swarm of traffic?? - 3/2/2003 10:29:35   
Hello..........

I wonder if anyone has any experience with " Traffic Swarm" (http://www.trafficswarm.com/). A search engine not PPC.

They are " free" which of course is great. You place a link on your home page, which encourages others to go to their site (basically a search engine)thru yours. However, I learned somewhere that there' s no free lunch, plus who wants to send anyone away from their own web site?..... I never heard of Traffic Swarm. I can' t quite figure out how they make their money, their claims are almost too good, the traffic hits they promise sound like a pyramid scheme.

Maybe it' s " suspicious me" looking at gift horse. If anyone has some experience or recommendation on this I' d sure appreciate it.

Thaks!

I think their claims ARE too good. It IS a pyramid scheme.

Looks to me like you would get loads of bandwidth sapping clicks from people trying to up their ' credits' but with no interest in anything else.

I' d agree! When you go to a mall, do you stop and buy something at every store? Its the same thing, only amplified, on the web. Traffic does not equal sales or success. I am trying to " teach" that to a client right now.

You need to get your site and products in front of people looking for your product set. If you have a pet supply site, what good is having 10,000 non-pet owners visit your site each month?
