    Hi Friends

    I started my website http://www.amoledscreen.net just a 40 days ago. and 3 days ago I started usind 2leep to get some boost. Alexa loves my site so Alexa ranked it among top 100000 just in the first month although it was very ironical :)

    But, after using 2leep, traffic really grew at faster rate and now I am getting almost 10,000 page views per day.
    What do you think my CTR would be???
    0.09%
    YEah this is not a mistake this is the actual stats upto now. I just got a few clicks on ads in last 3 days with over 25000 page views :((
    So my questions is that is this the case with everyone who uses traffic exchange prgrams like 2leep or MGID???
    Or I am the exceptional case???
    I have a feeling that people coming from 2leep hate clicking on ads.
    As far as the ad placement is concerned, I dont think its bad. Although I would appreciate if you could visit the site and see ad placement beside clicking on a ad LOL.
    I am desperately waiting for your experiences about this kind of traffic.
    Regards.

    what is MGID?

    often the traffic from such exchanges is just robot traffic

    No google have no problem with this kind of traffic as far as the quality of widgets and content are according to the terms of google.
    Oddee.com and some other sites have a rank of around 3000 and they use traffic exchange a lot almost 30% of their comes from 2leep. and thy are never blocked by adsense.

    Yes, that's correct. 2leep & MGID provide a very similar service, and they both do not infringe upon Google AdSense policies. They are used by hundreds of bloggers.

    I also use 2leep.
    I get some traffic. However, quality if traffic is very less.

    I mean i am getting very fewer clicks and leads.

    If your CTR is extremely low, Google knows that the traffic is not well targeted and WILL reduce your $$$/click. You are just killing your earnings.

    I don't see the point of having traffic from people who don't want to visit your pages and even less click on your ads.
    What's the point? Increase Alexa rank? OK.... I don't work for my Alexa rank!

    they are a kind of traffic exchange, i don't know exactly because they contacted me yesterday so that I put their ad code on my site and after they will pay me.
    I replied that before anything they need to send me $3,000 to my paypal account and then we can talk further, they didn't want to do that, so that was the end of the discussion.
    I'm fed up of ad networks who contact potential publishers and then cannot offer incentive to them.. it says a lot about the quality of their ad network, that way I'm not wasting time on trying them for a while and then abandon them because they pay too little...

    click exchange program means that 2 people come together directly or via a service and click each other ads. A regular website visitor when goes to a website via 2leep/mgid it is not a click exchange. so absolutely legal to use.

    Google reduces earnings based on poorly targeted traffic? That's crazy. It makes sense though...

    I use targeted SEO traffic and I my CTR is over 20%. Poor traffic conversion, to me at least, is just as bad as having poor traffic.
