Frequently Asked Questions

Nexurf is a traffic exchange platform. Members earn credits by visiting other members' websites, then spend those credits to receive visits to their own sites. It's a fair, reciprocal system: the more you surf, the more traffic your sites receive.

Unlike bots or paid ads, all traffic on Nexurf comes from real human users who are actively surfing the platform.

Yes. You can register for free and immediately start surfing, earning credits, and receiving traffic on up to 3 sites.

Optional paid plans (Silver and Gold) unlock higher site limits, longer visit durations, and a better credit ratio — meaning your credits go further.

Any legitimate website is welcome: blogs, portfolios, online stores, landing pages, and more.

Sites are manually reviewed before going live. We reject sites containing:

• Adult or explicit content
• Malware, phishing, or illegal content
• Excessive pop-ups or automatic redirects that disrupt the surfing experience
• Misleading or deceptive content

When you add a site, you choose how long each visitor must spend on it before the surf counts — from 10 seconds up to a maximum that depends on your plan (300s Free, 480s Silver, 720s Gold).

Longer durations mean each visit costs more credits from your site's balance, but also means visitors spend more time on your page.

You earn credits every time you complete a surf — whether Manual or Auto. The formula is simple:

You can also earn bonus credits through Bonus Pages (Manual Surf only) and weekly leaderboard prizes.

The cost of each visit received by your site is determined by two factors: the visit duration you set for that site, and your account plan's credit ratio.

So if you want to maximise visits per credit, use a shorter duration and upgrade to Gold. If you want visitors to spend more time on your site, set a longer duration — but budget accordingly.

Go to Credits in the menu, choose a site, enter the amount of credits you want to assign, and confirm. Credits are deducted from your account balance and added to the site's traffic budget.

You can also allocate and deallocate credits directly from the My Sites page by clicking the Credits button next to any site — without leaving the page.

If a site runs out of credits, it is automatically paused and removed from the rotation until you add more.

If you delete a site yourself, or if it is removed by an admin, all remaining credits allocated to that site are automatically returned to your account balance.

Yes. You can purchase credit packages directly from the Credits page using PayPal. This is useful if you need more traffic quickly without spending time surfing.

Click Manual Surf in the sidebar. A separate window opens showing the first site. A countdown timer runs — when it reaches zero, click Next Site to earn credits and move on.

The site window stays open the whole time. You must keep it open and click Next Site yourself for each visit to count.

To ensure fairness, the surf timer pauses automatically if you switch to another browser tab or minimise the window. The timer resumes as soon as you return to the surf page.

This guarantees that site owners receive genuine, attentive visits.

Occasionally — roughly 1 in 5 surfs in Manual mode, much less in Auto mode — a simple maths question appears before the next site loads. This confirms you are a real, active user and not an automated script.

Just enter the correct answer and surfing continues immediately. There is no time limit on the CAPTCHA itself.

This means there are currently no active sites in the rotation — either no site has credits remaining, or all active sites belong to you (you cannot surf your own sites). Try again later, or add more credits to your sites so they stay in rotation for others.

Click Auto Surf in the sidebar, then click Start Auto Surf. A separate window opens with the first site. When the timer ends, the same window automatically loads the next site — no clicking needed.

You just leave both windows open and credits accumulate on their own.

Always use the Stop button on the Auto Surf page to end a session cleanly. This stops the timer and closes the surf window automatically.

Some websites attempt to redirect or close the parent window when loaded. If this happens, the Auto Surf page detects it and shows a "Session interrupted" panel with the URL of the problematic site.

From there you can:

• Report the site — flag it as disruptive so the admin can review and potentially remove it
• Restart Auto Surf — resume immediately

Yes. Unlike Manual Surf, the Auto Surf timer keeps running even if you switch to another tab or minimise the browser. The entire point of Auto Surf is to work without your attention.

When adding or editing a site you choose which circuit it joins:

• Manual Surf — visitors actively choose to click Next Site. More engaged, human attention. Eligible for Bonus Pages.
• Auto Surf — visits are automatic with less active human interaction. Real visits from real users, not bots or proxies — but with less intentional engagement.

The credit cost per visit is identical in both circuits. You can change the circuit at any time from the Edit Site page.

Interactive Surf works like Manual Surf, but each site includes a question you must answer before the visit is counted. A site window opens, the timer runs, and when it ends a question appears.

Answer correctly to earn the standard visit credits plus a bonus. Answer incorrectly and you still earn the base credits — you just miss the bonus.

Questions are set by the site owner when they add their site to the Interactive circuit. They are typically simple questions about the site's content — designed to confirm the visitor has actually looked at the page.

Each question has multiple choice answers. There is no time limit to answer.

You earn the base visit credits but miss the bonus for that site. The session continues normally to the next site — there is no penalty beyond losing the bonus credits.

