Indeed, the point to surfing is to get as much traffic as you can to your own site. Therefore, you surf, or buy, as many views as you can. However, most people are not looking for new opportunities, they are trying to "sell" their own. Do they really see each site that they view? I do surf, as much as I can, just in case, but sometimes I feel that it is pointless if no one is actually looking at what you have to offfer.

I surf mostly larger exchanges because of the volume of people view. I try to keep up by checking alexa rankings occasionally. I like to surf sites that try to make the experience interesting so if a small exchange has an interesting new angle I will use it. One of the reasons I love ts25 is the surprise bonus points and the challenge of spelling out "surfing," which incidentally, keeps me surfing longer. with your exchange its the fun of watching your rankings improve as your surf and watching for that increased surf %. Which bye the way,I tried to upgrade on your traffic exchange but I couldn't seem to connect to paypal properly. I'll go back and try again. Nick Thank you for the post.

Your advice was bang on and something I've been screaming for years. This is a visual medium, and you NEED to look like a million bucks. A facelift for her site would have been perfect, until she got the advice from the other forum posters not to change a thing. Too bad. But alas, I completely agree. Build your brand in the larger exchanges, sustain it in the smaller ones. Surf them all, but understand that there are more people surfing the larger ones, better influence into the market. More business for you =) <abbr>Jon Olsons lastest blog post..<a href="http://www.hitexchangenews.com/news/issue-225-the-art-of-sticking-to-it/" rel="nofollow">Issue 225 - The Art of Sticking To It</a></abbr> What's the biggest shame, is that the original poster had the right idea to question about the front page and design.
