4 Comments on Traffic Bug – The Inside View

Hi, This is my second comment on traffic bug and I am utterly confused. Unfortunately I looked at your original post on traffic bug whic i found through a google search. Since then I went to your home page and found subsequent entries.

What I need to know is are you using the paid version of traffic bug as the screen shots you show are not the same as the screens I get in the free version.

e.g. I do not get the list of social bookmarking sites in the account settings.

I vaguely wondered how they submitted bookmarks without login info and I assumed they created them from the info I gave in my settings.

If this is not the case and the free trial version doesn’t provide you with facility to enter passwords and logins then it is not a free trial. It is a simulation of how much time one would save if they used it and paid for this. This this is so this cheeses me off as no mention was made that the free version was not a fully functional version.

I will be contacting them and asking the question.

Wilf, Traffic Bug does have a module for social bookmarking, but it goes away once you’ve set up those accounts.

I am using their paid version, so maybe free version is different…

I forget how the social site set up thing was done when I first joined Traffic Bug but if I remember correctly, it was done automatically for me.

Maybe you’re already tied in with 30DC stuff that they have your accounts info already?

I have the same remark as Wilf – I have no idea where you got those screen shots !

Because Traffic Bug is NOT using our Bookmark accounts at all, they are suppose to bookmark your URL to their hundred or thousands of Bookmark accounts, all on different IP.

That with submitting a few bookmarks a day is too make it look natural

That’s how it was explained to me, I would like to know if Wilf contacted Traffic Bug !

I think some people got free, or lesser versions of TB, and were “grandfathered” in to TB somehow.

Traffic Bug updated their interface a bit but those are what an “outsider” like me who was never a part of that 30DC sees..
