    What do you guys think about auto-surf and things like that?

    I've heard it brings quite a traffic, but i don't know if you actually benefit from it in any way...

    And I also think, that if your main revenue comes from ads, you're probably risking on banning yourself from those networks.

    What are your opinions on this one guys?

    The auto-surfs that I know of, do this:

    You are provided with a script/toolbar/code or something. You click and visit 2 (or any given number, depending on the network) sites at random, and in return, your site is shown on random, to one other surfer. So basically, if you could make your browser refresh/auto-click/auto open links from the site, you would be recieving free traffic, and the only thing you do, is leaving your browser on to do the job.

    I have never used these things, I'm too afraid of what it can do for google pr, my adsence, and things like that. It would surely boost your alexa traffic rank, but what's alexa rank worth, if you can't monetize it?

    If you get akick out of watching your hit counter spin then this is just what your looking for.

    Other than that its not going to do much of anything for you.

    When auto-surf programs ask you for money, more often are involved in fraud schemes.

    Other auto-surf programs are based on link exchange and credits for "surfing" sites. No benefits at all since being automated, people is just clicking for earning points or rewards, not taking in mind what you are offering within your site.
