I'm finding myself absolutely surprised at how brutal the competition in Traffic Syndicate 25 is. And I'm definitely not helping ease the pressure. ;-)
Free members are put in to whats called the "Syndicate Pool". Of that pool, every week, the top 25 are taken and placed in to a Syndicate. At the moment, theres about 49000 people in the pool. Most of whom just haven't even attempted to get any rank at all. So they don't count. But the top 200 or so... Thats where the competition is.
I'm currently ranked 18th in this pool. When I went to go to bed last night, there were people attacking my position. So I didn't go to sleep, I crawled in to bed with the laptop and kept on surfing in an attempt to stop them stealing my rank and dropping me out fo the top 25.
By the time I woke up, after 5 hours of sleep, I'd been dumped to 21st again and I am now struggling to catch up with those that laid seige while I was asleep. So much time and effort. Its insane. But its strangely addictive. Its the competition that gets you doing it more. The actual manual surfing is tedious, but the competition definitely makes up for it ;-)
Actually, this program I don't care about making money or traffic from (there is a 5:1 credit ratio on traffic, which is quite expensive, most common is 2:1) as I'm just enjoying the fight for rank ;-)
For those wondering the ratio... That means 5 credits will get me one hit on my site. Most traffic exchanges offer 2 credits to 1 hit. Some slightly more expensive, a couple are cheaper. However, in many cases, if you pay for a subscription, you'll often get a 1:1 ratio on traffic.
