Autosurf Programs: Worth it or Not?

This is quite a debate. Many people use these Autosurf Programs. A simple search on Google will show you just how many there is.

What is an Autosurf Program?
Its where visitors have a website popped up for a small amount of time to gain “points” or something like that. With these points, these people can choose to have their website displayed in this program, so everyone who participates gets website-traffic, and maybe even increase the Alexa Rank.

Why is it worth it?
Well, many people use it because they don’t get much web-traffic to their website so they use it for exposure. If the site has a poor Alexa Rank, some people think that the Alexa Rank is important, so they use it to get better in the rankings.

Why isn’t it worth it?
To most people, autosurf programs is classed as “fake traffic” or “cheating”. If you were to sell your website and you had a backlink from an autosurf program, people are a lot less likely to buy it because it isn’t actually real traffic. Traffic statistics can show this too. Pay-Per-Click programs such as Google Adsense also don’t like it.

So, is it worth using it or not?
In my opinion, I would say it isn’t worth it. Many people detest these, and its not good to keep visitors unhappy. Make all your website’s traffic be completely natural, and you’ll see rewards come in, no matter how small your site is. Don’t cover up your website-traffic problem with an even bigger problem!

Thank you for reading this advice. So, in your opinion, is it worth it?

Stumble it!

    Personally I have tried PPC programs before and they are quite good at getting visitors to return, but adsense like you said doesn’t like it and I had an email from them warning me to stop.
    Since then I have decided to stop.
    By the way great start to the blog, I have been reading every article so far!
