Downline Integrity – Who Cares !!!!
By
There is a lot of hoopla going on at some of the traffic exchange forums about “Downline Integrity”, in the past I was completely sold on the idea now I have the opinion who cares! The idea of downlines in traffic exchanges is just retarded period. Actually surfing traffic exchanges is retarded if you are serious about making money online. Granted they do serve a purpose of delivering traffic to your site, LCP or splash page and can be used as a way to build a list. Traffic exchanges do capture the attention of people seeking something for nothing for the most part they are populated by people who are trying to make money on the Internet without spending any money. That is why they are clicking traffic exchanges.
The time and energy needed to be an active traffic exchange participant to justify the reward is nil. Yes you can create a huge downline in traffic exchanges and downline builder programs the key is to capture their attention and make the either a paying customer or a real team member to build an army of affiliates. Let’s face it what is 100 free credits for referring someone to a traffic exchange and the life long credits you receive for their activity? Seeing how most traffic exchanges have less than 10% active membership it really is a poor waste of ones time to refer others to traffic exchanges anyway. The best value of your time is to pull people out of traffic exchanges and build a relationship and use that networking opportunity or add them to your marketing list.
Spend the time you would use to surf exchanges and develop ways to make money and network. Let the traffic exchanges do their thing spend a little money buy some credits, build your list and work on making some money. I found this article about a 17 year old girl that built a million dollar website in three years. It is doubtful that she even know what a traffic exchange is and I don’t know of a single million dollar traffic exchange out there.
As far as Traffic Exchange owners marketing other products and services to the members it is their business let them do it. All the hoopla about the issue is retarded. Let the traffic exchange owners that preach downline integrity take away the marketing aspect of their business to the point that they cannot even market upgrades to their free member and see what happens. As far as worrying about downline integrity in a traffic exchange who cares. Surfing traffic exchanges is like masturbation anyway. It is redundant, self serving and addictive.
Here is the rest of the story about the 17 year old millionaire read it at Yahoo

“Actually surfing traffic exchanges is retarded if you are serious about making money online.”
I’ve got 250,000 reasons a year to disagree with that point.

Jon and you are the exception not the rule. What would be interesting to hear is how you built it up to a $250,000 a year enterprise. I am sure it is out there somewhere if I look for it, but hearing the story from the start to now would be an interesting read I am sure. Not just the successes but the failures too..
When newbie Internet Marketers find traffic exchanges and member programs such as moneylegs they are encouraged to surf traffic exchanges to no end to drive people to a referral url in those member programs. You know and I know that is not how to make money online or the best use of a traffic exchange.
If people are shown how to give their traffic exchange use a real purpose then and only then will they become successful using them.
But I still stand behind my statement using ones time to surf a traffic exchange to build credits to advertise with is a poor use of ones time if they are serious about making money online.

Well, at least a newbie marketer will know that if they join a program that follows the Downline Integrity philosophy that whatever members they do get through their own marketing efforts will not be bombarded with all kinds of “specials” from the program owner.
Yes, we all know that program owners are in business to make money….otherwise why would they put up with all this craziness? But they should have the integrity to let their members build a business also.
By helping their members, they can only help themselves….”what comes around goes around” as the old saying goes, and it’s as true online as offline.
Would you frequent a store where the owner met you at the door and started trying to sell you everything that he didn’t actually carry inside the store? I don’t think so.
It’s called Integrity….and Trust!

Well Toni your argument is flawed in that by supporting downline integrity as you describe it the only real benefactors from the process is the program owner.
They are at the top of the pyramid and rely on the efforts of those like you to build their business in an very indirect way.
Do your own thing then you will soon realize programs such as traffic exchanges and downline builders are a huge waste of time until you start making some money.
They are not the vehicles that that will help you earn an income to become a full time Internet marketer in the fastest way possible.
The Downline Integrity Brigade is accomplishing their goal by deceiving people to believe that it is the only ethical way to make money online.
You have obviously only read this one post and not the rest of this blog. I think if you are worried about downlines in traffic exchanges and downline builder programs and are not already making enough money you are destined to fail to make any real money. As soon as you stop worring about chasing stars and sit your ass down and do some work only then will you realize success.
