Anyone else unhappy with scam traffic sources?

I will always spend at least 1 hour in search engines seeking reviews for feedback before making an exchange. If I cant find contact details, I do not get involved.

Looks too good to be true....I will let this one pass!

Am very much feb up and can't afford to be scammed one more time. I've been thinking about this joint venture but couldn't find a partner.

I'm very interested. Please get back to me ASAP.

Thx.

I STarted FROM ScRatch and attempted to come up with a better web traffic system that was fair to everyone. What I came up with is a web directory script that traffic "sellers" install on their site. They don't get get paid per click but rather per action.

So the idea is to get the script installed on more and more websites and it gathers traffic from them and aggregates that into a bigger block for sale.

Each site then can sell the entire block of traffic (instead of just their own contribution). They get paid a 50% commission for any advertising sales and since the ads run by the month each month's new ad payment earns a commission.

Then I realized that each customer is also a potential location to install the script. Since the ad sellers were also, therefore, helping recruit new members I made the commissions multi-level so that they earn override commissions on sales their recruits earn.

The script is free, advertising can be free or paid. A new auction system is trying to develop webmaster competition for placement to be the main method for setting prices so it mimics PPC a little bit.

It hasn't generated income yet but could be close to doing that.

Reviews, comments, ideas are all welcome. Add your link for free too and get advertised on all current and future installation sites.

Yes, and those are ? Trusted advertising networks like
AdHitz, AdWords, CPAWay, Yahoo Advertising,for instance ?

I don't know you did this for sake of others or to get referral income.But I see your referral link for Business world list :confused:

They still make big money! People don't know what to do...Just look at how many put are still using Traffic Exchanges to generate traffic to their websites!

^This person attempted to use our service as a vehicle by which to hack into people's computers. After we discovered the Trojan he installed on his target URL after our initial review and approval of his campaign, we cancelled his order. He demanded a refund; when we refused, he escalated the matter with PayPal who investigated his claim and summarily rejected it.

As of this morning, we have processed just over 6,300 orders for website traffic since going live in November of 2010. This person is not only the first to accuse us of being a scam, but his complaint is the only complaint whatsoever to be found about WebsiteTrafficWarehouse.com anywhere on the Internet.


At any rate, the saying "buyer beware" applies, we think, to its greatest extent when making a purchase online. Here are some tips and things to look for when buying website traffic that will help ensure one is going to get what one thinks they are:

1.) Independent, 3rd party identity and/or privacy verification of the business from reputable services such as VeriSign, TRUSTe, Trust-Guard, PayPal verification, etc.: The odds are slim of a scam operation going through any sort of 3rd party verification process. Make sure any such verification seals on a website are clickable: If they are not, they are likely fraudulent (false, unclickable "PayPal Verified" seals are particularly prevalent on the Internet).
2.) A company that is incorporated or DBA: Again, e-scammers do not tend to make such efforts.
3.) A physical address and/or P.O. box correspondence address of the business: Once more, some loser sitting in his basement wringing his hands smiling fiendishly while he watches the money roll-in doesn't want one to know where he is - real businesses don't mind.
4.) A telephone number: And again, one more sign of legitimacy and an indication from the service that they invite open communication.
5.) A reasonable willingness on behalf of the company to disclose their names: Scammers don't make a habit of doing this.

Specific characteristics of the traffic:
1.) Make sure each visitor has all of the following characteristics and that all of these visitor characteristics are clearly listed somewhere on the site:
A.) A unique IP address which does not belong to a proxy provider.
B.) Their own operating system.
C.) Their own screen resolution.
D.) Their own ISP provider.
E.) Their own real, physical location within the geographic parameters of the campaign one chooses.

Additional things one can do:
1.) Make contact PRIOR to buying, even if one doesn't have a question: Measure the business's response time and see how you feel about the manner in which they respond. Go with your gut.
2.) READ THE TERMS: If it is not in there, the business doesn't have to give it unless there is a contradictory statement somewhere else on the site.
3.) Take a screen-shot of the website's Homepage, Terms page, as well as the website's FAQ page prior to making a purchase.
4.) Make MORE contact, and ask the following, specific questions, exactly as they are typed here:
A.) "Do you serve traffic via hidden iFrame calls/1x1 pixel?" - If they answer "yes" only about 5% of the traffic will see one's site.
B.) "Is your traffic software-generated HTTP access requests?" - If they answer "yes" one will not receive human traffic.
C.) "Is your traffic in a rotation, or is the redirect stagnant?" - If they answer the former, whoever lands on your site will be again redirected in 15 - 20 seconds to another site in the ad rotation, even if they wanted to stay on your site. If they answer the latter, once a visitor is redirected to your site, they are not again redirected.

If a traffic service doesn't meet the above legitimacy criteria, and is unable or unwilling to answer the above questions, it is not in one's best interest to buy. It should also be noted that if in any correspondence had with any e-business, something is said to you that clearly, distinctly, and undeniably contradicts either something said on the website, or in that website's TOS, whatever was said in correspondence legally trumps any TOS or claims made on the website. In short, it pays to chat them up. By default, the contract laws that govern the transaction are the contract laws of the country/state in which the business is located. However, any e-business that does not disclose its refund policies or the specific nature of its guarantee(s) in its TOS, must provide no-questions-asked refunds. One might, however, have to get an attorney to get any money back; but one can also sue for attorney's fees.

Also, the most sure-fire way to know if the testimonials on a traffic service site are bogus (i.e. paid for or made up) is if there are gobs of them. Although it certainly does happen, it is simply not in human nature for people to regularly go out of their way via uncompensated written testimonial to let other people know when they've been pleased with a product or service.


Best of luck to you all, and I hope this helps,

Hey team members,

Is anyone familiar with 'Done For You Traffic?' The navigation is tricky. When navigating from one tab to the next, after joining, an Upgrade link appears and if you don't accept you can't finish setting up the website traffic system. Can anyone shine some light on this traffic system for me please? I'd appreciate it. Because of this, I am about to get my money back. BTW... the OTO is high and this system tries to force you to upgrade. If you don't you won't be able to get to the next step. This is not mentioned in the sales page video presentation. What's up with this? Scam?

I think WebTrafficMarketing.com is not scam but a quality service. I think one reason why some people do not have success is because they had poor ad copy or are trying to market products nobody has any interest in purchasing. The same apply with Google Adwords or in any marketing services.

If you have a quality product to market and plan on designing an ad copy to complement your product you will see results instantly in WebTrafficMarketing.com. But, if you plan on typing a couple of lame sentences with a link to your site you will get no results. As a current member of WebTrafficMarketing bulk email service I can tell you there are a lot of members doing the couple of lame sentences marketing plan and I bet the majority of them think they are using a service that doesn't work. WebTrafficMarketing bulk email service works! Just not for everybody because they don't know how to use a bulk email marketing service properly.

I've tried various paid traffic sources in the past. I haven't had success with any of them. I won't go so far as to say they're scams...but I choose not to use them anymore.

Hello,

Yes you are right i agree that Alexa rank is great for the traffic..

Thank you for this thread.
It seems likely that most newbs are easily being scammed with these pay per traffic promises

Why would you bother investing money into these dodgy traffic sites.

Haven't you heard of Google adwords

how about Bing

what about POF

or that other traffic source, umm umm Facebook yeah that's it

Ok, maybe I'm being a bit facetious

but point made

Go with reputable traffic sources

Your odds would have been better playing BlackJack at the casino
