I know a lot of blogs (from all sizes) have begun employing the traffic share technology like 2leep, marketgid, wahoha and scribol.
I’ve had the chance to use Wahoha and Scribol, and can give you some feedback on that.
To be honest, I started with Scribol and only went to Wahoha after assuming that their incoming click rate (from my site) was unusually low. Was my assumption correct?
Scribol (last 7 days)
Scribol reports 2176 people sent in, with 7589 people sent back to me. Scribol shows what countries the people are coming from, which is cool, and a “–” if it doesn’t know. I personally think the “–” is a made up number; and this is why. The “–” accounted for 4369 of my referrals. Google Analytics reports that I really received 3,375 visits from Scribol over the same period. Pretty much confirming that whatever “–” is, it’s not any sort of real person/traffic.
Wahoha (last 7 days)
Wahoha reports 5826 people sent in, with 11772 people sent back. Wahoha does not show the country visitors are coming from, but that’s fine since their numbers are way more accurage. Google Analytics reports that I really received 10881 visitors from Wahoha.
About an 8% discrepancy with Wahoha, who sends way more traffic, compared to a 55% discrepancy with Scribol, who sends 1/3rd the traffic as Wahoha.
So, in the end, Wahoha is the obvious better choice.
But I should point out one thing about Scribol. If you follow their advice and put their images like they want, they do site favoritism and promise higher return ratio for clicks. This does work, I saw it at the beginning, and sites can achieve 5-1 on traffic returned. Which is nice. At least on Scribol stats. I’d need to go back to Analytics and see how much of that traffic was real.
So that’s my quick review. I’ll update if I see any changes.
Good Luck, and if people wanted to post feedback on marketgid or 2leep, that would be helpful also.
Cheers
