Traffic Exchanges safe for work?

    I was thinking of surfing on a traffic exchange while at work (office work). Do you think the people looking at everyones history will notice something suspicious? I mean you are looking at a new site every 10-15 sec so will they be like "hey, why have you been on 100's of different websites this afternoon?" does each rotated site add a cookie? or?

    It looks like you've given yourself the answer as to why you should forget and put in the work that you're getting paid for. How would you like it someone was playing around when you were having to pay them?

    Traffic exchange is not so safe especially if you have adsense on your site.

    Great Thought!

    My workplace has vids and graphics removed - maybe if you used a auto TE and found a way to get benefit for that but then again you could leave your PC at home running and doing that and not risking your living!

    Workplace System Dept can pull up every keystroke on top of every cached webpage you ever look at so the temptation hopefully for you will be ZERO!

    a riddle for you !

    Apart from putting yourself into getting the risk of being questioned by your employees, I don't think traffic exchange is a good way of traffic building as well. It will only make up the quantity, not quality. The traffic will not make you any money in the long run.

    even a basic office gateway/firewall has a log function. But most admin do go looking at the log everyday, they do look for bandwidth though cos it pretty easy to spot. So i guess if your not using a lot of bandwidth then it be ok

    but definitely not ok for you boss

    there is nothing profit by doing traffic exchange as you will not earn a penny as well google might banned you...

    Anyway if you are going to sell the website then you can have high traffic rate to show to the buyer.

    generally traffic exchanges use frames. Hence I think in your browser history you dont getting information about each and every site you visit through these traffic exchanges. But I would not recommend you to use traffic exchanges coz right now even a small advertiser can know about your performance about your site and there are many monitoring services. So if they find that you are using these then you can get a bad reputation and your traffic is not at all counted.
