Traffic Swirl - trafficswirl.com

I was wondering what people think of Traffic Swirl.

 

I've had an experience this week unlike any I've ever had before, and it might get me kicked out of Traffic Swirl, which would suck because I think the site has amazing potential and has gotten me some results over the past few days that are unlike any I've ever had or heard of before, yet that being said, some of the membership and managment of the site seem bent on limiting and even destoying the usefulness  of what is the most poweful feature of the site and most powerful system I've ever seen in the world of traffic.

 

The idea of earning tokens from other members, by performing various tasks for them (such as viewing an ad, selling some of your extras for tokens, and even signing up to their program) so you can then turn around and pay your earned tokens to others in exchange for them perfoming tasks for you (such as signing up to your program, viewing your site, liking your page, commenting on a blog, signing up for your list)

 

It is a brilliant idea and works amazing!! I had over 40 signups this week to various programs and actually earned money and met a lot of really great people.

 

BUT THERE IS ONE FATAL FLAW!

 

The management themself doesn't seem to see how great this is and everything I I seem to be having to FIGHT TO USE THE SITE.

 

Its crazy. I spoke about my tasks in the chat and basically got flogged by a few members. I tried to promote my task in the token ad section then, which I was willing to pay to promote the task, and to promote my task in the traffic exchagne and suddenly my own ad within the site is banned from there too. Its just nuts. I am willing to DO tasks too, even willing to do paid upgrades, but i've done all I can do and there is none left for me to do to earn tokens, because hardly anyone in the membership is using this powerful aspect of the site and offering tasks.It's crazy but I'm beginning to understand why. The task feature is actually frowned on. Imagine creating a dynamic amazing way to not only drive traffic for the membership but actually get signups for the membership, and then frowning on that element of your own site. My site promoting my task got banned off the TE part of the site and I even got blocked from posting a link on my own profile!

 

And you can't edit your own ad or take it down. Up to a few days ago after begging we COULND'T EVEN SEE WHAT YOUR AD WAS. Once it was posted you know its a task offering tokens to do something, and if someone did the task we had 72hour to approve it, but you couldn't even see what it was! I approved a couple blindly only to discover later that they hadn't actually done what the task required (one didn't sign up to my site at all and claimed 1100 tokens, the other signed up to my offer as a silver but my terms was to sign up as Gold and I paid her 15,000 tokens). At least now you can see what the offer is once its posted.

 

My emails aren't getting answered either now and I've asked to cancel a bunch of my tasks that aren't selling so i could get my tokens back and use them elsewhere on the site, I spent $200 buying those tokens, and its been days and i can't cancle the task myself and i'm not getting any help. Its crazy.

 

So I hope i dont' get kicked of Traffc Swirl but if I do its not good to me anyway the way it is. Hopefully other site owners or someone with programming access will take note of this idea and run with it because nobody else is doing this token system and it could be brilliant if it was run properly.

 

Darren, looking for a new project perhaps? hint hint lol. This could actually fit in really great with Marketing Checkpoint and make it amazing!! Just throwing it out there. If I had the money and network i would for sure do a token exchange site myself....

 

So sorry JB if this offends you or anyone else involved with Traffic Swirl. Honestly I don't mean to I think you're brilliant John and I am an upgraded member at several of your sites. I'm hoping this will see change happen at Traffic Swirl so that tasks are applauded and supported and promoted and a very important part of the site, not buried away and people dissuaded from using it.

 

Anyway that was really long sorry folks.

God bless. Prosperity and health. Love.

That sucks you are having problems with that part of Traffic Swirl. I'm sure John appreciates any feedback as he tries to improve his sites for his members.

Are you familiar with my site BuildMyDownlines.com?  It sounds to me like it is doing almost the same thing, except BuildMyDownlines focuses purely on rewarding people to join you in specific programs (not different tasks). 

Take a look and let me know.

 

Thanks.

I found this thread interesting because I had not even looked at the Tasks section on Traffic Swirl before - I can see how useful that section could be...... Sorry i cannot help with your problem Karri.

@ Darren i will check that our right away awesome. And you're right my hope in writing this was that John would see that my intention was not nasty I just felt it very necessary to write and am hoping that it will help. @ Celia that proves my point exactly thank you I appreciate that very much.

 

I wrote a pm to John to give him the head's up that I wrote this I really didn't want to offend him. John Bell has some brilliant sites and is usually so fast to respond which is exactly one of the reasons i was so distraught about this because he didn't seem to get it. There is actually a guy on the chat there that goes by Cyborg and was being really rude to me on the chat for just talking about the chat feature and acussing me of spam and everything and then he blocked so i couldnt see his messages and when i posted something he would slam me but i couldn't see it and other people were defending me and pming me and i didn't even know it was happening and then some people said that Cyborg is John. I asked him but he didn't answer my question so i didn't know if this was John doing this and then my linking was blocked, so that is also why i was so distraught about all this and actually thought i might get kicked right off Traffic Swirl, cause if Cyborg is John Cyborg really doesnt like me for some reason just because i mentioned tasks a few times, not even a link just talking about the feature and bragging on it and trying to get people using it.

 

But good news is that my tokens were credited back to my account so I can go post some more new tasks. Hopefully soon we'll actually be able to Edit them or delete them ourselves if they aren't selling and stuff.

 

Thanks all. God bless. Prosperity. Health. And of course love

@Darren, fyi I'm getting a snytax error on the top of the Offers Page at Build My Downline...

 

If you log out and back in, is the error gone? 

I think it might show to people who just registered but haven't logged in manually yet.
