TrafficSwarm.com
This seems to be some kind of traffic exchange, where they really want you to change your start page to their site.
If you do this you will get 19000 hits per month, or something like that.
You are suppose to get 100 free credit for signing up, but after you
sign up then they tell you that now you need to get activated.
Activated means you earned at least 50 credits, my guess is when you
get to 50 they will once again switch it to something else. I
really don't like the old bate and switch advertising they use.
You can also purchase credits to get your account activated, this they
claim will reduce cheating. (not sure how that works, and
they never really explain it, I am sure the same guy who thought up the
free 100 credits - bate and switch came up with this one too)
Here is the link to TrafficSwarm, I don't even know what to say about this, if you sign up and start getting traffic from this site please let me know.
I am wondering if my link will even work, I was suppose to put some
Java code for the link but I didn't want to do that, so I just used a
regular html text link instead.
It looks like there are two ways to link to them one is for traffic hit
count, the 2nd is to refer people to sign up, which does not get you
any traffic count but if they do sign up then you get credit for it.

This is the sign up link I believe.
I have tried clicking on the different links I have for this site and for every few clicks I seem to get credit for maybe one.
Part of the problem may be that you only get credit for one click per ip address per day or something like that.
Other than that it may be that I just don't understand how it is suppose to work.
They create a Home page for you with google ads and other affiliate
program banners on it, so when you send someone there you get credit
for one click (hopefully).
I am not sure what I think about this idea. Because it seems to
me you would be better off just putting the google ads and affiliate
banners on a page on your own site and send your traffic there where
you would get the benefits from the clicks.
Rather than trading visitors and hoping the one you traded for clicks more than the one you sent away.
I guess it is easier to put up a link than to create a whole page so from that point of view it would be easier.
Part of the problem I think I was having with the click count is that
when you send a visitor there then you get some credit if they sign up,
if they don't sign up then you get nothing.
They also have a surf system where if you log onto their site then
start looking at their web pages then you earn credits for that.
