Pros and Cons of Manual Surf Exchanges
A manual surf exchange is defined as an exchange where the surfer must manually "turn the page" to the next site to be viewed. That is the short form. The way the surfer does this is by clicking on a symbol or a number, usually after a timer has counted down the minimum time the site is viewed to be counted as a credit. The length of time varies with the exchange and sometimes site to site.
The Pros- a real person must be doing the clicking, so the exchange manager can justify a higher cost to the advertisers, but the quality is high so they are happy with it. Real people = real sales and/or real people signing up.
The Cons- For the surfer it means alot of repetitive movement that can end up in pain or even damage if they go at it for long periods of time without a break. The higher cost to advertise may make others look to other forms of getting traffic.

I've been dreaming about creating an exchange that uses your voice to surf. So it'll be like "What does blue and yellow make?" you say "green" and it goes to the next page. You can click for an hour and have a hurting hand, but TONS of women talk on the phone for HOURS without pain..

Tim, in college the first time around, we were working with a PET computer and got it to respond to a spoken command. Not bad for a bunch of teen aged geeks who had a personal computer with a TAPE drive. WOW, we where going places...
