    Is TrafficShop scam?

    We have created a test campaign on Trafficshop filtered by Country, Mobile and Carrier they show us 400+ delivered and charged Hits our tracking tool list 32 hits.

    We buy from near all advertising companies but nowhere I see a difference of 90%+ all others are 0-3% (except Traffic holder who is around 10%).

    As Trafficshop is here actively promoted, is this a known scam of them or do they have some technical Issues?

                All adult traffic brokers are a scam in some way shape or form, get used to it.

                    I used trafficshop for years they're ok. I've tried a $50 buy last week after long time and it resulted in 1 pay user from sweden, so fair enough.

                      No we don't use Google Analytics for this, we use a custom tracker that should work in near every case as long JavaScript or Images are loaded but this is today meet by 99% of mobile users.

                      BTW your opinion for Trafficshop would be for me more trustful if you don't have a Banner of them in your signature :-)

                        If you are relying on javascript with mobile tracking that would be your problem. I've used Trafficshop over the years and never a issue. Chris and Lisa have also always bee helpful when needed.

                            Well when it come to traffic brokers,you need to forget about getting clicks which will match with your tracker,it will never match even if you send traffic back to them lol.
                            What you need to calculate is ration between invested and returned,so if you get your money back,if not then just ditch them and move to next broker.

                                As I written JavaScript or Images means if no JavaScript is active on the mobile device the img tracker takes. Or do you will explain me that Trafficshop is specialized for Mobile users that block JavaScript and dont load Images? :-) And we talk about a country with mostly flat mobile usage.
                                BTW 8 other Advertising companies are 0-3% away from our Stats that seems legit.

                                I hope there is some technical Issue with the campaign.

                                I don't talk about a few % we talk about 90%+ missing landings on our site :-) And with this high traffic lost it's impossible to get profit from it.

                                    A lot of places have trouble tracking redirects. One of the biggest issues with htaccess mobile redirects is that if someone is hotlinking your images, their mobile users will trigger a redirect on your end, resulting in a broken image on that site and a tracked mobile user who never saw anything on yours.

                                        does your tracker work better with other traffic sellers? Are any of them close to 10% too?

                                          I honestly don't know them, I'm just lumping them up with all the people that stole content to get there traffic and now they're selling it back to you. The snake seems to be eating it's own tail.

                                                    I've never had a problem with TrafficShop - they are good people (and this is speaking as one of their competitors).

                                                      We have created a test campaign on Trafficshop filtered by Country, Mobile and Carrier they show us 400+ delivered and charged Hits our tracking tool list 32 hits.

                                                      We buy from near all advertising companies but nowhere I see a difference of 90%+ all others are 0-3% (except Traffic holder who is around 10%).

                                                      As Trafficshop is here actively promoted, is this a known scam of them or do they have some technical Issues?
                                                      I went to war with Trafficshop well over a year ago. After buying tons of skim traffic, I noticed my hit counts were way off. I ran some simple tests, and each test I purchased 1000 hits, and my hit counter would show 800 to 850 hits received. I ran multiple tests, with 2 different hit counters on 2 different pages and got almost the same results. Sometimes I would get close to 900 hits. But still, when you buy large volumes, that shave adds up quick. On very large orders I noticed 700 to 750 hits received per 1000 ordered. And of course, it would always show 1000 hits sent on their page.

                                                      I sent screen shots of all the evidence and I got the same dam reply every time, "Please install your hit counter at the top of the page to make sure it is working properly and counting every hit." Un fucking real. One time they said it was my counter's fault. I even contacted the counter creator from their site (stat counter) and the tech said there was no way their counter would "miss a few hits." It's impossible.

                                                      I ran more tests, put the counter at the top of the food chain, and nothing changed. I gave up. BTW, the landing page was a simple page, small, with small pics, super easy to load for surfers. Stat counter said no way somebody could visit the page and the counter wouldn't count it. Even if the surfer left after a 1/100 of a second.

                                                      Those fuckers at Traffic Shop are 100% skimming traffic orders. As the market declines, all the thieves start to emerge, stealing and shaving anything they can in order to make a profit. I doubt now if any of their traffic is even real. It's probably all bots by now set up in a sophisticated IP network all done with proxy servers. But hard to prove.

                                                      Fuck any broker that sells skim traffic. You don't know what you are getting, even if the IP says "USA" I personally think all the hits are coming from China and sent via proxy so the IPs are changed. You can buy 1000 China hits for about ten cents wholesale, that's where the money is in traffic brokering.

                                                                                              BUT we still got only 10% Traffic that meet our Carrier Filter (this traffic ask for $10+ CPM Popunder).

                                                                                              Now the question is: does Trafficshop send all Country Traffic as they use wonrg Carrier IP Ranges trough a mistake?

                                                                                              If yes, dear Traffic Shop please set correct IP Ranges for Mobile Carriers in Switzerland.

                                                                                              Anyway the first place on my "bad" Traffic List now takes Air Push... we fitlered by Swiss Mobile Carrier 3G/4G but 80% of Requests have IP's from India (50'000+ clicks by 3 same IP's from India, all with different User Agents) - biggest Shit I ever seen. The Customer Care of Air Push don't answer whats going on there. Probably they are a victim of Android Apps that simulate UID/Location/Network/Carrier.
