A free traffic exchange is a platform where website owners help each other by exchanging visits. FeelingSurf is a traffic exchange that connects website owners who want to promote their sites at no cost.
Here's how it works:
It's a fair exchange - you help others by viewing their sites, and they help you by viewing yours.
You can earn unlimited credits for free by running our viewer app. If you need more credits faster, you can optionally purchase credit packages, but it's not required.
Free members get:
Getting traffic to your website is simple:
You can customize visit duration, enable direct visits (hide referrer), and pause/resume traffic at any time from your dashboard.
There are several ways to earn credits:
Download and run our viewer app to automatically earn credits by viewing other members' sites
Earn 10% (free) or 20% (Premium) of all credits your referrals earn - forever! Passive Credits

Traffic exchanges are useful for various purposes. Here are the most common use cases:
Free members can add up to 2 sites.
Need more? You have two options:
The "Block Domains" feature allows you to prevent certain domains from loading while your site is being visited through the viewer app. This is particularly useful for protecting advertising revenue.
Why use it?
If you monetize your site with ads (like Google AdSense), you should block ad-serving domains to prevent invalid traffic from affecting your ad account.
How to access it:
Pre-configured AdSense protection:
We provide a one-click preset that blocks these common ad domains:
FeelingSurf accepts all types of websites. However, we automatically block certain technical issues to protect our users and maintain platform quality:
These restrictions are purely technical and automated. We don't manually review or censor content - if your site loads properly and doesn't run mining scripts, it's welcome on FeelingSurf!
Traffic starts immediately once you have credits and an active site!
Timeline:
You can monitor incoming traffic in real-time from your dashboard. If you're not receiving traffic, check that:
Yes! You can control the quality of visitors your site receives with traffic quality filters.
These filters help you optimize your traffic by reducing visits from specific types of IP addresses:
How to configure traffic quality filters:
Important notes:
Visit Limits allow you to control how much traffic your site receives over different time periods. This helps you manage your credit spending and distribute traffic evenly.
Three types of limits:
Maximum visits per hour
1-500 visits/hour
Maximum visits per day
1-10K visits/day
Maximum total visits
1-500K total
Visit limits help you control and optimize your traffic distribution:
Set visit limits when adding or editing a site:
What happens when limits are reached:
Visit Distribution controls how quickly visits are delivered to your site over time. This setting is configured in the same Visit Limits section.
Two distribution methods:
Visits are distributed evenly throughout the day, providing steady and consistent traffic flow. This is the default setting.
Visits are delivered as fast as available viewers can provide them, with no artificial pacing or delays.
When to use each method:
Spread visits evenly is best for:
Get visits as quickly as possible is best for:
Active Hours let you schedule when your site receives traffic throughout the day. You can specify time ranges when your site should be active and receiving visits.
How it works:
Use cases:
Set active hours when adding or editing a site:
Actions let you customize how the FeelingSurfViewer interacts with your website during visits. You can configure the viewer to perform specific behaviors like clicking links, scrolling, refreshing, and more.
Available action types:
Automatically click on specific elements (links, buttons) on your page
Click on links found in your RSS feed
Click on links from your XML sitemap
Set custom cookies in the visitor's browser
Refresh/reload the page during the visit
Automatically scroll down the page

Yes! You can control whether your website is allowed to open new windows during visits.
This setting gives you complete control over popup windows and new tabs that might be triggered by JavaScript (window.open()) or links with target="_blank".
How to configure it:
Why use this feature:
If your site opens multiple windows, you can control which window your configured actions (clicks, text input, etc.) are performed in.
This setting is useful when your site opens popup windows and you want to specify where the viewer should perform the actions you've configured.
How to configure it:
Example use case:
If your site opens a popup window after 5 seconds and you want the viewer to click a button in that popup, set this to "Latest opened window". If you want actions to stay on your main page regardless of popups, use "First opened window".
According to Google's AdSense policies, traffic exchange is not permitted. Violating this policy could result in your AdSense account being suspended.
YouTube's Terms of Service explicitly prohibit artificial view inflation through traffic exchange services. Using FeelingSurf for YouTube content could result in:
We strongly advise against adding YouTube links to our platform.
A direct visit is a privacy feature that hides the referrer information from your website analytics.
When enabled, visitors appear to come directly to your site (no referrer) rather than from FeelingSurf. This makes the traffic look more organic in your analytics tools and prevents other platforms from detecting the traffic exchange source.
Visit duration is fully customizable to match your needs.
The available duration range depends on your membership level:
Check the Premium page to see the exact minimum and maximum durations for each membership level. Longer visits cost more credits but provide better engagement.
Visit pricing is simple and proportional to duration:
Base rate: 10 seconds = 1 credit
Examples:
The longer the visit, the more credits it costs. This ensures fair pricing where you only pay for the engagement you need.
No, humans don't actively view your website. The FeelingSurfViewer app browses websites automatically in a hidden window.
