Traffic Swarm - Am I just imagining it!
Share on: 
fb share twitter share gplus share more share

Is it just me or is Traffic Swarm slow these days?

I have noticed my credits are not getting used so quickly lately and I have also noticed when surfing TS a lot of broken urls, so someones credits are getting used up for nothing.

Anyone else seen these issues?

HI Graham.

I noticed that too. My credits just seem to stay constant - even if I haven't surfed for a few days! I have started using other TE.

Does anybody have any good ones to try?

Cheers

Dave

Hi Graham,
Everything is OK here, for my opinion the credits are going too fast.

I am new but I agree only 10 to 15 credits are used each day at traffic swarm for me.

I clicked on the link that Bill S put up and saw the top 10 list. I also noticed that they have affiliate pay plans in them. I am considering using one or more of them as a free member but would like to give a PIPster the credit for referring me to the sit. Any suggestions or is it anything to worry about?

Thanks

The links for the 10 traffic exchanges already contain Bill's affiliate ID's.

Bill, are you having any success using these traffic exchanges? I don't think I've heard of any of them before, so it would be nice to get a user's experience first. Thanks.

I can't resist - Graham I hope you are in the mood to be razzed by the mod.

"Traffic Swarm - Am I Just Imagining it?"

No Graham you are not imagining them - they really exist. They are my PIPS sponsor as a matter of fact.

Although they have never contacted me in 4 years - they do exist. I know they do. I am sure. yep sure as rain. at least i think so.

hehehehehe

Hi Graham,

I think the credits used depends on how active you are in surfing. I observed that when don't serve for few days very less credits are used.

I've been keeping my Traffic Swarm account hovering around 200 or so credits, but haven't seen much response lately from them. I seem to have found some success getting responses to my PIPS capture page at an exchange called Click Voyager. It has nearly 79,000 members - here is a link if anyone is interested:

I have noticed that Traffic Swarm is pretty inconsistent as to how fast your credits get used. No big deal though, they are still effective at getting more people into my opt in list.

I think you will find if you get your credits between 500 and a 1000 a day Traffic Swarm will consistently use those up. You can either buy credits or spend two hours a day surfing to earn that many on a daily basis. Of course you can also refer new members underneath you and earn credits from them as well.

I also have found that they have been slow recently but maybe thats because I have not been clicking that much recently

Actually, Traffic Swarm is one of the better traffic exchanges around, if you know how to use it.

Kind of ironic as you said the exact same thing about Clickbank in another thread.

I dunno, I think it might just be you. I haven't had a lot of chance to chedck mine the past few days because I'm not at home, but last I checked mine were being used frequently. I'll have to make them up when I get back on my desktop later because I haven't gotten to surf or whatever much.

Hey Graham, Traffic Swarm is having no problem eating up my credits. I have gone through about 1500 in the last four days. Luckily I just have to tell the wife and she will do some surfing for me!! Tim.

I just racked up over 60 credits last night, and they were all used up by this morning. I'd say it's working fine.

mmm..This is certainly very curious...I have 8 ads running .......had a balance of 630 credits on Monday and today my balance is 592.

I'm guessing they are penalizing me for downgrading last month!

That's very odd indeed, Graham. I'm not sure what to say. Perhaps your ads aren't inviting clicks? LOL.

Hi Graham,

Glad you brought this up because my credits have been going down a lot slower this last three or four months I would say. I am a big supporter of TS as I think they are one of the better TE's although I think they rank just outside the top six at present.

I have put this down to the fact that I have been able to increase my TS downline lately and of course the more they surf the more percentage credits I get as well.

thanks for sharing your thoughts,

Mal.

Howdy Pipsters!
I havent been in in a while but I saw this thread and thought I would shed some light on things!

No-one will want to hear this because it means more work but this is what I do for best effect on traffic swarm......

first - I disabled all my links and started clicking everyday - 250 times every day in fact! thats as much as they will let you.

get your credits up to around the 10K mark and then re-enable only 2 links. Keep clicking your 250 everyday!

you will see that on the first day you re-enable your links that you get about 16-1700 hits to both your links!!!!!!!

then as long as you click everyday and dont have heaps of links rotating you will get heaps of hits from TS.

I am now running only 1 link and every day I get at least 1500 hits to that page daily- its a splash page I use for list building - that way I have them to follow up with whenever I want.

I could be more indepth here about TS but that is the basic crux of how I get monster hits from there daily!

I am a big fan of traffic exchanges - I now own one - pm me if you want a great deal on membership or credits or you need help with the TE theory!

The thing is TEs only work if you use them right and that should be for building your list. - People are only required to view your page for around 10-20 seconds - they are not interested in reading something that will take 10 minutes - they are there to surf for credits to get their pages seen - so if you want to snaffle them up - then you need a great and quickly read splash page that brings them to your autoresponder so you can follow up with them later!

Stone has set us all up a great AR series - use it! offer your ezine and a bonus ebook or similar to get people to optin to your list.

Hope this helps anyone who may be wondering about TE's but I say they are very successful when used the right way.

Thanks! I'm kind of new to this whole thing and this is the best explanation I read on traffic exchanges especially Traffic Swarm. I'll be testing this idea out.

Great explanation, Kym. It's always nice to hear about someone's experience and what they're doing to benefit from it. This will help the newbies (and maybe not so newbies) out a lot.
