You can earn traffic in 2 ways:
1) By using your unique view-for-credits-link; Youīll earn credits everytime you visit another members page, provided waiting long enough, about 10 seconds, which it will take for a new frame to load. 2) You can earn credits from your "Downline". Each time they earn their credits you will automatically earn credits too. This is a comfortable way to create traffic. The more members in your downline the more points you will earn. You will find Referral stats in your member admin area.

2. How to view for credits?

Signup, activate account and login. You will find your surf-for-credits-link in the members area. Just click it and your browser will start showing sites and you are earning traffic. You won't have to be logged in to use your surflink.

Link looks like: http://HitShark.com/surf.php?userid=number

3. Login, signup, password, delete account issues

Identity: A user get an id-member number used in the surf-for-credits-link and in the referral-link. Login details consists of your id-number as login name and your randomely created password.
No other details are necessary. Login names and passwords are Case SenSitive. "Greta" is not the same as "GREta".

If you have forgotten your password you can retrieve it by the "Forgotten" link on the login page or main page.

Userid cannot be changed.

Delete Account: Click the [Delete Account] link in 'Click for credits member  area'.

4. Multiple accounts;

A member is NOT allowed to have multiple accounts. Referring yourself is cheating.

5. How do I know my sites get traffic?

If you do not trust the stats shown in your member admin area or want more details you should get some good tracking software. We strongly recommend the AXS tracker. You will be able to log every single hit to your site. Your site must be perl enabled.

6. Why the own tracker logs differs from used credits?

Goes for all Traffic Exchanges.

1) Your site loads too slowly, not within the predetermined allotted time (10 seconds), and the 'next page' is loaded before your site is loaded. Keep your site a quick one to load, please! Many trackers depends upon images, if some user does not have image enabled browser you might have no logs at all from that place.

2) Your tracker software is remotely hosted:
Remotely hosted tracker or counters also must load. The viewer might go to the next page before the remote tracker is loaded. We strongly recommend you to install your own AXS tracker. Your site must be cgi enabled.

3) URL is not entered correctly, misspelled or ending username is missing: Look in your member account area. The url must start with "http://", no breaks, no white spaces, one line only. Remember, our software is calling for your site by the userid. The url itself is your contribution.

4) A visitors Browser settings do and might affect stats.

7. If you do not receive credits?

The following reasons are common:
1) Not waiting long enough. The frame must say reload. Predetermined time is 10 seconds.

2) Account might have been inactivated by admin due to activity violating our terms.

3) Wrong surf-for-credits-link url. Mispelled or missing. Keep your eyes open.

8. Why you never see your own page?

According to our terms, you have to visit 10 website first so that your website will be placed in rotation.

9. What are those things in Stats?
In the surfbar and in member admin area you will find your stats.
First line shows how many sites you have visited.
Second line shows how many hits you got in return . Third line shows how many credits are left on your account.

10. Bonus credits, free credits.
We have a monthly competition for all members where you will win CASH prizes. Do check out our emails for more information.

11. Downline
You will receive some credits for referring new downline. Note that you CANNOT refer yourself. Our staff will manually check and monitor.

12. How can I change my account?
You can change your email address, password and target urls.

13. Changing target site profiles.
Login to your member admin area. Add URL in the textfield and hit the 'Add-button'. When adding URL, status become '0', which means admin must approve your new site. This will normally take 0-2 hours. From member area you can also delete your urls. You can always find your deleted and previously added urls.

14. Test site.
When you add a new site to your 'Website' profile itīs tested and you get a question: - Does your website look fine, without violating our terms of service - and you will have to confirm. If you only see your own page, not inside the supposed frame, itīs a frame breaker not allowed to rotate on HitShark.com. Framebreakers are serious violation of terms. If we find one rotating, your account will be cancelled.

Framebreakers are websites containing code designed to break the page out of any other frame it might occur within. Our surf page, contains of 2 frames, a top frame and a mainframe. The targeted website will show up in the mainframe. If the targeted website is a framebreaker it will take over the whole window screen, hence futher surfing becomes impossible. Framebreaking code is usually javascript code.

URL-Rotators: We do not allow any url-rotators in our AUTO surfing system. One reason is those pages have shown to contain abusive material to a much larger extent than other pages. It is also very difficult to trace a violator hidden inside a rotator.

Surflinks: We do not allow any surflinks as targeted website. A surflink will show a surfpage from a traffic exchange. Itīs the same problem as with url-rotators. A surflink in the surfpage system will show pages not necessarily in compliance with HitShark terms.
