TrafficBrokers is, in principle, a system with great potential and logically makes a lot of sense, but it's hindered by flawed execution.

Here is the main, and fatal, flaw: The offers are substandard. The offer payouts to the clients/websites are less than the client/website would earn by just going directly to Commission Junction and using their services instead.

Choose any of the offers listed in TBTrack.com, and compare the payout listed there to the payout for the same offer at CommissionJunction.com. In many cases the terms and phrasing are EXACTLY the same (because it's the same offer) but TBTrack's payout is always lower.

So essentially the client would be better served by just using Commission Junction instead of the TB service. As many people have pointed out, why wouldn't the client just do exactly that, and cut out the middle man (the traffic broker)? The answer from the TB staff is always the same: "Every business has this risk."

This becomes especially ironic when you consider the technology behind the TrafficBrokers system. TrafficBrokers is built on the technology of the HasOffers platform. Check them out at HasOffers.com. How do I know this? A little research reveals that the go2speed.org URLs which are listed in the ad code in TBTrack.com are owned by HasOffers. So basically TrafficBrokers is just piggybacking on HasOffers, and anyone who wants to "cut out the middleman" could do exactly that: cut out TB and just become a customer of HasOffers. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, you could say.

Where it becomes a little bit more shady is when you consider that the offers listed in TBTrack.com are ACTUALLY COMMISSION JUNCTION OFFERS. Click on the Tracking Link for any of the offers listed in TBTrack.com and watch your browser's status bar (at the bottom). You'll see many URLs go flashing by, but one of them is emjcd.com. Try typing that directly into your browser's address bar and see where you're redirected to. Surprise! It's Commission Junction.

So that means that TrafficBrokers is simply using the HasOffers platform to serve up Commission Junction offers, and rebrand them as their own TB offers, but at lower payouts.

And that's really the smoking gun. It exposes as a full-on lie the standard statement from TB staff that they don't take a cut from the payouts. If they're serving up Commission Junction offers but the payout is less, then where is that extra money going? I'll let you guess.

I've posted several threads in the past about why the TB payouts are less than CJ's, and every time my post has been deleted without explanation. Now I know why.

To cancel your TrafficBrokers subscription, simply click the link in the email you received from ClickBank, and follow the appropriate steps to file a cancellation ticket. Please know that you may request a refund of up to 2 months worth of subscription fees if you are able to give a clear and acceptable explanation to ClickBank.

Good luck everyone! Cut out the middleman and go directly to HasOffers + CommissionJunction!
