Traffic2Archive is a community-first platform that helps creators share visits and backlinks. Participants earn credits by performing approved interactions (visits, on-site actions) and spend credits to receive visits or backlink placements. The project focuses on simple exchange rules, anti-abuse controls, and transparency to avoid misuse.

Core principles:

• Free & open: No paywalls; source code and rules are public.
• Privacy-first: Minimal tracking by default; optional analytics hooks.
• Fairness: Reputation and rate-limits to prevent abuse.
• Extensible: Modular client and server components for easy integration.

• Credit-based traffic exchange system (earn by visiting, spend to receive).
• Backlink swap support (optional — configurable per site).
• Modular architecture: client widgets, optional server API, and admin dashboard.
• Reputation and anti-abuse rules (rate-limits, heuristics).
• Optional archive routing: send traffic to archived copies when desired.
• Lightweight integration: embed widgets or use the API.

• Independent bloggers and small publishers wanting to grow traffic ethically.
• Developers building integrations or automations for traffic exchange.
• Researchers and communities experimenting with traffic and link distribution models.

1. A visitor opts into the exchange and earns credits by visiting partner pages or performing light interactions.
2. Credits are recorded (locally or via the server) and can be spent to request visits or backlink opportunities.
3. The exchange engine matches requests to available providers (considering reputation, tags, and limits).
4. Optional: matched requests can be routed to archived copies for preservation or testing.

Note: Implementation details (credit rules, matching algorithm, interaction verification) should be documented in the repo's docs/ folder and configured per-deployment.

Use JSON indexes for listing partner sites and metadata. Example partners.json schema (concept):

[
  {
    "id": "site-001",
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "tags": ["tech", "blog"],
    "backlink_allowed": true,
    "daily_quota": 100,
    "description": "Tech blog accepting visits and backlinks"
  }
