oh, and payout is at only $3.

-The ability for as low as 24 cents, to try out Premium membership to see if they like it or not for 24 hours. And they can repeat this as often as they can afford to.

Those are the main reasons that I can think of right now. Some of these, you TE owners could take into consideration, most notably the surf options and the trial membership.

I think I’m bad at socializing because I think the point I was trying to get across was that most sites stop increasing the surf ratio after 400-500 sites(when some surf 1,000 a day, I did yesterday at Traffic Splash to get credits and the great Surf 1,000 reward because banners are great Branding tools!)(I plan to every day as well.)

And yes, I’m happy about the increased surf rewards at StartXChange, Tim. Surfed around 1,300 pages there last night(And almost 1,000 at Dragon Surf).

Still kinda unhappy about how slowly ILoveHits delivers credits(I have like 700 credits on all 3 of my sites on rotation if you wanted to know from surfing alone). I’m guessing ILoveHits gives most people little motivation to surf much.

I’m actually kinda baffled as to both why ILoveHits ranks so high on AF and why it’s on SuperSurf.

P.S. A few people surf well over 2,000 pages on multiple exchanges(I would, but I take care of myself and things get in the way).

Syd, I totally agree. I mean I surf a lot but some people REALLY surf. 500 seems like a ton for me, that’s just the number that seemed to pop up in chat the other day. But yea, that’s a ton of pages.

But! Do I enjoy the games? Sure! And prizes? Sounds good. I watch for the glove and the new gifting page. Of course I’m going to log in and see what my winnings are and try for more at Tony’s new Winners page. And what will John or Jackie give me today…let’s see! Team surfing is also nice, but mostly for the networking, chatting and community value. Let’s face it, surfing can become a little monotonous once you pass up that 500 pages mark.

Oh, and let’s not forget the occasional gem found in user’s pages! I’ve found several great tools that have made my life easier.

All in all, though, it’s about using TE’s as a marketing tool to further my business. From rotating pages to banners and text ads, list ads and thank you notes with my sig file attached.

One more comment: I WOULD say the random prize dollar is not interesting except they can be traded in for more credits. And more credits mean more marketing opportunities which means more exposure, more visitors and ultimately, more income.

Happy surfing!

The second part of the question, however, is this. What makes any TE owner think it makes sense to offer me a ticket in a prize draw, on the stipulation that I surf 500 pages in two, three or four TE’s on the same day? OK, that may attract people who want to spend all day doing nothing else, but I think there are many of us who would find that offer off-putting rather than attractive.

You did ask!
Peace and love as always

I doubt though that TEs would pay enough to attract enough people.

Downline building is more profitable plus the credits you downlines earn you.

Bonus credits are welcome of course, as are some of the ‘games’, for those who like to play them, as long as they don’t disrupt surfing for too long.

With regards to money for surfing, I am completely dis-interested. Anyone who spends their time surfing TEs for money are not marketers, but desperately poor people.

If such people are from the third world with poor economies, then it might be worthwhile surfing for money. For anyone else, use TEs as a marketing, promotion and branding tool only.

How many of the ‘give us money and we’ll surf’ crowd are IMers? Very few i suspect. So are they even looking at the sites that appear in the TE pages? I doubt it.

If people want money, then use TEs to earn it indirectly my promoting themselves or their business. Trying to make decent money directly from TEs is not going to happen. So if one is of that mindset, I suggest getting a day JOB!

Just my thoughts.
