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?

scammers don't give away awesome phone chargers...

I don't get one of them, but anyway it will not compesate the lost :)

Anyone more with some informations?

Hey, we are not ripping off people, not our style of business. But if something went wrong with your campaigns we will find out. Hit me up on icq with your account name.

Lisa I will contact you later (don't have ICQ here now) to see what's wrong there.

If google Analytics is your tracker, enjoy tracking 40%

Oh, and Traffic Shop is the best broker out there right now with two very close seconds

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

They have always treated me right and seem liek one of the more ethical brokers.

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.

@Best-In-BC
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.

Traffic shop is good broker!

@30SalesPlus
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.

@KlenTelaris
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.

i lik mega-pooers...

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.

Traffic Shop is good people!

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.

You're so hot, you could scam me anytime. :thumbsup

me too :( she's a great dancer! i think anyway, mostly i was all :pimp

Haha, right? :1orglaugh

Never had that problem... Maybe your tracker sucks..

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

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.

The most reliable "counters" are sever logs. Stop bitching around...

Holy shit, right?

I second that. It's the main traffic broker we use; been using them for years.

Heyyyyyyyy i wanted to say that.But if people leave trafficshop due this thread,better for me as then it will be less bidding competition.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

:repuke:throwup :thumbsup

TrafficShop is a good honest company.

How people make skimming traffic work for example to dating sites ? Via lander ? That still wasn't worked for me

Well there used to be some guy which was bragging how he spent 25k$ on trafficshop by sending traffic to it's own site so maybe that is a trick,to have your own dating site where you have full control over content and landing page.

Many of our dating site customers send traffic to a special landing page, built for skimmed traffic. It's all about meeting the visitors' expectations, and giving them what they would anticipate seeing. You need to lead them to action...

Yes i saw nice example where pornhub made a landing page for such traffic,and it called it "curated pick of videos"

Back to the more important topic: Alisya is pretty hot.

Hey, guys, thank you for your feedback! As i mentioned we are glad to look into each single case as long as there is enough information coming from the buyer (server logs included)

Richard, EdgeProd, let's rock it once again very soon! Amsterdam and then Vegas :)

Traffic shop actually sent me personal email to let me know my affiliate links were wrong on a few sites even though it had no effect on them so want a reference. I call them honest.

You know it. Chris is buying! :1orglaugh

update:
We take the time do deeper look whats going on here. We extracted stats from Proxy server Logs.
The good news is we found some more hits (not the one we ordered), we're at around 75% regarding their Stats.
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.

I think when it comes to specific carrier traffic,there is simply toosmall volume avalaible.

@KlenTelaris
But this should be not a reason to sell non Carrier Traffic for Premium prices. And if someone pay CPM of $5 - $50 he should get what he want.
