How do autosurfs work?
I have seen all of those ads where the autosurfs claim you get a pretty big interest in just a few days.

Please explain what autosurfs are, and how they work, how legit are they?

my understanding is that they are basically ponzai schemes, those generally work out pretty well if you get in early, is this right?


(mods i think this is the right forum for this, autosurf is a form of marketing right? if not just move to right forum please)

don't know how you mean "work"

basically people go and visit sites that they have no interest in and then get paid peanuts.
dumb and newbie website owners get to pay a lot of money for disinterested people who have no intention of buying anything to spend less than 10 seconds on the page.

The only people it ever makes money for are the ones running the operation, who are scamming both ends of the scheme

And it's "ponzi" scheme BTW.

I think what you mean by autosurf is a kind of get-rich-quick scheme that would promise you lots of income by just leaving your PC open and the program runs everything for you clicking on ADS, banners, etc.

Haven't tried it though, but for sure those kind of schemes are scams of some sort. If those types of schemes do work then we wouldn't be in this forum

Talks_44 it's just a scheme and it works like Chris mentioned. People visit your site only to build up enough credit to have more people visit their site. It's possible some people will actually be interested in your site once they land there, but the vast majority will stay the minimum amount of time they have to.

So what happens at best is you get a lot of sites showing over inflated traffic in their server logs with very little meaningful traffic.

It's not much different than if I built a robot and had it visit your site. If you want I'll guarantee you any number of visits you'd like, but my robot doesn't have a credit card and doesn't even read. It'll just visit, use up your bandwidth, and inflate your stats so it will be harder for you to see what's really going on.

Instead of paying for this, you could just run a load test...

Autosurf programs just waste your bandwidth... and if you're using AdSense, prepare to get banned.
