List Surfing is an excellent advertising platform that I use every virtually everyday. It is a combination of three things:

A traffic exchange
A viral list builder
A social media platform

List Surfing is a manual traffic exchange with a difference

As Internet Marketer my business cannot survive without constant traffic. I need to have my offers in front of an audience all the time 24/7. Traffic exchanges give me the opportunity to promote my affiliate offers.

List Surfing is a manual traffic exchange with a difference. For as long as I remain active, my site is always in rotation.

So just in case you have never used a manual traffic exchange, you would normally need to view another member's site to earn a credit. The more credits you earn, the longer your site can be viewed by other members.

What I really like about List Surfing is the ability that I have to advertise virtually hands free without constant clicking! How is that possible?

To qualify I only have to view 50 member websites every month and read 5 emails and that's it! I am in business. That means my site will stay in rotation for the remainder of the month! How cool is that?

It really doesn't take that long at all to stay active...approximately 30 minutes of my time.

I also like the thumbnail surfing feature. When you view a site, you will notice that on your left hand side another two websites pop up. You simply click on the site you want to view next. I like it because it gives me a measure of control over the sites that I choose to view. This feature is not available with all traffic exchanges.

You will be able to determine when you need to surf again by visiting your home page.

Looking at my home page, I can see right at the top, smack bang in the centre of the page that I am active till January 23 2018. So on January 24, I will need to surf 50 pages to keep my site active for a full month.

ListSurfing is also a viral list builder

Email marketing is an incredible, powerful method of advertising.

For whatever reason, I find that I am more successful when I promote offers through email marketing.

List Surfing allows me to promote my offers through its viral list builder. In order words, there are some members who are happy to receive my emails and in turn will send me emails with their own promotions. Not all members choose to use this feature.

Over the last 2 years I have done a lot of surfing at List Surfing. In addition, I have viewed a lot of member emails. This has allowed me to build a healthy credit bank. As a result, I send out emails (when possible) every day to other members.

ListSurfing also integrates social media

I like the fact that I can visit a member's profile and check what they promoting.

It is also great that I can leave a comment in a member's profile. It allows me to brand yourself and get known by other members.

Because this site is so unique I really dislike the fact I can only have 1 site in rotation! However, if I upgrade my membership it is possible to have more sites in rotation.

Does List Surfing convert?

The fact is this: it really depends on what you choose to promote.

I do get sign ups to other programs from List Surfing. So this is a platform that I absolutely recommend.

How do I know that I get signups from List Surfing? By tracking my ads! I suggest you do the same.

I just this program for over a year now and I must say I like the mix with the surfing and also get points so I can send emails while I am surfing. The support is great and the creator have many programs and you can link them to get faster signups.

You get paid by recommending people who sign up and you also can compete and win extra credits every day.

What I Like

I like the easy sign up and get started. The support is great. The many different ways to win extra credits and rewards. It is free you do not need to upgrade and if you surf there is no need to read email.

What I Dislike

They don't take the website broken strict so there is a few broken websites when you surf.

Its hard to get new affiliates since the program is old.

Final Verdict

I would recommend this to anyone why want to get started with an easy program. I use it for make money with ads as well for every view I get paid they allow that.

I think List Surfing is a very good site. I get traffic all month if I surf only 50 sites monthly. I also send email ads with CTR 4-5 %.

What I Like

Surf only 50 sites a month to get traffic all the month. I like it very much.

What I Dislike

I hope there will be more members to view my ads...

Final Verdict

It is worth to join List Surfing to get leads and signups to your affiliate links.

My experience with the program so far

I joined List Surfing way back in 2015. It was quite the trendsetter at the time and championed a new type of Traffic Exchange.

The concept is simple - as long as you are active, your sites will remain in rotation on the website. To remain active you need to surf 50 sites per month. Your surfing activity earns you credits which can be applied to mailing, banner or text credits. As a pro member, I can mail every 24 hours (I think this applies to free members as well although they can only mail according to the credits that they earn). The site has changed owners since its inception and is now run by Darren Olander who runs quite a few reputable mailers including Adchiever, List Jumper and Viral Nugget Darren is extremely vigilant in the care of his sites and ensures that mailing credits are only spent on active members.

What I Like

List Surfing has remained one of my premium traffic sites for two reasons.

  1. It delivers a lot of traffic through its various advertising mediums.
  2. In my experience, its response rate is way higher than the industry average for either traffic exchanges or list mailers.

Membership levels have remained static over the past five years and I am pretty sure that is because Darren only advertises active members as members. This means that the visitors you get are real people and are actively involved in the industry.

