What is a traffic exchange?

Traffic exchanges (aka TE's) are online services where members of the site can view each other's advertisements. More commonly - "You view my ad, and I'll view yours". Hence the name "traffic exchange". Members exchange ad views with other members. TE's are actually a very inexpensive form of advertising and can yield huge results when used properly.

How Do I Receive Hits?

Click 'View Ads' - 'View Full Page Ads' on the navigation menu. This will open the surfbar, where you will view other members' ads. You will earn ad views or partial views for every ad you view. You can earn bonus views from games and prize pages. Keep your eyes peeled for the pages in rotation to claim these bonuses.

What is a surf ratio?

A surf ratio in traffic exchanges is the set exchange rate that determines how many ads you must view to earn 1 ad view, which then allows 1 view of your advertisement; a 2:1 ratio means you view 2 ads to get 1 ad view for yours.

How it Works
Earn Ad Views: You visit and view other members' advertisements for a set time (e.g., 15-30 seconds).
Ad View System: Each ad viewed earns you views based on the site's ratio (e.g., 1 ad view for 2 ads viewed).
Promote Your Ads: You then use these ad views to have your own advertisements displayed to other members.

Why it Matters
Fairness: It dictates how much effort (ad views) is needed for results (traffic).
Upgrades: Users often pay for premium memberships to get better, more equal ratios (closer to 1:1) for faster traffic

How do I use the surfbar?

Click "View Ads" - "View Full Page Ads" on the navigation menu. Once the surfbar has loaded, you will see a timer countdown at the top. Wait until the timer has counted down. You will see some images (surf icons) appear. Click the surf icon that matches the one on the left to proceed to the next page.


How can I make money with Hot Flash Hits?

You can earn income from Hot Flash Hits by using your affiliate url and promoting our site. When any of your direct referrals make an advertising or membership purchase, you will earn a commission.

How do payout requests work?

To keep payouts fair and consistent for everyone, here’s how requests work: Affiliate commissions will be paid upon request. Minimum payout is $25.

Please wait until your last payout has been processed before sending in another request. If multiple requests come in, they will be deleted, and your commissions will be returned to your account.

Note: Hot Flash Hits uses third-party payment processors. If you do not have an account that receives payments from us, then you may use the commission amount for on-site purchases.

Fraud Prevention

Each member must use a valid email address, which will be verified. To receive commission payments from Hot Flash Hits, members must use their real/legal name. Your Payment Processor name and your registered name at Hot Flash Hits must match to receive payments. At any time, we may ask for proof of ID to verify your legal identity.

Refund Policy

Hot Flash Hits provides a digital advertising product and service. Due to the nature of the product and service, I have a 7-day, no-questions-asked refund policy. All refund requests made more than 7 days after the purchase will not be honored. All refunds issued will be prorated based on the remaining unused portion of the purchase. Hot Flash Hits does not guarantee results from using our product, as this is solely the responsibility of the user.

Hot Flash Hits is in no way associated with any payment processor and merely uses them to process payments for commissions earned from advertising and membership purchases.

Furthermore, Hot Flash Hits will not be held responsible or liable for any problems, damages, or losses that may occur with regard to a member's direct association with any payment processor and any other aspects of their account. If any member cancels their Hot Flash Hits account, that member will be responsible for cancelling any subscriptions they may have with Hot Flash Hits through the payment processor source. Members MUST go to the payment processor and cancel the subscription; otherwise, the monthly fees will continue. YOUR Payment Processor account is YOUR responsibility!
