Gladiator Hits is a very nice looking traffic exchange that is easy to use and navigate. Once the timer runs down on the surfbar, you just match the image and you are automatically on to the next page. The members area has easy link on the left hand menu bar and it is very easy to add your sites and banners. The gladiator theme is kind of fun and it keeps things interesting.
The only problem that I have with Gladiator Hits is that it has a relatively low 3:1 surf ratio. This is somewhat mitigated by some of the bonuses that they offer. A question page shows up about every 15 pages. They ask a true or false question (they give the answer on the page). When you answer correctly, you earn 3-5 credits. Failure to answer correctly multiple times can lead to account suspension. There are also opportunities to claim free credits that show up underneath the matching images on your surfbar. You click on the message to claim the free credits. Another bonus is that as you surf, the letters on the phrase EntertheColloseum begin to turn red. Once the whole phrase turns red, you earn 100-150 bonus credits. In the end I find that my ratio is actually above a 2:1 ratio.
Overall this is a fun and easy program that is nice to have in the traffic exchange rotation.

At first glance, I was not overly impressed by what Traffic Splash had to offer. My attention was immediately grabbed by the very low 3:1 surf ratio on the site. This is offset by some very good bonuses that they offer. They offer you a series of bonuses that you can earn by surfing each day. The first bonus is that for about every 15 pages that you surf you will go to a bonus page where you win on average 4 credits (there is a link on this page that you have to click to claim the bonus). The second bonus is that if you surf 30 pages you will be entered into a drawing for 100 credits with three daily winners. The third bonus is that if you surf 100 pages, you can claim either 1,000 text ads or 500 banner ads. At 250 pages you can claim 4,000 text ads or 2,000 banners. At 500 pages you can claim 7,000 text ads or 3,500 banner ads. The 100, 250 and 500 bonuses are not cumulative and you can only claim one of these per day. To claim these bonuses, you need to submit a quick help ticket telling them what you want to claim as your prize.
If you are using traffic exchanges, you should be using the banner ads as well. Most sites convert credits to banner ads at about a 15:1 ratio. So by just claiming your bonus after 100 page views, you basically are receiving the equivalent of 33 additional credits (500/15). This brings your exchange ratio up to respectable 3:2 ratio. Surfing to 100 pages and beyond is very easy due to the quick 6 second timer.
You need to remember that the timer is only six seconds when submitting your sites. This exchange is definitely geared towards quick loading splash type pages. If your site does not load quickly, you will be wasting your hits on this site. However, with the quick loading sites you will quickly gain a lot of exposure.
The program site is very easy to navigate and fun to use. You can assign your credits to your sites either manually or automatically which gives you a lot of control. The surfbar is extremely easy to use. All you have to due is match the color of a dolphin icon to the right one on the surfbar and it automatically starts to load the next page. Their support staff has been great and answers any submissions promptly. Overall, I think you should give this one a good look. If you are planning on surfing 100 plus pages on an average day, then it is a must. If you do not surf that many pages on an average day, then it may not be the best fit for you.

Web Master Quest is a great traffic exchange to add to your rotation. The 1:1 exchange ratio is excellent. They let you have an unlimited number of sites and banners for your account. They have a simple but effective surfbar with a 30 second timer. When the timer runs down, you simply click on the matching image and you are off to the next page. They have anti cheat pages that show up occasionally. These are well defined by a stop light image on the left side of the page. When you get one of these pages, simply click on the correct image and you will earn between 2-100 bonus credits. Failure to complete the pages can eventually lead to account suspension.
Another incredible feature of this program is the affiliate exchange program. With this program, you can offer some of your unused credits to other members if they join one of your affiliate programs. This is a great way to get people to join your programs and try them out. You know the exact cost to get this sign up and you can offer whatever amount of credits you want.
This program also offers incredible statistics reporting. They are able to give you the geographical location of your hits received. The number of unique hits you are receiving. They also give you the number of hits by day, screen resolution of viewers and browser used. With your banner impression they are able to give you your click through stats so you know which banners are working for you.
I absolutely love this program. The extra features and report details are incredible. The exchange ratio is amazing. The affiliate exchange program is something that can become an integral part of building your referrals in numerous programs. WebMasterQuest is an essential program for anyone looking to build online income.
