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.

My experience with the program so far

This is a new program, and so far has been pretty good. They publish training videos, and host live zoom calls. There is an official Facebook group page as well as an internal social media account where you can mingle with other members. I really like that they take the time to check all reviews to ensure they are not put up in order to try and "game" the system.

What I Like

I like the fact that Local City Places is free to join for anyone. I also like the fact that you can earn income from those reviews, but you don't get paid for the reviews themselves, you get paid if the business decides to come on board as a featured business. You need to post honest reviews (good or bad), and they are all checked by a real person to ensure quality vs quantity. Think of it like Yelp or Google Reviews, but you can earn an income.

What I Dislike

The only thing I can say I dislike would be that it can take some time for a review to post, because they are all manually checked (not that this is a bad thing), so it can take a little bit of time for reviews to get posted.

Final Verdict

I would say that Local City Places is a great place to join and post honest reviews for businesses. If you post the first review, and a business decides to join as a featured business you will be paid for each and every month that business stays on board. Can you imagine having a few businesses deciding to come on board as a featured business and getting paid monthly based on that?

There is no sales, you don't have to convince anyone, or any business to come on board, all you have to do is post an honest review, good or bad, and they will take care of the rest. It's just like posting (or reading) reviews on Yelp or Google. I say why not. It really costs nothing but a few minutes, and it's free to join. It's a total win.

My experience with the program so far

LiveGood is a really solid Network-Marketing-Affiliate-Program with great products (high-quality nutritional supplements), weekly Live-Webinars and a top Management -Team with lots of experience in the field of marketing and product distribution.

The products are highest quality and really affordable compared to competitor products, and the website and marketing materials perform really well.

What I Like

Getting started was easy and smooth for me, my emails - whenever I needed help - were answered straight away, and payments - at least up till now - came always through as promised.

What I Dislike

The company used to promise thousands of dollars of passive income only by joining and hoping for Spillover from your Upline. Meaning that you would reach passive income without ever lifting a finger.

That - of course - can happen, but I think you have to be very lucky and you should not count on it.

Final Verdict

Good, rock-solide opportunity with really small start-up costs, high-quality and in-demand products that will be here for a long time and can generate you a really solide residual income, if you are willing to do something for it.

Philip Martindale's review...
Master Affiliate Profits (MAP) is a system that has been put together by John Thornhill and Omar and Melinda Martin. John Thornhill is the founder of the successful and popular Ambassador Program. Omar and Melinda are CMO and CEO of Higher Level Strategies, providing training, products and services for online marketers.

Their aim with MAP is to provide a complete ecosystem for affiliate marketers. The intention is to safe-guard leads (so they are not poached by the program vendors) and to include traffic, training and tools within the system. In addition, affiliates who sign-up will enjoy high commissions, even up to 100% during the current phase 2 that is open until the end of April.

My experience with the program so far

I joined about 3 weeks ago as a MAP Backer during phase 2. Though I consider myself very experienced with affiliate marketing, I have learned some absolute gems in the training. Implementing this new-found knowledge has helped me attract some high quality traffic to my one-link and build my list. I am confident that sales will follow soon as I can tell from the built-in tracking that I am getting a lot of interest from potential buyers.

By joining in phase 2, as a platinum member, I am showing my lifetime commitment to MAP. I can see how the system will remove many of the obstacles that have been holding affiliate marketers back. I am going to get 75% commissions on affiliates who join and upgrade to higher levels during phase 3, and I will also be entitled to level 2 commissions of 25%. As members will have to pay monthly (from phase 3 onwards), this will add up very nicely.

The lifetime cost of $797 (one-off) is good value for what you get, and just two sales will be all I need to earn more than that back,

Free members (joining in the imminent phase 3) will also be able to earn high commissions e.g. 100% on a product inside the system called traffic jump-start and 25% commissions on silver, gold or platinum level sales. Higher commissions are attainable by joining at the higher levels.

What I Like

I especially like the lead safe-guarding that MAP offers owing to the fact that it is an ecosystem. Its holistic qualities also mean that I have almost all the training and tools that I will ever need. The tools range from the ability to build funnels to creating bonuses and more. The training covers subjects such as list building, email marketing, traffic, video marketing, blogging, social media, and creating ads and banners.

I like the fact that the compensation plan is easy to understand and does not include gimmicks like powerlines and spillover and so on.

The fact that it will have a free membership option from phase 3 onwards, appeals to me, as it will be easier to sign prospects up who may then go on to upgrade.

I also like the way you can potentially earn commissions from external sources that the system integrates with or utilizes, such as WarriorPlus, JVZoo. Clickbank, Udimi, Aweber, Getresponse and so on.

The way that I can sort or filter my clicks by source, tracking ID and date, is a great feature as well as the way my leads and sales data are displayed.

What I Dislike

There is nothing I dislike. It has a few 'coming soon' items, but as long as they are indeed coming soon i.e. in phase 3, that's absolutely fine. The training and tools that are there are already very extensive.

