How to Make Money?:
#1) When you open a free account, our automatic webpage rotator will show you different websites of our members.
You will view each website for 15 seconds.
It is like watching a slide-show.
You earn one half "credit" for each site you view.
When you have earned at least 100 credits in a day, you will receive a Cash Payment to your account. Free members receive 1/4% on their Free $10.00 sign up bonus for 365 days.
If they have not Upgraded within that time period, their $10.00 Sign up Bonus will be deleted.
Upgraded members will receive 1/2% of their "Member Level" per day for 365 days.
We give you a Free Member Level of $10 to start and that earns 3 cents a day for 365 days as a Free Member, and 5 cents a day for 365 days as an Upgraded member.
You can also earn Extra Cash by clicking on our Bonus Cash links while you are viewing member websites.
Upgrade your account with $10 or more to increase your earnings and earn 1/2% per day for 365 days on each Upgraded amount.
Paid members get extra benefits, including commissions for Referring New Members.
#2) Free Advertising:
You can add your own web pages to the rotator for others to visit.
Each visit will deduct one credit from your account.
Free members can add 5 of their own websites into the rotator, and Upgraded member can add 1000 of their websites to the rotator.
You can earn, win or buy extra credits.
#3) Paid Advertising:
You can use Trade Free Traffic to promote your web pages to our highly responsive members, without having to view sites.
Simply join and buy discount credits, and let them do the work for you.
Most people will use one, two or all three ways.

Why is my site Suspended?
It breaks out of our surf bar frame, produces alert boxes, or contains unacceptable content or scripts. Our rules are simple. If you break our rules deliberately - with war games, adult sites, sites that disrupt surfing or try to download anything, etc, you will be BANNED FOR LIFE. Sites must be legal and family-safe. We do not permit popups, rotators unless you are an upgrade advertiser, re-directs, adult or offensive sites, or any site that disrupts surfing such as youtube. We will not respond to emails about suspended sites or accounts. It is YOUR responsibility to follow our easy rules.

What does CPH mean?
Members who have paid to upgrade can use the Credits Per Hour (CPH) setting to RESTRICT the number of times a site can be displayed in an hour. You can change the CPH by clicking the Edit button for the site.

Why have I reached a daily surfing limit?
The maximum credits you can earn per day is 5000, 100 to earn cash, plus cash bar bonuses. That will get you at least 5000 visits to your sites. Our ratio is very high at 0.8:1, even for free members. However, you can continue to surf to a maximum of 5000 credits per day, to increase your advertising, click on more Bonus cash and credit links, and give your sites more credits. When you have reached 5000 credits, the surf bar will automatically block your account from surfing any more during that day. You can buy more credits on our Upgrade/Buy page, which increases revenue for our exchange and the member who referred you.

Why does the auto surfing stop?
There could be a server, connection problem or slowdown, but most likely, a "frame-breaking" site has removed our surf-bar frame. These sites are banned but some are loaded from other sites. We remove those when we find them. If you watch the screen while you earn your money (as you should), you may be able to continue by clicking your Back button a few times, or the Refresh/Reload button if the screen is completely blank.

How can you pay out so much?
Some of your fee will be absorbed by running costs but the remainder will become part of the pool to be paid to members. In order for you to receive more than the amount you paid, the program relies on future earnings from the growth of memberships and other revenues. As long as the program continues to receive income during your membership, you will be paid.

Are payouts guaranteed?
No. The proposed payout is 1/2% of your Member Level for each day that you earn 100 or more credits for viewing other members pages. Bonus, referral, and purchased credits are excluded from earning. The reason it was set at a modest 1/2% is to guarantee the long term growth of Trade Free Traffic.Info. Other Surf Advertising sites that pay higher percentages will not last. If you look at the long term numbers, they cannot continue to pay those percentages to their members. We have set up a program here, that can guarantee a long term profit for all of our members. The percentage may be adjusted up or down depending on the inflow of revenues. Downward adjustments may be necessary in periods of slow growth and could potentially reach zero at times to keep the program operating.

Is this legal?
It is not our intention to break any laws. If you participate, it is up to you to check the laws applicable in your locality.

Is it a scam?
No. We want you to be fully informed of the way the program works and the risks involved.

Why is my site not being shown?
The selection of sites for display is completely random from the many hundreds of eligible sites in our database. However, your sites will be shown as you will see the number of credits you have allocated to each site goes down. Also, you will not see your own sites in rotation, because the script blocks each member from seeing their own sites. This is done so you do not waste credits, and you get the most for your advertising. Things to check: 1. Make sure you have allocated credits to your sites 2. Ensure your sites are not "Waiting", "Suspended" or "On_Hold" 3. If you have CPH, do not set it too low as it RESTRICTS the number of times a site can be shown in any hour. Usually, better left at zero (off) 4. If you have only one site, try adding it several times to increase the chances of it being picked. The Stats at your site may not show our hits, because they all come from the same IP address (ours), or because our timer may be too short to register.

How do I make payments?
You can make payments with AlertPay,PayPal, or you can pay by Google-Check-Out. All payments must be made through the Upgrade/Buy link on your member page. If you have already PAID to upgrade (you are an "Upgraded" member and not "Free"). The TFTI Admin will sometimes allow Upgrade from earnings. This depends on the growth of the program. If you see the Upgrade from account earnings in your Payment box, then you can Upgrade. If you do not, the feature is disabled for the time being. You can also use your cash to buy upgrades for your referrals sometimes. Click the Upgrade buttons on your Referral page. You do not get commission on payments made by yourself. This feature can also be disabled, at the discretion of the admin. If you are a FREE member, you cannot use your Cash Balance to upgrade. You must first buy an upgrade through your payment processor. Free members cannot recieve a Cash-out payment. You must be an Upgraded member to receive a Cash-out.

I surfed a lot of sites today. Where is my extra pay?
We do not pay you for all the credits you earn. We pay for each DAY that you earn at least 100 credits. Earning extra credits means that your sites can be displayed more but they will not earn more money for you. We limit you to viewing a maximum of 5000 sites per day. You can click on the Bonus Cash Links and earn extra cash when viewing the 5000 sites each day.
