Traffic Exchange Industry Changes Imminent

The Traffic Exchange Industry has suffered a severe shock that is
rocking its very core. Can it survive? Will its survival be based on change?

Changes are taking place every day on the net. Some are good, some
not so good. It is up to you to put on your thinking cap and ask some
questions when you are not so sure where those changes are leading.

2004 Wild West Internet Goes Down In Flames

The year 2004 was supposed to signify the end of the wild west syn-
drome that plagued the net in general. What may really have
happened, is that owners and members alike found ways to
circumvent the rules.

When that sort of action prevails, the piper will be paid sooner or
later. The ‘later’ has been the limitation of sites and accounts
handled by the payment processor, PayPal.

You have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to have experienced the results.
Regardless of how long a business has been operating, they were not
saved from the ax.

There is a whole new demand on what is legal and what is illegal. The
position has been determined by Government working with the FTC,
SEC, IRS, and other agencies. The kicker came when the payment
processors were expected to pass on the results of the law as applied
to consumer protection.

Business vs Consumer

Business owner or members, you are the consumer. Once that message
is clearly understood, then comes how you are protected and there is
where the problems start.

PayPal became the ‘kill the messenger‘ victim twice – by heavy FTC
fines, the loss of income from Traffic Monsoon and from business
owners and members alike.

It became clear, rather rapidly, who understood and who did not
understand the consumer laws and business finance or how it
applied to the Traffic Exchange Industry.

Accountability – who shared it?

What also followed was the lack of accountability. Then again, some
of that ‘lack’ was twisted around to take the stress off leaders and
keep it solely on the shoulders of PayPal.

Uneducated members, who relied solely on owners to protect their
interests, got a very large shock. Once the business was limited, so
was the cash to pay commissions. Businesses cannot misuse member
fees paid when they are under lock. Bad rumors and more blame
games played.

In a good 99% of the cases, the owners were no more on top of their
business when it came to consumer laws than their members.

As one owner put it, GREED was the cause and the effect was a race
to the bottom by all and sundry.

So where is the Traffic Industry now? On a precarious ledge with a
10,000 foot fall if immediate changes are not taking place. If those
who thought they were a legal entity, do not begin immediate changes
to keep their business afloat.

If you, as a member, don’t stop the support ticket charges and forum
blasts of scam, crooked and misusers of your rightful commissions, then
your continued abuse – and it is abuse based on your ignorance of the
very laws designed to protect you will make the bottom faster than the
business you attack.

If ever there was a need for patience, it is now. If ever there was a need
for everyone, business owner or member, to come together and work out
these needed changes, it is now.
