Traffic Exchanges are not new! They are used mostly in affiliate marketing. At Surf For Local Music.com we use it to promote bands. The system acts like a radio station playing tunes only we play the sites that are within the network. Unlike Radio, The more sites you surf the more your own site is exposed to the surfers.
Are you sick of looking for cool new bands on myspace but end up wasting time waiting for their pages to load up?
At Surf for Local Music.com we offer only professional music sites (no social network sites) and we make sure they load in fast and before our surf timer ends. This way you can either check pause the surf timer, open it in a new window or save it to your favorites. Do all of this while earning points for your own professional business site, venue, site or personal blog.
Each month we search out new music sites from the New England area and plug them here for a month. This gives the musicians a free plug, introduces our services to new members and it gives our music industry proffessional members a chance to review new music.
Surfing = Promotion, Prizes and Networking opportunities!
The more you surf, the more ad credits you earn to promote your site, chances to find prizes like a FREE MP3, our sponsor's coupons and freebies other they're offering.
We make it so much fun to surf we'll have to remind you from time to time to take a snack break or better yet go see a live band. When you don't feel like surfing you can buy credits to make sure your site is seen on the network while your away!
Stayed tuned for more pictures of local bands here in New England. At Surf for Local Music it is not just about self promoting "Eccentric Artists". It is about supporting the local music scene. Our mission is provide a simple way to promote your music to New England music fans.
