Lately, I’m even seeing site owners promising money that they can pay and then having to close down because they can afford to pay their members. It’s like all the things that are going on hurt the good and honest site owners also as there are some of us that are trying very hard to grow their sites with hard work and honesty – and then you get these people that don’t care come along.

It’s very disappointing that all this goes on and I don’t like seeing all these splash pages promising things I know are NOT going to happen. It’s really sad with the economy the way it is right now – that there are so many, many, many people out there just using others.

I’m back again, Gary brings up a good point about forum bashing etc which is a reason why I dont visit them much anymore.

Gary, I need guys like you to tell Ray and Paula to add Traffic Dynamite to Power Surf Central!

Long live the click!

I concur with your entry. Lately, it seems to me that an additional traffic exchange consideration is the “blackballing” by various administrators of traffic exchange websites of their competitors.
For a long time now I thought we were all in this together in friendly competition for the advertising and referral traffic the exchanges produced. To see the forums bashing admins and their business practices for their beliefs is not good for the traffic exchange industry. So, some of the traffic exchange leaders band together at the expense of another peer. What does this accomplish?
Viewing these practices as an outsider ( and not a traffic exchange admin) I now see the need to review the websites I see available to me before I join and surf. It is a real shame for us all to see these negative issues arise in the traffic exchange industry.
No traffic exchange owner or administrator should wield such a long sword as to make decisions that affect so many. If the issue continues the collapse of the traffic exhanges as an industry could occur due to governmental intervention.
This gives me just cause to continue my support of PowerSurfCentral as my main traffic exchange venue since the values of that group are superior to competitors in the industry. In other words, just keep on truckin’.

This is a great post which begs the question, where do you stand on ptp, ptr and/or ptc sites?

These are bonafide money makers for some folks however others have been ripped off by them. There are some reputable ones and others that are just plain sleezy.

The same can be said for products and services however like you said who are we as owners to say what is right or not within reason?

Thanks for your insight and where you stand on this matter,
