Tradescript: Arrow Trader(AT)
Review by: Big Fish

Currently I am running four sites that use trade scripts. When I only had one site, I was using AWG Trade, but didn't much care for the admin section. I then switched to Arrow Trader Lite.

Arrow Trader Lite is written in C++ and claims to be very fast. I really can't test that, because my sites aren't big enough. It's very easy to install and the layout of the admin section is clean and simple. The installation and setup only consist of a few steps, that are very easy to follow. "All you need to run AT lite is a server that runs FreeBSD or Linux, a crontab, and a ftp + ssh client." I had no problems setting it up. The script doesn't require a MySQL database, which I think is a good thing. That's just one more variable that could cause problems.

The script does "take" the average 1% that most free trade scripts take. The only difference is that in the admin section, there is a place for you to see how many hits you are sending to their sites. Other than that, the script comes with all the features of a basic trade script, like multiple toplists, a blacklist, and controls for no-cookie traffic.

They have a support forum located here, but I never had to use it.

There is a demo located here.

Tradescript: CJ-Ultra(CJU)
Review by: Pvt Spanky

I am fairly new to traffic trading and installing scripts and working with databases in general.

I researched as many script I could find information on before deciding which one to use.

Someone mentioned on Netpond that the people who write the scripts generally write the scripts well, but, don't usually write clear and descriptive help/read me files. Usually, it's because they wrote the script, it all makes sense to them, and they may not understand how to write instructions for the newbie. This is something I noticed right away.

I first decided to go with CJUltra 2.1. The script does work. The instructions are a little easier to understand than others I looked into. But the problem I mainly ran into was MySQL errors/warnings.

Within the first day, errors started popping up. I was unsure if I caused a problem or if was on the server side. CJU does have a message board, but, it does seem kinda like a ghost town over there. But, you can search the forum and find answers to problems you have, that others have already experienced. Maybe because it's free, the programmer may just be tired of answering the same questions over and over again. But I never received replies to my questions. Anyway, My errors did clear up within an hour or so, but then days later, I started receiving error/warnings on all my pages. Finally, I was no longer to log into my admin panel because it said I was using the wrong password, which really freaked me out.

After searching the boards I noticed that there seems to be exploits in the CJU script, as well as TTT. I know that my problems didn't start happening until I opened my webmasters submit page. I'm not saying that my script was hacked, but it seems to be happening, not that this can't be fixed, I'm just not experienced enough in that area, and not in the position to deal with this kind of shennanigans. So, I deleted CJU and searched for something else.

I have recently completed my first 2 sites using a Tradescript and I will briefly outline my experiences.

Site 1 is a basic feeder site and I decided to go with CJULTRA v2.1. CJUltra is a basic tradescript and was extremely easy to setup. It requires a MySQL database and will build it's own structure within the database for you. WARNING CJUltra does not preface it's database table names (blacklist, day, lastupdate, links, settings, trade), so you will need to be careful if you are not using a dedicated database for this script.

CJultra is a great script although it lacks some of the power of other scripts. The documentation for the script is included in the zip file and is clearly explained. It lacks built in support for "no cookie" trades although there is a "hack" on their site that allows you to redirect the traffic.

Tradescript: ePower Trader(EPT)
Review by: Bare

I use ePower script on my first tgp, and TTT on my other tgps.

ePower trader is my absolute favorite. I've looked at many other scripts admin and they honestly seem to overcomplicate the whole process. ePower is pretty simple and straight forward.

Another good thing about ePower is the multiple main pages. ATM I have 3 different indexes, and am fixing to try a fourth. I can quickly spread traffic over the indexes and/or kill I page which is not doing well with prod.

Yet another good thing about them, no matter how many trades you have going, even the small trades are taken care of. Many times if I get lazy and don't check my tgps for a few days TTT will let a trade with low traffic but great prod die. ePower makes sure that everyone gets atleast 10 hits every 24 hours.

ePower is fast, simple, and takes care of itself.

