Main idea

Traffic exchanges programs (TEP) are a quick way to produce hits to your new shiny site. Main idea is to sign up service, set up your own webpage and either collect credits by surfing or pay actual money and get credits without surfing by yourself. After getting credits you can assign them and get your own site rotated and visible to other surfers.

TEP show your (and other) site for 10-30 seconds before the surfer is allowed to click to the next site. This means, you have only some second to draw members attention, so you need to have really unique and targeted page to show. I'll talk more on this on my next article, but now i want to present how to get credits fast by surfing several TEP at once.

Opera setup

Sign up to eight to nine TEP (see links below for easy access). Use same username, password and email for accounts. Activate accounts from email, that you got after sign up process. Get the Opera browser and open 8-9 tabs on it. Open "surf url" for each TEP and then save session. Surf url is visibly promoted on member area of each TEP. From Opera common preferences set "on start up: continue from saved session". Now when you start up the Opera, you get all traffic exchange sites opened automatic and you can start surfing them in turn. With Mac you can use shortcut key to move on next tab: alt-cmd-left and alt-cmd-right.

If you don't want to use same account information (username and password) for each site, just collect them to the separate document and keep it near to you. Some of the TEP allows surfing without member sign in after sign up, some doesn't. You can also use Opera's Notepad to collect necessary account and link information. Just select Notes from Tools menu.

After getting up with surfing its time to share knowledge and use referrer links and commissions thru them to get even more credits. But as said, i'll come to this later on my longer article, which talk about Internet Business Opportunities being my second investigation subject related to economy and marketing.