What I Dislike

List Surfing probably suffers a little because it doesn't really show new members how to make the most of its somewhat unique characteristics. I think a simple instruction book could do wonders in getting new people on board. As with all of Darren's sites he tends to put a high value on the services he offers. That isn't necessarily a bad thing but it makes you think twice before paying for the service, For what it's worth, I pay an annual subscription. It pas for itself as long as I use it.

Final Verdict

I would recommend List Surfing to people serious about their marketing. This is a serious advertising site dedicated to supporting people who want to build a business. If that sounds like you, then it may well suit your needs

My experience with the program so far

List Surfing is a traffic exchange, list builder and a social media platform owned by Darren Olander.

This is another tool that my mentor has been using and he is getting great results so I joined.

Its the best worlds of viral list builders, safe lists and traffic exchanges under one roof.

They have 5 membership types starting with a free account which you get unlimited rotation of one site (your account must stay active) surf and earn 7 mailing credits for each page you surf, earn credits down 3 levels for referral surfing activity (5%-3%-2%), earn 10% commissions on every direct referral upgrade and you can earn between 6 and 10 mailing credits per email read.

The next membership is their Pro Monthly for $9.97 which you get unlimited rotation of three sites (your account must stay active) surf and earn 10 mailing credits for each page you surf, earn credits down 5 levels for referral surfing activity (10%-5%-3%-2%-1%), earn 50% commissions on every direct referral upgrade and they give you 15,000 mailing credits each month and they give away random referrals to upgrade members.

The next membership is their Pro Annual for $95.67 which you get unlimited rotation of three sites (your account must stay active) surf and earn 10 mailing credits for each page you surf, earn credits down 5 levels for referral surfing activity (10%-5%-3%-2%-1%), earn 50% commissions on every direct referral upgrade and they give you 180K mailing credits immediately upon purchase and they give away random referrals to upgraded members and you save 20% from Pro monthly.

The next membership is their Ultimate Wave Monthly for $24.97 which you get unlimited rotation of five sites (your account must stay active) surf and earn 13 mailing credits for each page you surf, earn credits down 6 levels for referral surfing activity (15%-10%-5%-3%-2%-1%), earn 50% commissions on every direct referral upgrade and they give you 37K mailing credits per month and they give away random referrals to upgraded members, earn between 10 and 20 mailing credits for each email read.

The last membership is their Ultimate Wave Annual for $194.76 which you get unlimited rotation of five sites (your account must stay active) surf and earn 13 mailing credits for each page you surf, earn credits down 6 levels for referral surfing activity (15%-10%-5%-3%-2%-1%), earn 50% commissions on every direct referral upgrade and they give you 450K immediately on purchase and they give away random referrals to upgraded members, earn between 10 and 20 mailing credits for each email read and save 35% from the Ultimate Wave monthly price.

What I Like

I really like the fact that they give referrals to their upgraded members that is leverage which I love there are very few sites that do that for people who take a paid membership. They also offer an a life time option to purchase 100K mailing credits each month for $97.00. I also get more clicks etc., on my ads that some of the other platforms that are similar.

What I Dislike

They do have a requirement that you have to stay active and they offer an option you can pay to stay that way if you don't want to any activities like surfing.

Final Verdict

List Surfing is a combination of a viral list builder, safe list, traffic exchange and a social media site which is different that most list mailers so you have different option on how you can use this or you can use all of them which is a unique feature.

As I mentioned earlier I do seem to get more clicks on this site which I am not sure if they get more people or its something they do that exposes your ads to more people to help you get more sales.

My experience with the program so far

A few monthes ago, I decided to sign up for ListSurfing, a platform that allows you to browse and earn postal credits for each page navigated. The credits are then used to send your email ad to members. In fact, the good thing about ListSurfing is that it has an integrated viral mailing where you can set how many emails to receive. Then, reading the emails generates impressions for text links and banners.

All these things can be done with the free membership, and then there's the possibility to upgrade.

What I Like

What I immediately liked was the simplicity of the program in setting things up. You fill in the fields that interest you, and the system does everything by itself.

Additionally, right after the free registration, you can rotate your site 24/7 by browsing members' sites and reading emails. This way, your account remains active.

If you upgrade, you can rotate more than one site and there are various levels of membership upgrades.

What I Dislike

What I don't like is that I can't upload the profile picture directly from my computer. You have to sign up, even if for free, to another program to upload the photo.

Final Verdict

In summary, what I can say is that ListSurfing, due to its simplicity of use, is a good program especially for affiliates who are just starting out. And above all, you can rely on a good and fast support.