Tradescript: Smart Traffic Trader(STT)
Review by: Pvt Spanky

Smarttraffictrader is what I'm currently using and I'm very pleased with the results. The documentation is clearly written, detailed
and precise. It is intuitive and very user friendly. I especially like the "events" & "warnings" sections that alert you to things that
have happened while you were away. Your options in which you can trade traffic are more varied than any other script I looked
into. So far I have not read anything about any exploits in the script (knock on wood!)

The only thing I can't seem to get to work with this script is it has a multisite statistics feature that I just can't seem to work out, which would really be nice since I have this script installed on three sites at the moment.

If all goes well, I will seriously consider purchasing the no skim 1 percent, full version of this script.

I am not trying to talk negatively about the other scripts. I know all these scripts are working for others to much success. This is
just my experience, and what's working for me. Hope this helps.

Review by: Slutlord

Site 2 is a CJ2 site for which I chose SmartTraffic Trader. It also requires a MySQL database and will also build it's structure upon installation. All of it's tables are preceded by stt- so using this database for multiple purposes is a no-brainer.

STT does not include the documentation within the zip file, so you are forced to go to their site for the information needed to install the script. The documentation itself is clear and concise. This script has built in "no cookie" handlers as well as built in cheat detection.

All in all both scripts are quite effective at what they do. I would reccomend STT if you want more control over your trades and would reccomend CJUltra as an excellent beginner script, or when you don't need all of the bells and whistles of STT. Both scripts skim 1% of your traffic and both offer a paid version of their scripts without a skim.

Tradescript: Total Traffic Trading System(TTT)
Review by: Pervy

Most people when starting out in the wonderful world of TGPs and Traffic Trading like to use a free script. When I started I tried several different free scripts, most of them were ok but none of the were quite what I wanted and several worked ok but then for one reason or another started to go wrong.

Then I decided to try TTT or more accurately the TTTS script (Total Traffic Trading System).

The script takes a small percentage of your traffic as payment for being otherwise free.

Its basically a stripped down version of Epowertrader which is a full commercial script (and which I have also used).

What I particularly like about it is you can link several copies of the script together and see the stats for multiple sites on one screen. By clicking on an individual site you get taken to the admin for that particular site. This feature alone is so useful that I wouldnt switch to a paid script unless it also had this feature. Of course if you only run one or two sites it may not be that useful but if like me you run dozens then its wonderful to see all the stats in one screen.

Apart from the multisite overview feature the script is much like any other. One difference is that Choker (who owns the script) also runs a database of trades called findtrades.com which is sometimes a good place to locate trades especially when you are first starting out. Findtrades has a blacklist feature which means you are not likely to pickup any real cheaters, TTTS can be configured to check the findtrades database so you can limit trades to only sites in the database or to not allow any site in their blacklist, another good way to keep bad trades out.

The script was easy to install, assuming you are not a complete newbie and even then the instructions are easy to follow.

Overall I would rate the script 8/10, with the multisite stats and ability to use findtrades.com pushing it upto 9.5/10

Hello All,

Have I got the BEST traffic trade script there is!

This is what it does, you signup you get 1000 free visits to your website right off the bat, you put a link on your website that Rotates every so often and earn more visitors by letting your customers view it for you, thus if you have 30 people viewing for an hour you get 3600 views in an hour.

Here's some more, you can refer Other Webmasters to it and Earn 500 more views for the referal plus 20% of their Website Views!

But here is the Best part! It's FREE!

This is a Great Post Ricardo. I was looking for this kind of information. Thanks.

[TGS]

Ricardo
I will send you in a couple of weeks a trade script that you will be able to test

It's built from ground up, nothing stolen from anyone.
Lots of neat features which others don't have.
We need beta testers to make sure the algorythms are HOT and that it can work with big sites (not crash at 20k or so)
