HitLeap is a traffic exchange service. It hooks up people who want to promote their sites with other people who also want to promote their sites. The idea is a mutual exchange of viewers; you show me yours I’ll show you mine, in a website sense.
As a HitLeap user, you can submit a URL into their network. Then nothing happens, because you don’t have any accrued minutes. In order to earn hits to your website, you need to acquire minutes. In order to acquire minutes, you need to browse through the HitLeap network and click on existing links to other sites. You have to do this through their browser, in order for the clicks to count.
Once you have earned minutes, you can spend them to put your link into the public awareness for a certain number of hits. Once you’ve gained that traffic, you’ve spent your minutes, and you must accrue more in order to earn more traffic.
At the outset, this sounds like a viable means of generating traffic. Indeed, a traffic exchange is a real and useful service, as long as it’s moderated and regulated properly. When it’s not, well, you end up with something like HitLeap.
The Problems with HitLeap
HitLeap has a few problems, and that’s the core of this review. There are problems on both sides of the service.
On the side of earning minutes, you have automated tools designed specifically to work with HitLeap’s browser, such as HitLeap Viewer. This automated tool runs on an idle computer and browses through links in the background, earning you minutes. As a client, this means you’re able to freely rack up minutes you can spend for traffic. A pretty good deal, right?
