Mark Hodgetts's review...
My experience with the program so far

Traffic Hoopla has been around for as long as I can remember. It has evolved a lot over the years and has responded to the changing dynamics of the advertising industry as the traffic generation industry has evolved.

Starting out as a ranking service for traffic exchanges solely, Traffic Hoopla has never really pretended to be anything else other than a downline builder and a ranking service.

Over the years there has been much conjecture about the veracity of the rankings, but every week without fail, Hoopla's owner, Bill Carr has published his rankings. He doesn't shy away from the fact that he ranks each advertising service according to several key factors. These are and always have been:

  1. The authenticity of traffic.
  2. The volume of traffic.
  3. The responsiveness of traffic.
  4. The profitability of the affiliate program.

He has copped criticism from time to time about seeming to favor certain exchanges and not rating some very popular ones. However. He has been consistent in ranking traffic services according to his criteria.

From its humble beginnings of ranking the top 10 exchanges, Hoopla has now become a viral traffic generator of its own accord with specific sites dedicated to slightly different sections of the market. Besides the flagship program, Hoople also has sites dedicated to:

  • List Mailers
  • Traffic Exchanges
  • Viral advertising
  • Bitcoin earning sites
  • Rewards earning sites
  • Most profitable traffic earning sites

Each program draws you further into the traffic web, with several traffic sources (including Leads Leap) being consistently recommended across all sites.

As a traffic builder, Hoopla has proven to be more durable than anything else on the market, it also has the added bonus of generating some affiliate commissions over time.

What I Like

Hoopla first and foremost has a trust element built into its brand. It keeps on keeping on. By and large, its rankings (with the occasional surprise) are pretty close to my own perceptions. It is consistent, clear, and never wavers from its core purpose of building traffic. If you use this and recommend it to others, it will help you to build traffic over time.

What I Dislike

Some of Bill's emails are a little folksy for me, but that's really nitpicking. I'd like to see a little more how-to guides for beginners in the member's area as it can be a little confusing. Sometimes. , I fear that Bill's desire to keep things simple may be a little overzealous. But it seems to work for him - so who am I to judge?

Final Verdict

The Hoopla family should be part of your marketing arsenal. Preferably recommended on the back end of your marketing efforts. It is proven to work, helps build traffic, and has been around for almost as long as Traffic Exchanges. If you haven't joined, I think that you should.

Joy Healey's review...
Update March 2024

Just been reviewing my reviews at LeadsLeap :-)

Some I have deleted as they didn't stand the test of time, but The Downliner is still firmly on my favourites list. Sending me traffic (especially from the Social Posts). Just this morning I had a renewal commission from a long term customer, so he is presumably as impressed as I am.

My experience with the program so far


I first joined this program three years ago, then left it while I had a break from online business, but I always remembered it fondly.

So when I came back online and was reminded of it, I was pleased to restart my paid membership, and, within my first month, someone who found a site I'm advertising on The Downliner joined my business. That's more than covered the cost of my first month's membership.

Within my own contacts I have recruited two TDL team members who have been equally impressed with the site, Both have upgraded too, and stayed long term members. My commission was registered promptly (can be withdrawn when it reaches $20), although I tend to use it to buy further advertising. I found several 'free' members too, but it's not uncommon that T/E members stay free.

What I Like

  • There are 3 levels of membership, one is free and the other two are extremely good value.
  • Free members can earn from their referrals
  • There's a low ($20) threshold to withdraw your commissions by PayPal or Payza
  • You're only 'charged for' unique views, other views are classed as Free Views.
  • There's a lot to get my head round, but within the site dashboard another member has provided an extremely helpful explanatory video
  • Support is excellent, I even had prompt answers over the weekend
  • Paid members TDL can join the 'TDL Machine' which gives access to All In One Profits, a complete suite of business tools with plans starting at just $10 a month and paying an amazing $10 a month commission (even more for the higher plan levels). The TDL Machine will find you 6 paying members to get your AIOP business off to a flying start. I didn't join this as I already have an auto-responder, but for anyone with no a/r this would be a great benefit.
  • The TDL detailed stats show where my link is being seen and how long visitors stay on my site
  • You can earn 'shop points' to use in your own promotions, by promoting a co-op link
  • Otherwise you can buy 'shop points' at an extremely low cost, or by upgrading
  • You can 'win' points with a daily wheel spin, and I win regularly - maybe 75% of the time.
  • You can also earn points by clicking on solo-ads that come to my in-box, clearly labelled.
  • Traffic is coming from a vast array of sources including PTCs, Safelists, Traffic Exchanges, Classified Ads, CPC traffic and well as social media I received thousands of clicks in just a few days for 5 minutes 'work' placing my social media post link on the TDL ads section.
  • Most important of all, my links are being rotated on more traffic exchanges than I've even heard of. There's no way I could cover afford the time or money to promote on all those sites personally.

