A good traffic exchange is a clean traffic exchange and with that in mind I’ve made some enhancements to the reporting of sites that disrupt your surfing session. On the far right hand side of the surf footer you will see a number. That number is the ID of the site that is currently displayed. If a site locks up your browser or contains too many popups, breaks the frame etc just make a note of that ID when you click on the ‘Report’ link and include it in your report. It will make it much easier for me to locate the offending site.

When you go to the report site, you will see a list of the past 5 sites you surfed in your current session … so if you forgot to note the ID you may be able to identify it by the name or the URL. At the moment the site list only lists sites in your current surf session. The next change will be to add these to the database so that if a site messes things up so much that you have to close your browser or reboot, you’ll still be able to see the last few sites you surfed when you log back in.

In light of the removal of the 100 per day surfing bonus I’ve made a change to our random referral guy. You didn’t think I would just take something away and not replace it with a cool new feature did you?

Whirly used to display a splash page encouraging members to join through your referral link. He still does that, but he now displays your page as well! That’s right … your page will be displayed in over 20 top traffic exchanges. I won’t let the whole cat out of the bag but let me just say that the number of credits I purchase each month to devote to Whirly isn’t trivial. It includes:

Traffic Hoopla – 10,000 credits
I Love Hits – 7,000 credits
Doctor Traffic – approx. 5,000 credits
TE Blaster – 3,000 credits

Then there’s the monthly credits at TrafficPods, TS25, 10kHits4UNow,MysticalMaze,TsunamiGold and many other top programs.

I know what you’re thinking – HOW DARE YOU USE MY CREDITS IN ALL THOSE PLACES! The best part is that you don’t lose a single credit. The whole point of having Whirly out there is to help you brand yourself and sell products WITHOUT taking away any of your WhirlwindTraffic credits. So, all of this extra activity is totally free. All you need to do to have your site included is upgrade to one of our pro memberships OR surf 50 or more sites per day.

I’ve removed the 100 per day surfing bonus for the moment until we can get the traffic moving along a bit faster. The 50 per day surfing bonus will stay – so you can still get 125 bonus credits each week.

WhirlwindTraffic is growing but as a responsible admin I think it’s important that I deliver good value and a good rate of traffic flow. You can help us and help yourself at the same time. Put your WhirlwindTraffic referral link out there and let’s make 2008 a huge year of growth! By referring members to WhirlwindTraffic you gain several excellent benefits:

* If your referred members are surfing regularly you stand a great chance of winning a prize in the weekly performance contest.

* When your referred members surf you receive a percentage of their activity as page view credits for your own site(s).

* If any of your referred members purchase credits or an upgraded membership you receive a commission.

So, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain! I’m a little bit biased but I think WhirlwindTraffic is a great traffic exchange! There are more benfits than most traffic exchanges offer, nice fast clean surfing … heck, you’re doing your friends and associates a favour by referring them!
