Manual surfing is also known as hit exchange or traffic exchange and has become extremely popular nowadays. However one basic problem remains with this system and that is, people hardly know how to use it properly and therefore they are making much less than they actually should. When you use this system properly, you can actually expect very good results and will be making quite a number of sales. But keep in mind that they are extremely time consuming, more than that of forums etc. however; if you approach them properly then they are sure to bear results.

So what are these manual surfs or traffic exchanges? Well, it is slightly like what you are thinking but it is somewhat different. It is really exchanging traffic with other sites in lieu of giving them your traffic to share but there are certain things involved. Firstly, you will have to sign up with a traffic exchange site and give them your URL. Once they accept and it is processed, they will give you another URL which is your surf URL. This URL that they give you will be used by you for surfing. Now, it is nothing different from your surfing sites on your own but if you look at I from the point of view of marketing then surely it is much better.

The prime advantage that you get out of this system is that for every site that you visit using this URL, you get one credit point. If you visit that site again then you get another credit. Sometimes you may just like to surf sites without thinking of business or how it will profit you then to you will continuously keep on getting credits. Now you may ask what the profit in getting these credits is and how will they help you promote and sell your product, site and services? Well it is actually very easy to understand.

See, when you receive a credit from any site, it means that one person who has visited that site will be directed to your site for viewing and further consideration. As soon as this person visits, you lose that credit which you had acquired and are left with credits which have been gathered from other sites. Now the point is that when you visit these sites you will be given a time frame of ten seconds for which you have to stay on those sites to get credit. Similarly, when one person from the other sites traffic is visiting your site, he or she will only get ten to thirty seconds to view your site.

Now this is not profitable because if your site has a very large size then it will obviously take a lot of time to load and your site will not be fully viewable to the visitor. So your thirty seconds go waste with you not being able to do anything profitable out of it. Also, no visitor would be so interested in any site which takes a long time to load, so as to come back a second time and view.

So it is really a bad process but you can stand a chance of making some sales.
