AutoSurf Sites Final 2010 Review

Jan. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- There are thousands of these sites all about the internet and when choosing one, one must know some of the pros and cons. How do you know what to look for? How do you know what is best for your site.
First, we must look at their stats; at their ranks amongst the other sites. A good place to look is the Alexa rankings. Now keep in mind how this company tracks and evaluates. For a site to receive a rank, it must first be registered. Second, for the site to count visitors, the visitors must have an Alexa “Toolbar” installed on their computer. All in all though, the Alexa Ranks are a great judge of how many people visit their sites. It is the premier place for site visitor evaluation.
Okay, we all know about Google and their ranks. Probably the most important rank to receive. The ranks are based on a lot of factors. Google Page Rank for a particular page is directly proportional to the number of links that point to it. However, these links are not all given the same weight. Google claims that some links are more important because they originate on pages that are themselves considered important. So, out of two links from two different pages, a link coming from a page with a higher Page Rank will be given more weight in the algorithm. Besides being dependent on Page Rank of the originating page, the weight of a link is also inversely proportional to the number of links originating from the same page. That is, a link coming from a page with 20 other links on it will be given much less weight than the link coming from a page with only 2 links. That means that it is possible for a page with only one backlink to have a higher Page Rank than a page with multiple backlinks, if this link originates from an “important” page with few links. On top of these factors, in determining link weight Google also takes into consideration whether or not the linking page is in the same domain or on the same server, geographical proximity, text within the anchor text and immediately surrounding it, and originating page content. So it is safe to say the Alexa evaluates website hits and Google evaluates backlinks. Now that we know a little about how these sites achieve their ranks, let’s move on to finding a good surf site.
What we, at AutoSurf Sites, have done over the last 6 months is to go to the site, sign up to be a member, browse the site for their highlights and downfalls and then made an assessment on the value of the site. First thing we determine is the “surfing rate”. This is the amount of sites that you must view in order to receive a credit or a website hit. They range from between .4, .5, .7, 1, and up and is also determined by your membership level. Second, we must look at the surf timer. This is how long you must view a page in order to receive the hit. Timer options range from between 60 seconds and go all the way down to 3 seconds. You must decide what is more important to your site: numerous short visits or a mediocre amount of visitors who stay on the site longer. Granted the longer someone stays on your site, the lower the bounce rate (Bounce rate (sometimes confused with exit rate) is a term used in web site traffic analysis. It essentially represents the percentage of initial visitors to a site who "bounce" away to a different site, rather than continue on to other pages within the same site.) So, once again, what does your site need? A third factor in deciding which site to use is the amount of members they have. The more active members they have, the better. You want your site hit by as many different people as you can. This contributes to “unique visitors” (A unique visitor is a statistic describing a unit of traffic to a Web site, counting each visitor only once in the time frame of the report. This statistic is relevant to site publishers and advertisers as a measure of a site's true audience size, equivalent to the term "Reach" used in other media.) When you surf a site with only a handful of members, you get a high hit count but a low unique visitor count. Last but not least, is how many sites are in rotation. The more sites that need be seen, the less frequent yours will be seen. Although this helps with unique hits, it decreases your site page views.
And now, at the conclusion of this past year, we have made our final conclusions as to which sites are worthy of our “Seal of Approval’ These sites have ranked the highest amongst our visitors and our staff.
1a. Ablaze With Traffic - We are so much more than a traffic exchange. We are a full scale marketing system. We are blending more marketing options in one place. A system that grows and multiplies every day. We here at Ablaze are proud to give you one of the most comprehensive marketing systems. http://ablazewithtraffic.com/index.php?ref=11418
1b. Hartzheim- They give you 3 pages to use of each ad type banners auto surf text and mini banners. That’s 12 ads total. But our rotation of surf is different than most other systems. We rotate members then pages this means user #1, then user#2, and then user#3 etc. If you have credits your site will be shown more often. http://hartzheim.com/Surf/Referral.php?ID=65
These are the best two sites that we have found to surf at. We, at http://autosurfsites.info recommend these two sites to anyone who wishes to get their sites seen.
