Review: Web Traffic Machines
Before I jump into the review, I just want to let everyone know that I’ve decided give everyone who finished the One Page A Day challenge a free copy of PLRSiteBuilder in addition to the AdSense book. So you’re all winners! Watch this blog…
Today, though, I want to focus on Web Traffic Machines, which has the dubious distinction of being the first ClickBank product I’ve disliked enough to ask for a refund.
Web Traffic Machines
A couple of weeks ago there was a lot of hoopla about Web Traffic Machines, or WTM for short. I lost track of how many Internet marketing gurus were promoting this sucker. I didn’t feel like coughing up a $97/month membership, so I took the $37 10-day trial instead, figuring it would give me enough time to take the software for a spin. I was pretty busy with other things, but I found some time to test things out. (If you don’t use these tools carefully, don’t be surprised if the search engine cops pull you over and tell you to get a DUI attorney for driving traffic to your sites via questionable methods.)
WTM is actually a set of software tools. Like most such tools, they only work on Windows — sorry, Mac and Linux users! (They may work on a PC emulator of some kind.) There’s a “meta-tool” for starting the individual tools, but it never worked on my Vista machine. After contacting support about this (the clock was ticking, after all) they told me to download the individual tools one-by-one. First, though, I had to wait for the tools to be activated — you can download the software right away but it took a few hours for activation to occur, which was a surprise. (Seems to me they should learn a thing or two about customer relationship management — when you lay out real money you want to use the stuff right away.)
As it turns out, all the software included in WTM is downloadable for free anyhow. So you can try each software tool once with no restrictions and decide if you like them or not. If you purchase WTM you get an activation code for all the tools that are part of the WTM package. I’m not sure how many of these tools are actually new, certainly the packaging of them into a monthly membership is new.
I noticed all the gurus was saying the tools could be used for nefarious purposes in the hands of the wrong people and that it was up to you to use them responsibly. I see what they mean. With these tools you can create “unlimited” accounts on GMail, Yahoo, various forums, AOL, create Google pages, create WordPress blogs, create Blogger blogs, etc. A splogger’s wet dream, in other words. (Of course, some people dream of washers and dryers. To each his/her own…)
Putting aside the fact that the tools aren’t that obvious to use (I was scratching my head a lot on a few of them), I can’t honestly condone the techniques being used. There’s a fine line between using tools to help you do your Internet marketing and using tools to spam as part of your Internet marketing, and I think WTM crosses that line.

Visit the download page above and take a good look at the tools and you’ll see what I mean. Maybe you’ll find them useful, and certainly the WTM membership is a cheaper way to get access to them in the short term. I suspect most of my readers, though, will be better off pursuing more traditional traffic generation methods.

Funny. This same set of buggy constant-crashing software has been selling for a LONG time at 50$/month. Guess they found out they could sucker people out for even more.
Each tool they’re selling has a much better competitor product btw.
Thank you for the wonderful news about PLRSiteBuilder, Eric!
