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. |

Blue Surf

SURFING
EXPERIENCE
This site returned one of the highest credit
ratios for a 15 minutes surfing session so far. Bonuses were very
regular and generous. The surfing area is very efficient, although on
occasion a delay with the materialization of the icons that you need to
match occurs even when using a broadband connection. One error page was
displayed which irritated rather than spoiled the surf experience while
I waited 10 seconds to move on. This is a really good surfing site,
however compared with the rest of the site which is very tasteful the
surfing arena lacks personality something found at many competitor
sites.

Blue Surf
is still in its infancy but has acquired around 5,000
members in a very short time which must say much for the way its owner
is handling things. The enthusiasm of this owner is mirrored throughout
an industry that is still finding its 'feet', but what makes this one
special arrives in the emails or newsletters that cannot disguise just
how much the owner is enjoying this entrepreneurial adventure.
The site is both good looking and efficient much like a German car.
You won't be disappointed by the regular bonuses while you surf or the
10 seconds timer.
