Autosurf Programs
Audri and Jim Lanford, who run scambusters.org, had a thoughtful comment on 12dailypro and autosurf programs in general.
"Why People AutosurfThe primary reason people autosurf is to earn cash or credits. Some autosurf sites require people to add their own money, which combines some kind of job (watching the ads) with a type of 'investment' or 'membership.'
The second reason people autosurf is to get traffic to their own websites. Some autosurf programs will show your website to other members in direct proportion to how many times you view other websites. For example, you might earn one credit to have your website shown for every two websites you view. Websites that are purely for traffic and require no monetary investment are called 'traffic exchange' programs and are not Ponzi scams." (my emphasis)
What would the point be of driving traffic to your site when you know that it is very likely that the "traffic" is just driving by with their windows blacked out? One word.
