Okay, so now you're surfing! You're gaining points and building exposure for your site. That's great! But guess what? It's still not enough. There's one more thing you need to do in order to getrepparttar most bang for your click.

Third, you need to build your hits-for-clicks downlines in order to get more points for your clicks. Hits-for-clicks sites thrive on getting more people to sign on. It's how they make their living. One way they do this is through referrals. As an incentive for their current customers to get them more customers, hits-for-clicks sites often give extra points for referrals. "How am I supposed to do that," you ask, "when I'm already clicking my fingers torepparttar 118357 bone?" That's where free rotators come in.

A rotator is a web device that let's you put several URLs in one place. The rotator then takes those URLs and rotates them. In other words, whenrepparttar 118358 user happens upon your rotator address, he or she will see one of several sites you have entered. Let me illustrate. Let's say I have a free web rotator that I signed up for at pageswirl. I log in and I put in several sites: http://gman.167aday.com http://solutions.juvio210.com http://www.juvio210.com http://pageswirl.com/?aff=htack210

Whenrepparttar 118359 user goes to my rotator site, he or she will see one of these sites. They will come up at random and I can weightrepparttar 118360 sites. In other words, I can cause one site to be seen more often thanrepparttar 118361 others.

"Okay. So how does that help me?" you ask. With a free rotator, you can inputrepparttar 118362 referral links for your hits-for-clicks sites along withrepparttar 118363 main site you're using to promote your business. Enterrepparttar 118364 free rotator URL into your hits-for-clicks sites. Make sure that your particular hits-for-clicks allowsrepparttar 118365 use of rotators. Many do. Some do not. And some only accept rotators from certain providers. (For example, Profit Charger Hits only accepts Pageswirl rotators.) Withrepparttar 118366 free rotator installed, you're getting referrals, building your clicks-for-hits downline, gaining more browsing points, and getting more exposure for your site. And what's nice about all of this is that you don't have to pay a dime!

When it comes right down to it,repparttar 118367 sites that advertiserepparttar 118368 most, getrepparttar 118369 most hits and haverepparttar 118370 potential to makerepparttar 118371 most money. And with hits-for-clicks sites even people with little or no advertising budget can getrepparttar 118372 word out. So why are you still here? Get out there and start surfing!
