Trophy Hits - New Surfing Contest - Actually View People's Sites!

We know that the whole point of traffic exchanges is actually getting views to your site. Sometimes in the mad rush to earn credits people click, click, click and just keep their eyes open for prize pages and verification pages. There are even things to make that easier for you to do. And sometimes with chatting and surfing multiple sites simultaneously, the actual viewing and paying attention to people's sites get lost a bit.

There have been some social networking surfing exchange that have been trying to change that which is great and  I think some of the quality of traffic can be higher on those. However, sometimes in the rush to leave comments that might get rewarded, people are sometimes just copying and pasting generic messages that don't have anything in particular to do with the site. Or just using sites to get social networking contacts. Neither of these things are totally horrible - quality of traffic and making contacts is definitely better and that's good. And it is things like this that the industry has to do to try to get people focused at looking at sites and connecting with people to make surfing more viable again. It's up to surfers too to participate in such a way at these and regular surf sites in the spirit in which we all design and try to run them - to help people get quality traffic.

So we're having a surfing contest to try and get people looking at your site:

1. For every accurate abuse report we get for a site that is having a problem - i.e. the site no longer is there, the site displays with a bunch of error messages, the site tries to break the frame, etc - you'll get 500 banner impressions

2. For every banner or text ad that you submit you'll get a bonus of 100 banner or text ad credits (we want to have good fresh stuff in rotation!)

3. For every site that you submit you'll get an extra 10 credits (again with good stuff in rotation)

4. For every banner or text ad that you report that has a bad link or bad image (you can right click and you'll see what the url is and you can use that to report it as a support ticket) you'll also get a 500 banner or text ad impressions

5. For every site that you submit a report for that is a good site and you click Report site anyway and submit a review of that goes beyond "good site" that has actual content indicating you viewed the site - you'll get 100 credits

6. For every 3 sites that you do that kind of review for you'll get 1 solo ad @ Trophy Hits and the 300 credits

7. For every 5 sites that you do that kind of review you'll also get a tweet of your site in addition to the solo ad and the 500 credits


This will run the whole month of October. If you're not a member of Trophy Hits already, now is a great time to join!


Happy Surfing!