What I Dislike

I wish there was a way that I could target specific countries, but nothing else.

Final Verdict

Advertising on the Downliner is saving me a ton of time and money while building my list, and - most important of all - I know it's genuine traffic because I have already had an email exchange with a lead who took a paid upgrade.

Highly recommended.

Scott Dubois's review...
My experience with the program so far

My experience with the list-building course right here I took over a year ago was exceptional. Let me explain a little about where I started.

When I first started out in Affiliate Marketing I had been struggling. I made 40 dollars in my first 3 months and that was it. I was starting to get discouraged and could not keep it up...

Here is what I was doing... I was doing affiliate marketing with Amazon and to be honest, I have long since found a proper way to do affiliate marketing with Amazon but it's not the same way that Affiliate marketing is done with digital products.

The way I was doing it was going to Facebook, Instagram, and every other social media network and just posting an unattractive link in my feed and waiting for sales... Not good at all as it only brought me 40 dollars in sales in my first 3 months.

One night I was on YouTube listening to music and an ad came over while listening to music that mentioned something to do with Affiliate Marketing. The rest is history. I signed up AND 8 days after I completed the 30-day course (Less for me because I did it in about 20 days because you can work at your own speed) I had my first sale of 1000.00. My commission on that was 500.00

What I Like

I like the teaching style of Igor. He shows you step-by-step how to set up everything from your domain to your email autoresponder, he teaches you how to find other winning offers and even teaches you how to get traffic from another source that I also use to get signups to my list.

He talks in a way that is not complicated and it is quite easy to follow along with everything if you need to pause the video for a second to set up what he showed you in a slide it is quite easy to do so.

His support is always at the ready and always willing to answer all messages that come their way. I usually had a message within a couple of hours and never had to wait a day or anything for support to get back to me...

I like how well he mentors and he isn't like the gurus out there that people are told to stay away from. Really if there are any beginners out there who are looking for a mentor to teach you Affiliate Marketing I recommend that you start with Igor as he is the best in the biz

What I Dislike

I didn't dislike anything in the course because it was all very informative. It taught me quite a bit about the business and taught me many things about the business that gave me many aha moments. I have even a couple of times gone back to the course to look up stuff or get inspiration.

Final Verdict

I don't know if I need to say any more about this course as I have stated all throughout this review it is an amazing course and I really recommend beginners to take a shot at it. Igor is the best in the biz and teaches a very thorough way of earning an income with affiliate marketing.

I have many bonuses to go along with the bonuses he offers if anyone is interested in taking the 30 day challenge. Trust me though you won't regret it.

This course is well worth every penny!

Stephanie 's review...

My experience with the program so far

My experience with List Infinity has been a very positive experience so far.

It is a viral list building program that gives you the tools & training to help you build your list fast.

All memberships allow you to earn 100% commissions (more details below).

So, not only will you be building a viral list, but you'll also be building a list of buyers and action takers.

Once I saw the value of the List Infinity System I upgraded my account within a few days, and have now been paid $1300+ in commissions, and added 160+ subscribers to my list.

You get access to the viral list building system and ability to earn 100% instant commissions. The memberships include:

  • Basic Level - $7 one time
  • Starter Level - $25 one time
  • Pro Level - $100 one time
  • Elite Level - $300 one time

Quick outline of what you get as a Pro Member

Basic and Starter member features plus:

  • 30 days email follow up series
  • 15 lead capture pages
  • Additional training
  • Earn $7 - $100 commissions on all upgrades.
  • Can earn on 7 additional income streams
  • You can also add your own recommended business opportunities for additional income

Also, there is now a Viral Traffic Builder which allows you to build your downlines and credits in some of the top mailers.

