Thanks! But I’m confused about the comment link – I do have some characters on the page that are in another language occasionally, but not as the default, and certainly not in Russian. Do you have a screenshot, because in my browser it says “Comments” in English. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong spot?

Good eye though… so thanks again. And nice to see you here!

I really like the new look. It’s very clean and easy to the eye – especially when you read with tired eyes and well past midnight

When you’ve got a bit of time you may wish to translate to English the “Comments” link on the lower right corner of the main page. So far it’s in Russian, but not so many know it well enough

For those of you still researching morethantraffic.com, here’s another link to someone who has done more investigation than I have by actually signing up:

http://www.freedailycash.com/newsletter.html

I’ve been in the Internet advertising business since 2000 and I have many satisfied customers who buy from me on a regular basis (Tinu being one and Graham Hamer another).

I can understand you being disappointed that the advertising you bought from me did not produce, but to call my service a scam is hitting below the belt. It’s also untrue. I don’t recall you ever emailing me or requesting a refund, which you could have done.

I’ve found that you’ll get alot farther in this business by doing a little introspection when your website doesn’t produce the results you hoped for instead of blaming everyone else.

Best of luck in your future Internet endeavors.

Thanks for coming by. This isn’t actually the place for that comment, we have an open thread for that here:

http://www.freetraffictip.com/what-was-the-question.php

If you had a comment about the topic of the post and then had a follow-up question that would be different, but to the outside eye it looks like you’re just here to promote your site, or promote some grudge you have against Jim.

Normally I would delete comments that are off topic, or edit out the links. But I thank you for being here anyway, and I will answer the unasked question, for other people who may read this thread of comments.

As to Jim Calkin’s Traffic Wholesalers, I’ve never found that to be true. I had an inquiry page where I tested first his traffic exchange traffic. I got plenty of sign-ups from real people which led to sales. I know this because I carefully tracked it.

I also tested his expired domain traffic. It wasn’t as good, but I still got inquiries from it. I always make a special page that I use to test a new traffic source.

If you thought his traffic was a scam, you should have really taken it up with him. He is a person with flaw like anyone else, and would acknowledge that. If you just approached him with respect and told him you were not satisfied with the traffic, he’d give you your money back.

We’re not friends, but I’ve done business with him under many circumstances, and he’s always been fair and reasonable. There are certain things people do online that show character, and that’s one of the ways I judge people.

One – paying your affiliates in a timely fashion. Whenever I was an affiliate of his, I got my money on time. Two- repsonding to questions and/or complaints within the promised timeframe, when approached with respect to their methods.

If ever I had a question, he answered me promptly. Three, not always wanting something for nothing. Though I offered to give him one of my books in gratitude for something he once did for me, he wanted to pay for it instead. It was $47, not some huge fortune.

When people are unethical in one area, they are unethical in every area. I’m not calling you a liar, I just think you’re mistaken. Technically, Jim and I are competitors, since I teach people methods so they don’t *have* to buy traffic. So I don’t really have much to gain from taking the time to tell you this but the continued status of my rep for being fair, honest, etc.

That said, not all traffic is the same to be used for all purposes. Of the few (VERY few) places wher e you can purchase traffic legitimately outside of search engines, the kind you would get from an expired domain or traffic exchange co-op are NOT for getting sales. Unless your offer is truly irresistable and has a person with a good, established reputation behind it that is a internet marketers will recognize, the Only page you should put in one of those sites is a landing page with a subscribe box – and a very, very specific kind at that.

For example, if the link in your signature is the one you were promoting, first, I’ll tell you that it’s all wrong for purchasing traffic. Because any site that is about helping people make money, especially with claims of “fast cash”, you have to first, establish an air-tight reputation, and second, once you have that behind you, you will have to buy your traffic from places like Google or Yahoo or http://isedn.org/- any place that people could complain to if they were defrauded.

When you’re promising people that they can make money with your product, you have to make a good showing of the fact that you’re spending money to get them to see it. It’s subconscious logic – they’re thinking “if they’re using a cheap traffic method to get me here, then they don’t have money. And if they don’t have money, they can’t get me any.”

Big trust has to be established before you can get traffic to that kind of site and get any real inquiries or serious traffic. There’s a certain way that kind of deal has to be marketed. You might think of press releases, not just press releases, but those that go out to traditional media. Free teleseminars to explain your business. Build leads first and then convert them instead of sending them to an anonymous page.

Especially where making money is concerned – everyone thinks every site that talks about money making is a scam, particularly if it’s not highly ranked in search engines (which implies a pre-existing trust relationship).

Also, test your traffic no matter where it comes from, with a small amount first. Even Jim has a $5 or $6 test program, and a money back guaratee – one he doesn’t even have control over. If an unsatisfied person complained to PayPal, he’d have to give them their money within a certain amount of money whether he liked it or not. That’s another sign that it’s not a scam. Sites with high levels of dissatisfied or complaining clients get dropped from PayPal.

I hope this helps you or some other person who reads this in some way. And again, if you have a problem with Jim, write to *him*.

Readers take it the wrong way when you make a generalized comment about another person’s product publically without more evidence than “I tried it and it didn’t work”. They tend to think that you’re just trying to get publicity for your site.I tried to ride a bike once and it didn’t work. Does that mean the bike failed? Not necessarily. It may mean I didn’t learn the right way to ride it. If I put up some Google AdWords and got no leads, does that mean it didn’t work? Not necessarily. Maybe my ad sucks.

You need evidence, expertise, or a trust relationship with people to back up a claim like that.

Instead, consider starting a blog and talk very specifically about exactly what methods you used, and why you feel it didn’t work. Invite a traffic specialist to come by the site and tell you why it didn’t work, risking their own money to test it for different results.

Try the same amount of traffic with other methods such as Google Adwords, article marketing, ezine advertising, or even another traffic exchange like TrafficSwarm. Now if *that* doesn’t work either? It’s probably your site or the way your advertising. Just because Jim’s traffic wasn’t a good match doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

If you’re thinking of buying any type of traffic from any company, save your money because it doesn’t work.

I bought Jim Calkin’s traffic service (traffic wholesaler) in 2005 because he claimed that his traffic come from expired domain.

The traffic was a dud, generated by computer (script), just like the other scam companies.

So stop making these scam traffic delivery companies rich.

All of them are fake because they are generated using a script. These traffic are not real human beings.

That is why they can send a million traffic to your website and you’ll not get even one inquiry not to mention a sale.
