Product Review: Traffic Resort
Traffic Resort is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test…
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless–they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.
The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive–I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads–the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into “Traffic Resort” links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Traffic Resort Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way–links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you’ll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!
After you’ve created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Traffic Resort link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Traffic Resort link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Traffic Resort. So if anyone clicks the Traffic Resort image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It’s a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.
Now every time the ad window displays (your Traffic Resort links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members’ links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.
And this works virally–meaning as you make referrals into Traffic Resort (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Traffic Resort image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Traffic Resort also.
I didn’t get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated–my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Traffic Resort even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all–downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Traffic Resort really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it’s valuable as a user, but no so often that it’s a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT’s cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Traffic Resort. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

Join MLM – Reasons to Sign Up
Too many people stagnate for years in jobs that bring them very little money or even satisfaction. It can be a pain to get up early every morning to go to the office and be told what to do by other people. Self employment is a dream that many people have but have no idea how to realize. Fortunately, there are methods of going about this process in a logical, step-by-step way. MLM is one method, and there are a great deal of reasons to join MLM systems and in turn encourage others to do the same. This creates a whole community of self-employed entrepreneurs.
People who join MLM programs, and manage to actually make money off of them, fall into a certain category. They are bright, inquisitive, and dissatisfied with their current employment situation. Perhaps the motivation is more money than what they are currently making, or perhaps it is more a matter of wanting to work for themselves and not have to answer to a boss. Those who are most successful tend to be married with children, and are able to commit to the program wholeheartedly for the sake of their families. They also tend to be over the age of 25, and are already homeowners, or have managed to stay in the same apartment for a while.
This is not to say that only people fitting this profile of stability should join MLM; these are merely the most common types. Anyone can benefit from the proven methods behind MLM programs, which explains their ongoing popularity. In the past, the programs worked more on a door-to-door sign-up basis. This required a great deal of gumption and legwork. Nowadays, anyone with computer access can send out convincing recruitment emails and get others on board almost instantly, and on a daily basis.
Leading to great profits, another reason to join MLM marketing schemes is to achieve freedom to spend more time with your loved ones. Too often in this workaholic society we go to work at the expense of our friends and family. Many people see the years fly right by without having the time to soak up the rewards of having a family. By working at home on a program such as this that requires little investment of time and money, there is a great deal of free time left that gives time to pursue hobbies before retirement and spend more quality time at home as well.