What I Like

  • Low cost to start
  • Viral list building feature helps you build your list, and MANY more benefits
  • I made a 100% ROI within just a few days & I'm able to build my list fast with the efforts of my referrals
  • High converting landing pages & DFY Follow up series
  • Paid via Paypal and/or Stripe & more
  • No monthly fees
  • Promotional tools & resources in the back office

What I Dislike

So far, nothing I dislike.

Final Verdict

I believe that List Infinity is a great program for anyone wanting to build their list and paid instantly while doing so.

It can work for both newbie marketers who want to earn while building their list & seasoned marketers looking for another income stream to add to their portfolio.

It's easy to get started today with the low cost of $7 one time, but if you don't want to miss out on multiple income streams, then you can choose from any of the higher upgrade options.

I hope you found my review helpful :)

Scott Dubois's review...
My experience with the program so far

Hey Guys today I am bringing you a quick review about a new autoresponder that BEATS ALL OTHER AUTORESPONDERS. I am going to go through and explain what is so great and why this system is a must-have ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING OUT! So let's get to it.

Before I start this review, I was really upset when I learned about this autoresponder because had I known about it when I started January of last year (2023) I would have gotten this right off the bat. I am actually in the middle of switching all my stuff over to this autoresponder as it is more cost-effective to use. In this business, we always want to find the most cost-effective ways to bring in results. This autoresponder offers just that.

SendShark is the name of this autoresponder. Now the system is amazing in many ways. I have only been a member of this autoresponder for about a week and a half at the time of writing this but nonetheless I have gone through it with a fine tooth comb and figured out that for experienced and beginner affiliates alike it is an amazing piece for your business...

Now, For the past year, I have been with a couple of autoresponders. I have one called Builderall which is amazing but I only use it for one of my systems I have DFY emails setup through it but nonetheless use it daily to send to my subscribers on it and GetResponse.

Had you asked me way back in the middle of the year last year I would have told you GetResponse was the best. I loved it. It was great until I realized the major disadvantage.

THE PRICE!

I don't have a huge list yet but nonetheless, it still costs me 30$ish a month which I only get up to 2500 subscribers... Which is ok... But when you start going up that's when you start paying more. And more. And more...

Up above you will remember me saying that your affiliate business (and any business for that matter as this is not my first business. I was a window cleaner and owned my own business) you need to find cost-effective ways to build your list and email your list FOR RESULTS...

This is where I'm going to shatter your ideas about GetResponse... GetResponse charges me 30 dollars a month for only 2500 subscribers right? Well, what if I told you that one of the biggest selling points on SendShark is you get up to 50,000 subscribers?

What would you expect to pay for that? 500 dollars? Lower... Fine 350? No Lower. One more time now how about 100 dollars a month? Nope... YOU WILL PAY 25.00 USD a month for an autoresponder that you can have up to 50,000 subscribers... WOW!

Now... Guess how much you will pay for GetResponse at 50,000 subscribers? 100 Dollars... NOPE HIGHER! 245 whopping dollars a month which will equal about 2940 a year... Which isn't bad if you are making enough sales to cover that cost but is it worth it at that point? Not really because that is 2940 dollars every year out of your sales.

SendShark will cost you around 300 dollars a year. WOW! same amount of subscribers WAY LESS MONEY... Autoresponders are seriously price gouging people now if you take the 2940 - 300 = 2640 left over you save A YEAR...

That already makes this an amazing Autoresponder. NOW other features of SendShark go without mentioning. You have your normal broadcasts, autoresponder, import/export subscribers, and of course you have your place to make forms that will make it easy to use a system like LeadsLeap to make your capture pages, there is your normal page builder on SendShark. There is one more system on SendShark that makes it really cool and to my knowledge, I don't know of this feature being in any other autoresponders and if it is I am sorry.

SendShark gives you the ability to EASILY share your email campaigns with others.

