This is the big promotion of the moment, by Mike Filsaime, so I feel I ought to say something about it.

First - I don’t have a copy, or intend to buy a copy. Neither am I promoting it.

Traffic Fusion is a very expensive product. Well, actually two products. Traffic Fusion and something called “Hyper Java”. The cost is… wait for it! … $1500 AND a monthly fee of $39. That’s why you’re seeing so many ads at the moment. There’s a hefty commission for those promoting it!

Ignore all the bumph about Integration Marketing etc - they are just buzzwords put to something that’s been done for years -the basic idea is this: You get to place your ads on other peoples “Thank You” pages.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but apart from some spit-and-polish where you can create, track, tweak your ads etc this is nothing new. In fact an underused service called “Thank You Ads” did more or less the same thing, but it run as a basic traffic exchange. And interesting fact #2, I remember Mike himself used this on at least one of his sites, listdotcom.com

Sure, you could strike it lucky and get to meet some good JV partners and get your own product on some big sellers page - but let’s face it, it’s unlikely. The idea is sound in that Thank You pages are in some ways prime real estate, and the visitor there already has/her credit card out,  but that’s not a new idea.

I’m actually thinking the big launches are not as interesting as they used to be. Are the guru’s running out of ideas (lol) ? Are they getting lazy ? Are they just repackaging and rebranding ?

This is the second big launch in the last few weeks after “Stomping The Search Engines”, but that was more or less free so I was happy to promote. I’m having trouble figuring out the benefits to this one.

There are some great bonus offers around, and there’s a lot of “stuff” thrown in to sweeten the deal with Traffic Fusion, but the core benefit of this just doesn’t seem worth the outlay.

Now Mike is a successful marketer, so I’m sure he knows what he’s doing with Traffic Fusion, but my gut feeling here is style over substance. If you feel you can get some benefit from this then go ahead - here’s the non-affiliated link - but please tread carefully.

This is not a scam, you know what you’re getting, but you have to decide for yourself whether or not you can make use of it. I have nothing against high priced products - because one persons “expensive” is anothers “reasonable”.  As for me? , I’ll pass.