Final Verdict

The system lives up to the claim that it is an ecosystem, with safe-guarding of your leads, built-in traffic, one link to promote, generous commissions, extensive training and tools and a thriving Facebook group.

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

Hello and welcome to my review of Cliqly. I would like to start out by saying I am simply writing this review to inform you and warn you about this company as they started out great and I did make profit but certain things have happened in between being good and now being a company that I am thinking of starting a lawsuit against... Let's get to it.

My experience with the system had been great right up until the fall when things fell apart MAJORLY...

I had been paid up to 3000.00 or more in commissions at this point and had been making profit. To those who say it isnt possible it is you just need to know how to spend smart and not buy the sales and know how to outweigh prices like you would do when you go to a grocery store and outweigh a sale price with another item that is possibly cheaper or whatever.

Cliqly was a system where you could build a business the right way... Or at least thats how it seemed. I did start to build a very good business was tier 5 and had 162,000+ on my list. I had got paid up until the fall and I had not got my October payment. This was my own fault because my bank gave me the wrong information and I missed my payment due to this...

November I had been given my November payment and had made quite a bit while winning a contest and then came December and January. I didn't get those payments... Now being owed 1000 dollars more I have simply stopped with this company and have talked to support about such things as my payments are missing and furthermore telling them to cancel myinboxpro WHICH they still haven't done and I am still getting charged every month...

See why I am phoning lawyers?

What I Like

Well I did like the simplicity of the system, how easy it was to build your list and how easy it was to email them every day... I did like getting 1-2 payments a month and it was a nice passive income for my business...

What I Dislike

Up above I explained about how I have not been paid 3 payments now and they keep charging myinboxpro and wont refund or stop the payments.

They claim that they don't have enough staff to deal with an "Influx" That happened last year around April and kept going up every month since... Though this could be true and this influx could have screwed up the system as they claimed that a lot of the new members were putting in the wrong bank information (which again I could see as this would create back logs that would jam the system) and they don't have the payment staff to back pay people which they are "Looking" For new staff, it has still created QUITE a strain on the good system they had...

CEO Bobby Jones keeps saying that they will have everything in working order soon but they have been saying this since November and I held onto that promise as I had been paid in the past but still have not seen ANY of my 3 payments paid to my account especially when I am still within my first year and a half of marketing and still need that money to back my business...

I have threatened them with lawsuits and many other things as well as trying to be nice in emails and have not received anything. The support staff don't answer anymore.

Final Verdict

My final verdict is If you want to chance this system then go for it but my true 100% Advice is stay away from Cliqly as it has gone way downhill... People hve been walking away way too much and I hope that you can heed my warning as I do not trust them anymore...

Bobby keeps saying they are working on it but I don't feel these problems should persist more than a month. Staff are easy to find, System problems are easy to fix (I have my own website that I have had to work on and mind you its not as big as cliqly but my website took 2 days to fix without any tech staff when I had issues... ), and payments should be handed out more often if they are behind...

Either way I hope this warning will help you see that this system is not worth the trouble. Take it from someone (Me) Who is going through calling lawyers and news systems to take them down as they should not be allowed to harm people especially when we are trying to get financially free and they seem to be harming peoples funds now...

Good luck and please stay away from this system.

Update: I am still seeing people promoting this no-good program. I finally got myinboxpro cancelled and got my money back on all purchases but still not my pays... I think people need to stay away from this 100%

Linda Bomba's review...
My experience with the program so far

I recently learned about this program however I did have a free account for a long time and never used it.

Boy have I been missing out!

I actually went PRO today and set up 10 ads and started getting leads immediately!

I had no idea how powerful this system is and using it to grow my online business.

What I Like

I like all the different features you can use. I have been able to upload high converting pages that I have a share code.

This has to be one of the most powerful systems I have seen in the 12+ years I have been online. I am paying way more for just my auto responder!

For $27 you get a funnel and page maker, an auto responder, a tracking tool, a rotator tool and advertising through being able to set up 10 days and by giving reviews of products/services you use.

Not only do they pay you for referring people through their affiliate program, they pay you to surf 10 ads everyday with their daily action bonus. They also pay you through promoting their COOP, PPC and credit encashment.

There is not other affiliate program in this industry that does this so again there so many features and tools with this system it is worth way more than $27 per month.

What I Dislike

So far NOTHING but if I had to pick something and would like to see they pay faster there is currently a 60 day hold on commissions.

Final Verdict

I think is an outstanding system that every online business owner needs for a price that can't be beat!

I am so impressed with this whole system and the longer I use the more value I see there truthfully is anything else out there like this in our industry. I wish I found this when I got online in 2011.

If I was just starting out I would use this and not invest the thousands of dollars I have put into having auto responders, funnel makers, tracking tools and advertising. This is the best resource I have to date in this industry the value for the price is outstanding.

Leads Leap is a platform that will help you get more leads and sales and give you exposure for your business.
