Most importantly, we’re able to stand behind our traffic because we work closely with each traffic provider, many of them have been with us for 5 or 6 years, and we are constantly monitoring to make sure the traffic quality for any of our publishers remains as high as possible.
We do charge a bit more, but if you average out the good and the bad providers on Udimi, it actually comes out far less expensive in the end. As with anything on the internet, be careful, even the sellers with with seemingly great reviews might not be selling real traffic.
The Downfall of Solo Ad Sellers?
Greed can take over anyone who sells anything, but skeptical markets are more likely than others. This is because murky markets are easier to rip off. As our founder has often been quoted, “this industry is where the uneducated meet the unethical, and sometimes it’s the same person.” So, you really do have to be careful or you’ll get ripped off without realizing it.
Something else we’ve witnessed is that solo ad sellers go bad often. Even the good ones. This is why you have to stay on top of your tracking. At T4Me, we do sometimes see this happen even with our most trusted publishers. When this happens, we immediately do what’s needed to make it right with the customer AND we have a 3-strike system with our publishers where they are warned, suspended, and eventually kicked off our service if violations continue.
This can happen by sheer neglect or it can happen because of greed. The temptation to send bot clicks (fake traffic) is always there. It may start as a tiny percentage, but every fake lead you get is more profitable for the seller.
What begins as temptation becomes the sending of 50% or more fake leads so the seller can offer a “guaranteed” optin rate. (Yes, beware opt-in rates that are TOO HIGH, this is actually a red flag towards bots.)
Due to the nature of any email list/offer/market, it’s nearly impossible to make a promise of any kind of result. Even if your freebie is perfect for a list, nobody can realistically predict the behavior of people.
People surprise us more often than not…
We’ve seen some awful stuff from solo ad sellers. Circles of reviewers that give each other the ability to keep on selling bot traffic to unsuspecting customers like you. Scammers sell clicks, never deliver, disappear, then return as someone else and do it again. Hundreds of clicks delivered with zero optins (probably bots that didn’t follow directions) and so much more.
The risk is really high if you buy solo ads from a normal solo ad seller.
At TrafficForMe, we cost a little extra because we take that risk and make it minimal. If there ever is an issue, we make it right.
