TrafficShop

What TrafficShop Is

TrafficShop is an online advertising network that connects advertisers and publishers for buying and selling web and mobile traffic. The official website describes it as an international network with millions of ad impressions daily and thousands of clients worldwide. Its own blog mentions more than two decades of experience in the ad network industry.

Third-party directories provide additional context. AffPaying states that TrafficShop was established in 2008 and monetizes over 1 billion ad impressions monthly, with more than ten thousand clients. Partnerkin lists the launch year as unknown. The official site does not disclose a founding date, so the exact history remains ambiguous.

Offers & Verticals / Product & Features

TrafficShop supports four main ad formats: banners (IAB-certified sizes), popunders, skimmed traffic, and native ads, all available on mobile and desktop, per the official site. For advertisers, the platform offers global reach, deep targeting (geo, city, browser, language, frequency cap, IP ranges, day parting), S2S tracking, and a quality control system to filter fraud and bot traffic.

Third-party sources add detail. AffPaying lists a wide range of targeting options including device, OS, ISP, browser, IP, website, language, time, category, demographic, retargeting, black/white lists, frequency capping, and token support, and notes that the network handles adult and gambling ads. AllAffNetworks, while confusing TrafficShop with TrafficStars in places, mentions pre-integrated tracking systems such as Voluum, Cake, Tune, and Peerclick, and a quality selector. Partnerkin describes support channels including live chat, ticket system, email, Skype, and Telegram, and a referral program paying 10% of the network’s profit from referred clients.

Payments & Terms

Payment terms differ for publishers and advertisers. According to AffPaying, publishers earn on a CPM model with a $50 minimum payout, paid upon request via PayPal, Paxum, WebMoney, QIWI, Yandex.Money, Bank Wire Transfer, or Bitcoin. Advertisers can choose CPC or CPM pricing, with a minimum deposit of $100, and can pay via Paxum, WebMoney, PayPal, Credit Card, or Bank Wire Transfer.

Partnerkin adds that publisher payouts are processed within 72 hours of request, though not guaranteed on weekends or holidays, and are subject to a 1-3% surcharge. Different withdrawal methods carry their own fees. The official site only claims ‘fastest payouts’ without specifics.

Platform & Tracking

The platform is self-serve, allowing advertisers to create and optimize campaigns directly. The official site highlights easy S2S tracking for real-time performance monitoring. Partnerkin notes that sign-up is quick, with accounts active after email confirmation, and real-time stats are available. AffPaying lists anti-fraud measures and a personal account manager as available features.

AllAffNetworks, despite its confusion, mentions that the platform supports integration with popular tracking systems and offers a quality selector for different traffic levels. These details are not confirmed by the official site.

Reputation

Third-party reviews are sparse. AffPaying shows an average rating of 2.33 across quality, volume, platform, and support, based on three reviews, with one excellent and two terrible ratings. No detailed review text is provided in the source material. The low score suggests mixed or negative experiences.

Partnerkin provides a largely promotional overview, but does mention that payments are not guaranteed within the stated timeframe and that fees apply. It also includes an example of a payment proof, though no specifics are given. AllAffNetworks recommends the network for adult traffic but notes volumes ‘aren’t exactly huge,’ a claim not echoed elsewhere.

Who It Suits

TrafficShop appears best suited for advertisers and publishers in the adult vertical, as AffPaying lists adult as the top vertical and AllAffNetworks describes it as an adult network. The platform’s targeting options and multiple ad formats make it usable for mainstream campaigns as well, but the official site does not restrict itself to adult.

Those who require a large, established network with a strong reputation may want to look elsewhere, given the low ratings on AffPaying. Publishers may find the $50 minimum and fast payout claims appealing, but should account for processing fees and the fact that payouts are not guaranteed within 72 hours, as per Partnerkin.
