FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

What is a traffic exchange?
A traffic exchange site like this allows you to receive visitors to your website just by viewing other members websites! It's a bit like television advertising, you sit back and watch series of adverts from other members, the only difference is that while you are watching you will be earning credits that can be 'spent on advertising your own products and services.

How much does it cost?
It's free! You earn credits by viewing the web pages belonging to other members and then you 'spend' these credits by showing your own web pages to the other members.

How else can I earn more credits?
You can also earn more credits by advertising your referral link. You will get bonus credits for every unique visitor to your referral link PLUS more bonus credits if they sign up PLUS credits for every site they view after they signup! Every time your referral is shown on a different program your will receive 1 credit.

How can you afford to offer a free service?
Most of our members use our service free, however some members want to show their pages more often, or do not have the time to view pages and so they buy extra credits. We also sell other advertising opportunities such as banner impressions on the site. These sales help to pay the running costs of the traffic exchange.

How many credits do I earn?
With your browser window maximized you will earn 1.0 credits for every page you view. With your browser window minimized you will earn 0.8 credits for every page your view. Gold members earn 1.0 minimized and 1.2 maximized.

How long do I have to view each page for?
10 seconds. Page change automatically - you do not have to click anything, that's why we call it autosurfing!

What is the advantage of upgrading to Gold Membership?
By upgrading your account to Gold you receive a monthly bonus of extra credits plus you earn more credits per page view. For example, Free Members earn 0.8 credits per page view if they minimize their browser window, or 1.0 credits per page view if they maximize their browser window. As a Gold Member you earn 1.0 credits minimized and 1.2 credits maximized.

What type of websites do you allow?
This traffic exchange is designed for people of all ages and therefore sites must be suitable for a general audience. We accept sites from all countries and in all languages and reserve the right to refuse any sites we fell unsuitable or that cause problems with the program. In particular we do not allow sites that are, or have:

url/domain redirection
Frame breakers
Site rotators
Pornography or other content deemed unsuitable for an all-age audience
Offensive, illegal or racist content
Paid-to-Promote sites
Wargames and similar sites
Virus, adware, spyware, malware, trogans
Hidden iframes

How long does it take to have my sites approved?
All sites have to be approved by us before we can show them to other members. We try to check new sites at least once every 24 hours. Sometimes, especially at weekends and holidays it can take longer.

Why was my site suspended?
If your site was suspended it was probably because it broke one our rules above.

I can't access the site, or when I surf it keeps stopping after a few sites, what is wrong?
This is probably the question we are asked most. The problem is easily resolved by deleting all the cookies and files in the temporary internet memory of your pc, plus delete the browser history. It can also help to re-boot your pc after deleting these files. The reason is that while you are surfing the site you visit can download cookies and files so that next time you visit that site it loads faster. This is a normal process but because with autosurf you can view thousands of sites these temporary memories on your pc can become full and so cause problems with traffic exchanges such as this. There might also be a corrupted file in one of the memories so deleting all the files solves the problem.

How do I contact you?
The best way is to send a contact report form that you find on the site. Click on the 'Contact Us' button. Alternatively you can email us at admin@rpatraffic.com Please always state your user id# and the name of the traffic exchange.
