Is this an MLM scam or legit?

    The alexa traffic to this service seems like people are going to it but the claims of a million real people sounds fishy but might be probably as the alexa is probably over one million uniques a month to this website. The structure seems like an MLM scam but I was curious to know if anyone had any experience with this service:

    its a scam.

    there is no way that site gets a million visitors a month, check out the alexa comparison between my site and theirs.

    http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?&w=4...&r=3m&u=1millionfreehit.com&&u=seoforums.org&

    I can guarantee, that site gets visitors in the thousands to tens of thousands per month at most. certainly not in the hundreds of thousands, and nowhere close to the millions per month figure you mention.

    Yeah - They claim 1.8 million unique hits per month on their site. If they are referring to unique visitors, they are just not telling the whole truth.

    Here's their Alexa:
    http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/1millionfreehit.com#

    They'd be ranked in the top 10k sites (and likely considerably higher) if that were the case.

    Quantcast doesn't even have enough data to quantify:
    http://www.quantcast.com/1millionfreehit.com

    and according to compete, they get around 4,000 uniques right about now:

    Moral of the story:
    Don't believe the hype

    agreed, clearly a scam. Anyone claiming that many hits a month is either using some sort of illegal method or outright lying (usually the second one).

    definately a scam, stay away from it - it can only do your site damage.
