1. I don't think that most of the TEs users are there spending their time for sheit traffic. Really, I never got any signup to any site advertised on TEs - beside TrafficSwirl which has good quality users. Everyone firstly signs up because they're expecting to make some cash. Take that away and you'll see how many new users will sign up on TE... 2. As said above, take the cash rewards away, and you'll see users activity with arms crossed Why would a standard new member spend his time surfing 100 sites, to win 30-40 credits and 0 cash?
