Hello Lamar,

The Free Traffic Bar is, and always will be, free.  In the next phase I will offer a paid membership that will offer additional benefits, but the free version will stay free.  People can purchase additional ad credits as well.  This is because it will have a greater reach as an advertising system if it has more users and it will have more users by being free.

The beta test is to work the bugs out of the system.  The system will continually take new users, but beta testers receive additional free credits for helping me test it.  I expect to close the beta test and launch fully on Sept 15.  The service will never close during this period, just that new signups only get the 500 bonus credits and not the additional beta test credits.

There are no "points."  People earn advertising credits as they browse and they use these credits to show their ad on other members toolbars.  The cost to show 1 ad is 1 credit.  People earn additional credits when they invite others and build a "downline" up to 10 levels deep.