Yes. When adding or editing a site, select Interactive Surf as the traffic circuit and add at least one question with multiple choice answers and a bonus credit amount. The site will require re-approval before going live.

Bonus Pages are surprise reward screens that appear randomly during Manual Surf sessions. When one appears in the site window, you have 10 seconds to click Claim Bonus Credits to earn a random amount between 1 and 30 extra credits.

No. Bonus Pages require active attention — they appear in the site window and must be clicked within 10 seconds. Since Auto Surf runs unattended, Bonus Pages are only available in Manual Surf.

This is one of the advantages of Manual Surf for users who want to maximise their credit earnings per session.

Unfortunately no. Bonus Pages expire after 10 seconds and cannot be recovered. Make sure you keep the surf window visible during Manual Surf sessions to avoid missing them.

Sites are reviewed manually by our team. Approval typically takes a few hours, though it may take up to 24 hours during busy periods. You will see the status change from Pending to Active in your My Sites page once approved.

A site is automatically paused when its credit balance reaches zero. You will receive an email notification when this happens.

To resume, go to Credits, allocate more credits to the site, then click Resume on the My Sites page.

Yes, from the Edit Site page. However, changing the visit duration or the traffic circuit (Manual/Auto) will require the site to go through re-approval before it becomes active again.

During an Auto Surf session, a Report Site button appears while a site is active. Click it, choose a reason, add any optional notes, and submit.

If a site causes your session to be interrupted (e.g. by redirecting the window), a report option is shown automatically on the interruption screen.

Each user can report a given site only once. Reports are reviewed by our admin team.

The credit ratio is the most impactful difference. A Gold member spends 3× fewer credits per visit than a Free member, meaning the same credit balance generates 3× more traffic.

Every week, the top 3 users by number of surfs completed win bonus credits:

• 🥇 1st place: 200 credits
• 🥈 2nd place: 100 credits
• 🥉 3rd place: 50 credits

The leaderboard resets every week. You can track your position and competitors live from the Dashboard.

Nexurf has an inactivity policy to keep the platform healthy. If your account shows no meaningful activity for an extended period, you will receive a warning email encouraging you to return.

If inactivity continues beyond the warning period, your sites are suspended and all allocated credits are returned to your balance. Your account is not deleted — simply log back in and start surfing to reactivate your sites.

Silver and Gold members are never subject to suspension due to inactivity. Log in regularly and surf to keep your account active.

Use the Messages section in your account dashboard to send a message directly to the Nexurf team. We aim to respond within 24 hours.

No. Each person may have only one account. Creating multiple accounts to gain extra credits is a violation of our Terms and Conditions and will result in all accounts being permanently banned.

Nexurf has a system of 35 badges organised across 7 categories: Surf Circuit, Streak Master, Credit Collector, Network Builder, Loyalty, Interactive Master, and Manual Master.

Each badge has 5 levels of increasing difficulty. Completing a milestone automatically awards the badge and a credit reward. You can view your progress on the Achievements page.

Your surf streak counts how many consecutive days you have surfed. Surf at least once every day to keep it going. If you miss a day, your streak resets to zero.

Maintaining a long streak unlocks Streak Master badges and bonus credits at every 30-day milestone.

Each member has a unique referral link available from the Referral page. Share it with anyone — when they register through your link, they become your referral.

• Your referral starts with 150 credits instead of the standard amount
• You earn 200 credits once your referral completes 30 surf sessions
• You earn 10% of all credits your referral earns through surfing, every day, for 90 days

The 200 credit bonus is credited to your account immediately and automatically the moment your referral completes their 30th surf.

The 10% daily earnings are calculated and credited once per day by our automated cron job — typically shortly after midnight server time. You will see them appear in your Credits page the following day.

No — you can refer as many people as you like. However, to prevent abuse, the system limits referrals from the same IP address to one per 30 days, and blocks VPN/proxy registrations.

A Surf Booster multiplies every credit you earn while surfing. Choose between a 2x or 3x multiplier, and a duration of 24 or 72 hours.

While a Booster is active, every surf session earns double or triple the standard credits — making it ideal to activate when you plan an extended surfing session.

No. Only one Booster can be active at a time. If you purchase a new Booster while one is already running, the new one will start only when the current one expires.

Yes. A Booster runs on real time from the moment it is activated — it counts down whether you are surfing or not. Once the 24 or 72 hours are up, it expires regardless of how much you surfed.

Yes. Every visit is made by a real, registered Nexurf member using their own browser. We do not use bots, proxies, or any form of automated traffic. CAPTCHA checks are in place throughout surfing sessions to prevent abuse.

No. The system automatically excludes your own sites from your surfing rotation. You cannot earn credits by visiting your own sites.

Nexurf has multiple layers of anti-cheat protection, including token-based visit validation, server-side timing verification, rate limiting, and CAPTCHA checks. Any attempt to manipulate credits or visits will result in a permanent account ban and forfeiture of all credits.
