Surf Overview

What is it?

Surf is Verion’s timed traffic exchange: members view sites for a required duration to earn hit credits, then spend those credits to send visitors to their own sites.

Why use it?

Surf is the timed hit exchange. The Surf timer field defines seconds before a hit credit is granted.

When to use — and when not

• Use when your goal matches this channel’s delivery model.
• Use after websites/profile basics are complete.
• Do not use if the plugin is OFF for your account/network.
