Ok big boyz, I need your help&wisdom PLEASE!!!.

Is www.easysitehits.com a traffic broker scam?

Their website is attractive and persuasive.
Redirected traffic sounds great! What a smart idea.

Recently I found:

www.handytraffic.com

Which is obviously made from the same person as easysitehits.
BUT, easysitehits says it has been on the NET since 98, handytraffic says it has been on the NET since 03. Also their main office location is in
NEW YORK city, but easysitehits is on the 15th floor and handytraffic is on 12th floor of the same NYC buidling.

Weird thing is, I did a domain check on easysitehits.com with maddog.
It says the site was created in July01 not 98, and the webmaster lives in ITALY not NYC!

Check it out:

Guys what do you think of this?

**chrishirst** · 04-28-2005, 06:05 AM

just ask yourself one question.

would you buy from a site you were dumped on rather than where you expected to be and one that may not even be what you were looking for ??

No!

Neither would most people.

go with your instinct on this one!

Good gracious, you analyse like sherlock. Well, how can you say that its the same developer. Handytraffic is registered in ny and the fradulant easyblahblah is in italy???

I think the reason they could look so similar is because traffic "companies" like this buy their "traffic" wholesale from "traffic" wholesalers, who provide the tracking software etc. As a result, many of these sites seem *very* similar.

It is painfully obvious from the hits I received that this service is not sending people to the website as promised - but instead, automating the process of loading my webpage through a software program or script. I know this because for 6 months, 80% of my visitors performed a specific act. Out of the hundreds of "visitors" you claimed to have sent, 0% performed this specific act.

They accept paypal payments. But PayPal does not tolerate fraud or illegal activities. A complaint will be noted in the record of the PayPal user you reported. If they find this user has violated its policies, they will investigate and take appropriate action.

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE - FILE A COMPLAINT WITH PAYPAL!! THE MORE COMPLAINTS THERE ARE - THE QUICKER PAYPAL WILL FREEZE THEIR ACCOUNT

I'm not sure what the "specific act" is, but the lack of people performing said act doesn't necessarily mean that real users aren't hitting your site.

A lot of times, they're sent there at random as the result of a toolbar or "paid to surf" program (e.g. the stumbleupon.com toolbar), look around for the required 30 seconds or whatever, rate the site, and move on to the next one.

In other words, it's probably real traffic. It's just what most people refer to as trash traffic because it's non-converting.

Freezing a PayPal account won't do much good. It's easy enough to set up another bank account and start another one.

The best thing you can do is not to purchase traffic such as this. Organic visitors are worth a thousand times more than forced visitors.

I have emailed easysitehits.com concerning the false information displayed on their site (year of foundation, country of origin, etc) and this is the email that I recieved:

Quote:

Thanks for your email and trust in our service. Regarding your domain whois inquiry EasySiteHits.com belongs to a larger network. The wholesaler company that owns and sells this traffic is much larger than us and is well established (they are online since 1998). In other words, EasySiteHits.com is a showcase where you can purchase and setup a targeted traffic campaign (general public has no access to the wholesaler company). The same for HandyTraffic. Anyway, we sold HandyTraffic a while ago and we are not controlling it anymore.

We are owned by an italian corporation, but most of our customers are from the US. THus, we set up aNY address as a base for US operations.
I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to email me for any additional question you may have!

I'll leave it up to you to decide what to make of that...

Sounds like junk traffic to me. Harvey seems to have hit the nail on the head about the traffic coming from a bigger traffic wholesaler. From what I see it is likely that the traffic comes from spyware etc.

**francis84** · 08-25-2008, 10:48 PM

On depend your traffics from this kind of website... It brings no good to your website.
