I 'surf CV' only to KEEP upgraded @ silver @ least as I LUV the SplashPage maker...
Getting Gold was more like an accident (sort of).
I ONLY use the (IMHO useless) CV Credits to feed the Harvest Traffic Coop by K.S Marketing (Klara Schmidtz) with her brilliant TE Hungry For Hits to turn the Trash Traffic into Diamonds with next to zero double Views on any Link.
Rest assured I detect TRASH as I have a Tracker on next to any URL I promote!
