How do the Traffic Exchanges 'stack-up' in regards the number of bonuses/credits and pages surfed in a short time and what kind of surfing experience should you expect as a
FREE member?

Surfing Analysis

  • Please note that your line connection speed has an impact on how fast you are able to surf if you are using a standard dial-up 56 modem your surfing experience will be slower.

  • For these tests a broadband connection speed is used for with a speed of 7.6Mbps.

  • Other factors also contribute towards the speed that you are able to surf e.g. hosting server, region and time zone.

  • Although many Traffic Exchange scripts originate from the same source if they are hosted at different locations an impact on the speed with which they transmit can be detected.

  • These tests were carried out in the United Kingdom during GMT daylight hours.

  • A single PC was used for the purposes of consistency. The PC is an Advent T9304 equipped with a Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz, 2.00GB of RAM. The operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 SP2.

  • Four browsers are used (i.e. Internet Explorer 7, Crazy Browser, Mozilla Firefox and Opera 9.27). two for each test in two separate sessions in order to produce the best surf times detailed in tests.

Test Analysis

  • For both the surfer and advertiser the way a Traffic Exchange surf browser system behaves is of fundamental importance.

  • There's absolutely no point an advertiser promoting at a Traffic Exchange that doesn't display its content adequately.

  • Equally a surfer needs a sufficiently healthy surf mechanism for them to be prepared to commit time and effort. Loading delays, poor scripts, server hosting and a gamut  of other issues can lead to surfer's deserting an exchange.

  • RPOD reviews Traffic Exchanges through the eyes of a surfer, because these are the most important human ingredient. However we also highlight aspects appropriate to that of the advertiser.

  • Additionally Traffic Exchange management is obviously significant and although these tests do not focus at any length on this aspect we do touch on it, especially where enthusiastic owners are obviously working to enhance the environment of their site for the benefit of their members.

Traffic Soldiers

Traffic Soldiers has over 15,000 Active Members

SURFING EXPERIENCE

With military precision the Traffic Soldiers surf browser churns relentlessly on dispelling any suggestion that a three framed browser script is slower than its two framed counterpart.

With a 15,000+ active membership there's no denying the potential visibility gained using Traffic Soldiers as a promotional platform of choice for many. Pages load quickly with minimal delays to the timer frame hence we were able to achieve a commendable best of 74 pages surfed during the 15 minutes test sessions. To date, over a six months period, we have only experienced a single site actually able to achieve its Theoretical Page Surf Capability (TPSC) - Blue Surf. Whilst time measured losses are small they do impact on the surfing experience to both the surfer and advertiser. In practical terms it is possible for Traffic Exchanges to improve their surf browsers as shown by both Blue Surf and The Cinnamon Hollow simply by adopting some small tweaks. The potential for increases in the number of pages surfed should be sufficient to motivate the majority of TE owners.

Casualties whilst surfing at Traffic Soldiers were most certainly related to the single banner ads that often failed to materialise. The text ads did not share the same fate however they do not stand out sufficiently to draw attention - take a look at GLADIATOR HITS to see how this can be resolved.

Banned Sites

Extremely useful feature that allows surfers to identify sites that do not act in accord with some basic networking protocols.

The fact people are out there trying to create and develop an online income is one thing - trying to do so by cheating in a way that interferes with many others another. Eventually the Internet Community will develop stronger operating principles that everyone will have to adhere, in the meantime, Traffic Exchanges such as Traffic Soldiers carry the weighty task of policing its own borders.

Hopefully a generic list of banned sites will one day soon become standard among the TEs and then we will all be able to enjoy TEs in the way envisaged by their creators, without irritating, unwanted promotions that do little other than mar the efforts of hardworking individuals.

Summary

To imagine that a 'good' Traffic Exchange cannot be improved upon would certainly be a mistake when it has to compete in a very fluid environment. Around since 2004
Traffic Soldiers is a 'vet' in the truest sense of the word however the competition is fast developing especially those with strong themes and in order to maintain its position as a promotional platform leader it is impossible not to feel a need for the site to undergo some artistic development that highlights its chosen theme. View Rockin' Clix as a recent example of how to build on this area.

Reviewing Traffic Exchanges (TE) today is no longer simply visiting a site that mirrors its competitors and therefore offers nothing new. If an owner is serious about making their TE work it shows. Visiting some TEs is like visiting a 'ghost town' whilst those being worked on give off a buzz that is unmistakeable. Traffic Soldiers possesses a very 'active buzz'


Traffic Soldiers has been around since 2004.

 

A Few of the Site Features

  • Dedicated Administration - This major manpower resource ensures the site is well managed reflected by an absence of frame-breakers etc while surfing.

  • Regular Promotional Offers - worthwhile and beneficial to surfers

  • Personal Splash Page Creator - becoming something of a standard feature among the better Traffic Exchanges

  • Instantaneous Credits Purchase - no delays for admin to confirm the purchase, your credits are added immediately upon purchase.

  • EMail Down-line Facility - another feature that is becoming standard at better Traffic Exchanges - this allows you to network with individuals who join as a result of your promotional efforts.

  • List of Banned Sites - see note on the left and list in centre.

2008 Changes/Updates

  • New promotional offers.

ENTERTAINMENT

Many will look at this heading and wonder what on earth is meant, after all why should a promotional platform consider entertaining visitors?

The simple answer is because they can and many already do so. It is without doubt a means by drawing and retaining members.

Traffic Soldiers is yet to join its competitors by offering games of any description. Yet the potential is there - think strategically!
