What are minutes?
Let's say you have 1,000 minutes in your account. Minutes are normally earned by watching other members' websites through the automatic Traffic Exchange system. Read more about it here.The minutes are used to deliver visitors to your websites. When submitting your website into HitLeap, you can choose how long you want the visitors to stay on the website: between 10 and 60 seconds.
Let's also assume that you have submitted one website under "My Websites", and the visit duration has been set to 30 seconds, which is 0.5 minutes. This is the amount of minutes that every hit will cost you.
Therefore, 1,000 minutes on your account will give you: 1,000 minutes / 0.5 minutes = 2,000 hits in total. If the visit duration is set to 60 seconds, you would receive: 1,000 minutes / 1 minute = 1,000 hits in total.
How do I earn minutes?
Earning minutes through the Traffic Exchange
When you visit the "Traffic Exchange" page and click on Start Traffic Exchange, your browser will automatically start showing you websites from other members. Thousands of members are running this automatic system as you are reading this article, viewing each others' websites.If you are a Regular member and keep the Traffic Exchange running for 100 minutes, you will earn back 70% of the time - 70 minutes. The minutes are added to your balance, visible on the "Overview" page.
Whenever you have unused minutes in your balance, they will automatically be used to show your websites (that you have submitted under My Websites) to thousands of other members running the Traffic Exchange.
Your browser might freeze when running the Traffic Exchange. We recommend you to use the special HitLeap Viewer application to avoid that.
