What do you think of Traffic Swarm?

To me for all I know using Traffic Swarm is against Adsense rules and regulation. So using it might get your account getting banned. However, what I'm interested is that why are there people who continue using it despite it being illegal. Have others found some other way to utilize it and what is it good for.

Even i think that would be illegal. And thats stated in adsense TOS that using any autosurfs or any artificial traffic sources is not allowed.

May be people use it with some other programmes or any other CPM adds so that they get unlimited number of impressions. I used to use it earlier when i used blogcharm hich paid for traffic or number of hits.

I don't think so. Some people already do that many times and always get traffic from this site. I also earn well from them for traffic. But i believe no one of them will click my ads. Hoho..

If you want impression, traffic swarm really a right place.

Yup, it definitely illegal according to Adsense TOS. I think those bunch of people using it are definitely not using adsense or either way, they haven't go t an adsense account yet. They are using it to jumpstart their website and get a decent rating before going to PPC. I think that would make sense right?

Those people that basically use it together with their Adsense is definitely doing something against their TOS. It's just plain ignorant knowing that they don't allow it. Unless you are not subscribed to Adsense, then using Traffic Swarm is your choice where nobody will stop you from using it.

People will always use these things to get one over on a company, the problem being they are always caught and pleed stupidity. You will find a number of people use software and sites like this with full knowledge its against the rules but they still do it... why?

Because they are annoyed that it took them months to get Adsense from google (took me 2 months to get a account for it) and they get annoyed that their click rate is pants (mines only 0.2%) so these boost their traffic giving them more chance of getting more clicks.

cant blame them for trying

I know about that and its hard actually to get paid from adsense unless you did some trick and adsense not found that method. many people use blackhat to earn fast from adsense. I know some of them. But i'm not apply yet. Its because i don't want harm my account yet. I just fine with my current earning now..
