Frequently Asked Questions

Advertise Free Online is an online platform for delivering real human visitors to affiliate links placed by Advertise Free Online members and owners.

This is a powerful software solution that enables people like you to get your affiliate links, banners, and text ads seen, and get the chance to earn extra money from home.

Click the 'Surf Now' button in the members area or 'Surfing Area' on the members area menu and then click 'Surf' to start viewing sites from other members.

You will earn credits for every site you view. Your site will receive one hit for each credit that you assign to your site.

A member earns the amount of credits based on his or her membership level. Free members will earn ½ of 1 credit for a view of a single website or a 2 : 1 surf ratio. Upgraded Advertiser accounts earn 1.25 credits for every view of a single website.

Advertise Free Online is free to join and use and always will be. There is one upgraded account level option which is a Lifetime Advertisers Account.

It’s easy and quick to do, simply click the 'Surf' link found inside the Members Area menu and review another member’s site that is displayed until the counter counts down.

When the counter has counted down you will see images, click the one inside the box that matches the one to the left of the box and you will progress to the next member’s site to view in rotation.

This is how you earn Credits. Keep doing this for as long as you can per Surf session to accumulate Credits that will be assigned to your sites.

This will depend on how long you view ads, but you can do this as often as you like for almost as long as you want.

A free member will earn 1/2 credit every 8 seconds. Advertiser Upgraded Account is 1.25 credit every 4 seconds!
