Exposing scam traffic sources
I don't post here much but I am an avid reader and learner. I had recent bad experience/s with a couple of fraudulent traffic sites, and its got me all motivated to expose them and others for the protection of other suckers like me who're busting their all to get ahead on the internet.
I have a website, wealth matrix review dot com. In it I post a lot of reviews of internet wealth creation schemes. I also check with the Better Business Bureau on each of them and make links to any complaints for readers to follow.
The idea is that innocent users who might be thinking of buying any particular internet wealth scheme might think twice if there turns out to be a dozen complaints lodged against the sellers of the scheme. In many cases this is exactly what is out there, you should see the complaints at the BBB for Forex Enterprise for instance.
I'm going to open a new page on Wealth Matrix Review with an index of any and all fraudulent traffic sites I locate myself, and if any of you email me with the names of any sites with problems, or know of clearly fraudulent sites such as the people advertising the entire paypal and ebay client email list, I'll post the site names for people to read and refer to.
I will also investigate them with government reporting agencies such as the BBB.
- It won't be an attack list, just a cautionary list that other users have been less than happy with traffic supplier X.
- Your name etc won't be attached to the listing in any form.
- This is not a cheap trick for me to get traffic to my site, Warrior forum traffic isn't my interest.
- This is a way to provide a little more protection to honest IM's.
- You can post any names here on Warrior Forum, or email me at Wealth Matrix Review at and I'll post them online. (Can someone steer me towards learning how to web 2.0 so everyone can post?)
In the last few days I've learned of free software that clicks over any desired number of clicks on your website, without any traffic being involved. This is designed to boost a sites chances of SEO. I suspect a lot of these fake traffic sites are using the same software but claiming that it is real visitors to your site and charging for it, ie a million visitors in 30 days for just $299, sound familiar?. As my hosting company only registers clicks there's no way I can tell, except the lack of action on the site.
By way of getting the ball rolling here are the names of some companies and my experiences.
By contrast, and I sincerely hope we can help each other, please post here or at my site, the names of any safe lists and traffic sources that you have had good experiences with.
1 - I am very happy with;
business world list dot com
(Members can email a list of about 80,000 each 48 hours). Each time I put an ad in the system I see several hundred visitors show at my site and always between 1 and 5 opt in to the membership list. I have not as yet emailed any of the optins. I am an affiliate but am not using that link here, this is just an honest review)
2 - traffic emporium dot net
I bought traffic from this company, but it is website remnant traffic, and is not targeted at all. I bought about 95,000, might have received some traffic and got no opt ins. This site may not be a fake but did not perform either. Supposedly they sell pop ups, but I used an ad designed for pop ups and received no traffic at all , making me wonder if they even supply what they say they do.
3 blast 4 traffic dot com
This crowd is almost certainly a big fake with numerous complaints around the internet about no traffic and no refunds. Supposedly for a $40 join up/one time fee, one can email over 2 million people each 24 hours, I tried it (before researching them) and my Wealth Matrix Review dot com hosting company detected zero traffic from them, pretty much an impossibility as the same ad on business world list consistently gets optins and traffic from just 80,000. I really made a fuss with paypal and the company and received my $40 back, I was very surprised. They also have the same website operating under numerous other urls. Eg webtrafficmarketing dot com/ and surferschoice dot com and when I started getting no traffic I was referred from one to the other and back again.
4 -blastfortraffic dot info
Remember all those assurances from paypal and ebay that they never divulge your information? What are the chances they gave these people 28 million email addresses?
So, Mr Moderator, if I've transgressed here I apologize, it's not my intention. There is a real problem on the web with scam traffic companies, its one of the newer, bigger internet scams going. If we can do something to warn people I want to help.
Would it be possible to post this letter as a sticky anywhere at the top of Warrior Forum for all to see, not just us CPA folks?
PS, anyone with joint venture ideas using WMR is welcome to email me.
Anyone with other ideas to combat/expose these sites please speak up.
Anyone with sites with real traffic and working safe lists, please help other members and share the good news around.
Thanks to all
