Reflections on Tabbed Surfing sytems

Reflections on tabbed surf systems

Since I own a traffic exchange I joined may other TEs to promote it. Of course I have to surf them all regularly. In the beginning when I had not joined many yet I surfed TEs one by one, explored many sites shown in TEs and joined them. Among those many TEs and later also safelists TAEs and mailers.

At some point I joined so many that I could not keep up with surfing and I started to look for systems to surf TEs more effectively and in less time. I found several based on tabsurfing where you can surf more than one TE simultaneously. In some cases you earn extra credits for doing so i.e. with CommandoSurf, NerdSurfing and several others.

There are several systems for tab surfing. I think TE browser was one of the first. However it only works for TEs listed in TE Browser. As a free member you can surf 5 but by surfing much you can earn a few surf tabs extra. You can build downlines in listed TEs (limited for free members) and you can set up your own surf groups. You are warned when there is a prize page.

An other well known one is QuickTabSurf. No downline building in there, surf groups or prelisted TEs. However it is free and works with any number of TEs. A minor disadvantage is that you need your mouse and a hot key to go to the next tab.

My absolute favorite is TurboTabSurf. It is not free but offers a free trial of 30 days. There are many TEs listed and some predefined groups you can surf. But the system also works great with TEs that are not yet listed. There is no limitation on how many you can surf. And no warnings for prize pages either. Which is good since it forces you to pay attention. And you should, that is the whole idea of a traffic exchange.

TurboTab is very turbo because you can choose the middle mouse wheel to move to the next tab. The mouse pointer goes automatically to the area where you need to click in most cases which also saves a lot of time. Actually it saves me so much time that I can afford to wander off to explore a site further despite the fact I joined so many other TEs.

As for the traffic exchange idea I already said the idea is to visit other sites. However I see no point in watching a site for 30 seconds that I have already joined unless it is an announcement of a new feature or surf promo.

It is a pity that there are many surfers that are only surfing for cash. But this type of surfer won't join anything that is not free and that does not offer cash prizes, regardless if they view a site for 5 seconds or 30 seconds. I think small prizes are ok for occasional surf parties, however I think that TEs that offer big cash prizes standard or cash surfing in general are not good for the TE industry. But that is just my opinion. A TE is basically not a money making opportunity but a vessel to promote money making opportunities and services related to promoting and branding a business plus internet related business tools.

Most services mentioned are listed in the free SBT Downline Builder. I am promoting my personal page everywhere so I get by with far less credits than when I had to promote those individually. As I write this about 200 top programs are mugged. Every member can promote his/her personal page and add his/her own programs on top. People can join under them in every Mug listing they put in their personal ID for, without the need for people to join the downlinebuilder first. It works great especially in TEs.
