Earn from Scratch - My Online Journey

There are 2 kinds of traffic exchage--manual surf and autosurf.

Obviously in manual surf-theres an activity needed. You have to click a code to continue to the next site. While autosurf-you can leave it on. But you have to check once in a while just to make sure your credits are incrementing.

Both have timer and in most cases -manual surf have faster timer compared to autosurf.

You earn credit everytime you browse website/s and you can use them (credits earned) to show your site as well-or use them for your banners by converting credits to impression and basically thats why its commonly known as Traffic Exchange site.

Some have PTC section so be sure to check and try different features while some have text ads. Upgrading in Traffic exchanges is also an option -some find it good and cheap way to introduce new programs. If you dont have a personal website/blog then just use the url link of sites you use.

Be warned some autosurf nowadays are combined with HYIP (High yield interest program).

Yes I tried one and got my money back but its very risky. And I wasnt very lucky with my second investment-so be careful if you want to try them-at your risk.

What is a banner?

In simple terms its a small bar -commonly used by all sites because its more eyecatching.

If you want to create a personal banner --for your site which you can use in forums or banner exchange/traffic exchange then try adesigner.com or mybannermaker.com--yes its free.

Just follow the instruction from the site.

You can also create using paint.net (installed in most PC).

Things you must remember:

1. Common banner is 468pixelx60pixels
2. Make it simple
3. Try different color combination
4. The idea is to attract readers

Do it yourself
1. Click on ruler to cut out your preferred size from the menu of paint.net
2. Choose a background
3. Type in eye catching words
4. Test different colors
5. Once your done crop it.
6. Save it.

How to use banners?
1. After creating a banner -open an account in photobucket.com (photobucket is a free image hosting site)
2. Upload your banner
3. You can edit it in photobucket the size/shades/recrop if you want to do more corrections.
4. You will see that photobucket have codes for html--for website and bbcode for forum.
5. Copy paste codes and make sure you are in edit mode --and use html code/bbcode appropriately.

Hope this helps--I studied this for a month lol -coz i wanted a simple banner -something that fits my preference.

You can also use photoshop and corel if you want to give your banner more effects.