So if you have a course let's say and you have a great funnel built into an email campaign and want to share it with your trainees in your course all you need to do is grab the share code and share it with them. It is kind of like how you share pages and whatnot on LeadsLeap.

Now commissions. When you become a member of SendShark and you start promoting SendShark you will get if I remember correctly 50% commissions...

2 sales and you break even. One of the things I am always saying when talking about affiliate marketing whether it's getting traffic... Or you are getting a system with your tools or whatever it may be, if you can break even you are getting it for free WHICH is the goal because if you are breaking even anything else you make over and beyond that is profit. That is how it should work.

I already have a couple of systems where I am breaking even and have already made a profit because I broke even. Anyway, I will stop rambling and go on to the likes and dislikes.

What I Like

  • Obviously as stated above one major like is the amazing 50,000 subscriber price point for 25.00 a month. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
  • This autoresponder is simple to use much like its other competitor's systems Aweber and GetResponse
  • Share capabilities. Easy to share your campaigns with others all at the click of a button
  • 50% Commissions
  • easy to build campaigns
  • NOT AS PICKY AS OTHER COMPETITORS... This has been a very big dislike for me since having other autoresponders like GetResponse and Aweber (I forgot to mention above I used Aweber as well) By this I mean if you are advertising something they don't seem as picky. I can honestly say I was doing a campaign on advertising Myleadgen on Aweber and they got mad and stopped the campaign stating that I can't bring people to a lead system like Myleadgen even though it is a way of getting leads to your list or getting more sales... I will take this moment to say if you want to check out my review on Myleadgen it is on here under my reviews.

What I Dislike

I have yet to find something I dislike.

Final Verdict

My final verdict? I think I have said enough that should honestly show you that this system is the bomb.

As I have stated... My main Autoresponder was GetResponse and though I love GetResponse. I am pulling away from it to use Sendshark as I am finding the price to be better for the number of subscribers you can email. It is more cost-effective and CEO Joel Therien and many other people have said that there is really no reason for many other competitors to be charging as much for emailing a list of subscribers especially when you get up to 50,000 subscribers.

Joel very much so cares about the success of others and that is why he states that this system was made to be cost-effective and whatnot.

So my honest opinion is it is well worth it. Don't skip over this because it could be better for your business as I stated above you will end up saving 2640 dollars a year if your list is 50,000 subscribers or above... THAT in the long scheme of things better because that is 2640 more dollars in your pocket at the end of the year.

In business, you always have to shop around for better tools and whatnot. That is why I jumped on LeadsLeap when I found it and deleted ClickMagick and LeadPages because those two alone were costing me around 90 dollars a month alone...

So make the right choice and I will catch you on the very next review! Thanks for Reading

Make sure to check out my other reviews too. I always try my best to deliver value, proper information, and 100% honest opinions of certain systems. Thanks

Joe Leech's review...
My Experience.

My experience has been fantastic and well beyond any expectations. I'm a senior (85), and I've been involved in internet marketing for over 8 years. My only regret is not learning about this program sooner (I discovered it just a few months ago!). Had I known earlier, it would have saved me a lot of time and money. I've spent money and time on domain names, hosting, autoresponders, learning WordPress, and buying themes. That's all good to know, but having this tool earlier would have been great.

I Like


I like just about every aspect of this program. I'm still learning to use and tweak some of the tools, such as the PDF rebrander. One thing I particularly like is the reviews, as I look to expand my business inventory. Here, I can find honest assessments from users rather than reading sales hype from vendors. Another thing I appreciate is the exceptional range of tools. The cost, even with upgrades, is affordable, even for a person with a very limited budget.

What I Dislike

The learning curve is steep, and about the only way to learn on-site is to read and then print the tutorials. I use this program in conjunction with Click Engine, another one of my favorites, and Click Engine has some better tutorials which I recommend in another review.

Final Verdict

My final verdict is that I highly recommend this program for virtually any online marketer, if only to have a consolidated source of tools and a very versatile lead program. It's not entirely a full autopilot program because, to maximize the lead program, one needs to spend about 15-20 minutes a day clicking on leads to earn credits for your own form to go out. Otherwise, it's at the top of my online "stable".
