I like traffic exchanges. Not because I get a torrent of real traffic from them, but because I get some traffic and I get to learn what is going around. Recently I ran across a traffic exchange sizzle page for MoreActualVisitors which made it seem pretty special. I couldn't figure out why the visitors were Actual Visitors (lets not kind ourselves about traffic exchanges here) by readngthe FAQ so I emailed them asking what makes their program so special. The response I got was interesting because it typifies the defensiveness of marketers who really don't have a new idea but want you to think that they do. i am not saying its a bad program, but its apparently nothing more than a traffic exchange...
Here's my inquiry:

My answer:
Is it a traffic exchange or not? and what makes it
more special than the 40-50 other prominent exchanges?
I read you FAQ and there is nothing in there
that tells me this is anything more than a pitch
for a "pro" membership in a start page exchange.
I use and respect start-page exchanges as
a marketing method, but I don't see what makes
your "actual visitors" different from the visitors
received from any other manual exchange.
I was intrigued enough by your splash page
to inquire. If you have something better than
the usual, tell me why its better. I saw a promise
in the copy, but no unique proposition.
You have evaded my questions by implying I
don't have vision. Patently incorrect.
I have respect for your clever
packaging but I am (it is true) not seeing
what makes your program special.
As yet, no response. I guess that means that MoreActualVistitors is NothingMoreThanATrafficExchange
