Autosurf programs have been around a long time, and can be found in various shapes and forms. They are also known as paid-to-surf programs, because they often offer you an opportunity to upgrade, earning a small percentage of that investment on a daily basis. On top of that, you will gain various advantages. If you upgrade, you will undoubtedly be disappointed, very rarely will this do you any good. The business is a shady one, and programs pop up ? and disappear ? almost at random. Many are the surfers who have lost their money, invested in ad packs or upgrades.

If you use these programs correct, you will find ways of adding a steady stream of visitors to your site, without spending a dime on upgrades. The thing to focus on is quantity, NOT quality. All you need is a computer and some time to set things up;

First off, find ? and sign up on about five to ten programs.

Activate the accounts by surfing the specified amount of pages.

Allocate about 30% of your bonus credits, and the few credits earned by surfing.

Then do it again.

As earlier mentioned, the trick is quantity. The more autosurfs you can find, the better off you will be in the end.

When you have gathered a bunch of programs, and you have both activated and allocated, it is time to maximize your page views. Many programs offer you bonus credits to promote them, either as a percentage of your referrals surfing, free credits for every unique visitors you send them, or a combination of both. What you want to do now is add the referral URL of those autosurfs dishing out more visitors than you can possibly earn. You want to add these referral pages in rotation at the programs not able to bring you visitors at the same speed you are surfing.

Look at the respective stats, to see where the credits you allocated earlier, to see where the credits are spent rapidly, and where they will last forever.

Some programs allow you to add only a few pages, so take a moment to think about how you build your small web of autosurfs. The better you allocate, the more traffic you'll receive in the end.

If you find yourself stuck with unused credits, I bet you can find some other page to promote. If you don't have any additional pages of your own to promote, simply sign up for an affiliate program or two, and send them some of your traffic. Most of the affiliate programs won't allow this kind of traffic pointed directly to their domain, you need to make one, or several pages with clear affiliate links. Considering most autosurfers are webmasters trying to promote their website, promoting a 2-tier affiliate program might be a good idea.

Another good idea, if you have more credits left, is to look into traffic exchanges. They work similar to autosurfs, and the hits you have can be put to use referring people to these traffic exchanges.
