What is a Traffic Network, actually?
A network can be compared to a huge restaurant. Where everything (in theory) should work in sync. From sales and marketing managers to the tech team and support.
Break one link in the chain, and the whole operation can fall apart. Just like in a restaurant, to earn a Michelin star, everything matters. From the product aka the site, to the way this “dish” aka the ad impression is delivered to the customer, shapes the perception of clients aka advertisers and publishers. And potentially earns you a star from the critics.
So, we decided to break down what networks would get these stars for, or even several. And whether Trafficshop would get one.

So, the first thing to look at is how processed the “food” is, aka how many hands what you bought has already passed through.
Yes, you can see the same sites across multiple networks. But the catch is in how and through whom they got there. And yes, at what cost. If the supplier didn’t think about how the product would be transported, and pushed it through a million polluted roads, rivers, and sewage channels, meaning it was routed through thousands of dirty domains, then there’s no talking about the “ECO” of that product.
Minus one star!

The Second Star goes to those who fight pests in the kitchen. And those who try, actively or passively, to mess with the cleanliness of the place where ads are cooked.
Adscore, GeoEdge and VirusTotal act as the jury. The final boss is the company’s own monitoring.
We will never get tired of repeating that everything that opens on our devices and on our users’ devices, whether it is a pop, a pre-landing or a banner, must be clean. No matter what your offer is.
And by the way, it should not harm or mislead the user either. Whether you are buying traffic for dating or for an app, the cleanliness inside it is what earns you another star.

And this brings us to another important point. The landing pages themselves.
We have already talked many times about domain cleanliness. But what your end user actually sees is even more important. For both our reputation and yours.
What do restaurant guests NOT want to see? Misleading prices on the menu. Or when instead of a dish they bring you a plate of something that looks more like something Santa brings to bad kids on Christmas.
Same here. Users do not want to see misleading content on the page if they came to place a simple sports bet.
Or suddenly see their bank card, phone and computer getting blocked right after they make a payment. Yes, tech support offers are still in fashion. For those with questionable taste.
Or even better. Imagine going to an adult only restaurant and finding more screaming kids and barking dogs than actual adults.
That is exactly how a user feels when a landing page is bombarded with JS and push notifications non stop, with no way to close it. How fast would you try to escape
Minus a million stars for that!

The fourth star is the staff.
Do they shout, “Here’s the menu, check the prices yourself?” Or do they actually explain what you can buy and for how much, for example popunder traffic on CPM?
Do they even reply? Or do you have to place your order through a bot that can only say your account for buying and selling traffic has been blocked, figure it out yourself?
How fast will you get a payout or a refund if the purchase did not meet expectations? For objective reasons, of course.
So yes, we will judge objectively and give ourselves all FOUR stars.
Because at Trafficshop Ad Network you will find managers who actually respond and help you set up any campaign. They will guide you to buy the traffic that fits you best.
Our control over the domains you use for selling, and the constant monitoring of what you buy, is not a whim. It is what makes our traffic and our network unique
We always track where our popunder traffic goes, or any other format. We know exactly who we work with and who we sell to.
You can rely on us. And you will want to come back again and again. Or not leave at all.
But if you have your own ideas on how to earn more stars, we would love to hear them in the comments on our social media.
Bon appétit!
