My experience with the program so far
In a word: Horrible. I'm an experienced online networker and beyond any doubt, this is the WORST program I've ever seen. Highly disguised under comments of being the best and easiest. With this strong of an expression, it cannot be summarized in a few words. In short, it's not even a business opportunity (freely acknowledged by its owner and founder) but a unique emailing program.
From the user's point of view, it has no elements of business where you can take and control a positive and defined action, such as the wording in an ad or where to place it, and then measure the result to determine the best step.
You perform some actions, such as requesting additions to your openers list, with no idea of what is being said or where it's being posted. All you get is a certain number of new openers or people who are now assigned to you. You receive a downloadable list of names and emails, but there's no way to know if these are real or bots, and from this list, you proceed to send out emails. That's another story. But again, the bottom line is this is like playing the slot machines or gambling, and like gambling, some win and some lose.
My quantitative experience is that I religiously worked this program for 8 months, keeping good data, logging in, and posting daily. I invested a total of $1182 over this period and collected just $673 in commissions. I had another $112 due to me, but it wasn't payable until I hit the $300 payout threshold, with little chance of that happening with the remaining mail credits. When I resigned, I had 114,814 'openers' or contacts, which were considered by the company to be assets and could be exported to a .csv file, which I did. There was no guarantee if these were real names, bots, or otherwise, and using them, particularly under the new 'low bounce' rules, was not practical. Every legitimate 'bulk mailer' would not allow third-party emails to be uploaded or sent, so they had no value.
What I Like
Virtually nothing, other than the fact you could do this program with approximately 15-30 minutes of work time daily. I also like the fact the owner communicates regularly, typically weekly. Half of his generally hour-long updates are rehashes of the program, emphasizing that it is the only program on the internet that does all three elements of email marketing: providing a list to mail to, providing content to the recipients that can be monetized, and providing the mail delivery asset or program, including keeping the IPs fresh. After listening to nearly all the updates, you begin to learn that there is no valuable content that will tell you exactly what to do, and the disclaimer is: 'You all have different lists, and each has its own characteristics.'
What I Dislike
What I dislike is the way this is presented. It's offered as a free trial where you can learn how the program works and actually see that some people will open your emails, and that in the process, you are earning monetary credit. In my case, in the first 30 days, I earned $112.00. The catch is that you can't collect any money until you upgrade (the lowest upgrade is $97), and then you are not paid until your accrued commissions hit $300. While most commissions are eventually paid, many people report delays
Final Verdict
It's not a reliable, measurable, or repeatable business. It's an interesting gamble, much like playing the slot machines. The risks are probably about the same. The house (Bobby) will always win; for others, some will win and write rave reviews, while others won't. You will only find positives on their approved Facebook page as any negative comments are not allowed. If you have money to gamble, you can do this with as little as 15-30 minutes a day. Be sure to include the value of your time. Breaking even or only earning $500 after putting in two months or so is NOT a good investment.
I have resigned from this program and do NOT recommend it.

I've found TrafficEra to be a unique blend of traffic exchange and social networking, aimed at boosting online visibility. It's a platform where you can dive into various advertising tools like website surfing, splash page creation, and banner ads, alongside a vibrant social network.

What I Like
The standout feature of TrafficEra is its comprehensive approach to online marketing. The ability to not just exchange traffic but also create engaging splash pages and participate in a community-driven network offers a multifaceted strategy for digital presence. The community aspect, where users support and uplift each other, adds a layer of value not commonly found in similar platforms.
What I Dislike
Despite its benefits, TrafficEra comes with challenges. The platform has a steep learning curve, which can be daunting for newcomers. The time commitment required to fully engage with all its features and the community can be substantial, which might not suit everyone. Additionally, navigating through the sheer volume of content and interactions to find what's genuinely beneficial can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Final Verdict
TrafficEra is a robust platform for those dedicated to expanding their online visibility through a community-centric approach. It offers a unique set of tools that, when leveraged properly, can significantly enhance your digital footprint. However, it's best suited for users who are willing to invest time in learning its intricacies and engaging with the community. If you're looking for a straightforward, less interactive approach to online marketing, TrafficEra might not be the best fit. For those ready to dive into its community and explore its diverse advertising options, TrafficEra can be an invaluable asset in your online marketing arsenal.
