The RPOD Critic
Whether we like a Traffic Exchange or not is a personal thing however some fundamentals are essential to us all. RPOD has developed a matrix of its own to measure how Traffic Exchanges (TE) perform and what they ultimately offer FREE members. Something that not only rests with surf ratios and bonuses but includes the way a TE is presented, its user-friendliness (including emails and regular contact) as well the tools supplied to help members promote it. Additionally the ability to load a page can vary and will impact on the surf timer and therefore increase the amount of effort a surfer expends although this not always attributable to the site, it is something everyone has to consider.

RPOD tests each Traffic Exchange using two different browsers for two separate 15 minute surf sessions. The browsers we are indicated and usually comprise two of the three mentioned here: Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox and Crazy Browser. The same PC is used to carry out the tests for reasons of consistency.

1 - Networking Capability (NC) = 1 point (This relates to the opportunities offered to create online contacts.)
2 - Stickiness (S) = 1 point (This relates to a TE's ability to maintain a healthy membership because people want to return again and again.)
3 - Individualism (I) = 1 point (This relates to a TE adopting a presentation that makes it as exclusive as possible.)
4 - Surfing Experience (SE) = 1 point (This relates to the return for effort and uses measures such as time, bonuses and overall credits earned in a 15 minutes period.)
5 - Surfing Content (SC) = 3 points (This relates to the displays allowed - a loss of points reflects the inclusion of dead pages not weeded out, gambling, pornographic, extremist sites and an overly high proportion of pages not given time to load properly)
6 - Support Contact & Tools (SCT) = 2 points (This relates to the efforts made by the Traffic Exchange owner/s to provide fresh information (i.e. newsletters) and software that help members build referrals and community spirit.)
 The Total at the end shows the number of points accredited against the potential that could be awarded.

Dragon Surf

SURFING EXPERIENCE
You might be forgiven thinking this is going to be something like Dungeons & Dragons, it isn't. The basic surf browser script is designed for speed and coupled with a 10 seconds timer gives you just that. It really is very efficient. There's very little degradation between transitions from one page to the next so time loss is kept to an absolute minimum. Purists will tell you that a 10 seconds timer equates to 90 pages being surfed, but we have not yet found any Traffic Exchange to achieve this theoretical goal including Click Voyager, the TE that gave us the most credits for a 15 minutes session, with 62 pages surfed. Dragon Surf was able to achieve 66 pages surfed which is something of an achievement, had the bonuses run in line with Click Voyager on the day tested it's quite possible Dragon Surf would be at the top of our league table. Additionally don't forget this is a FREE members exercise so if you've upgraded as a Dragon Surf member you really are well off as far as credit surfing is concerned. From the other end of the spectrum if you are advertising on Dragon Surf you can rest assured that your pages are fully loading and  because of a large and growing membership will be having lots of visibility.
Dragon Surf Banners are one of the best - see example below
