Traffic Shout provides no information on its website about who owns or runs teh business.

Traffic Shout’s website domain (“trafficshout.com”) was privately registered registered in April 2019.

A PO Box address in Seychelles is provided on Traffic Shout’s website, which is meaningless for obvious reasons.

At the time of publication Alexa estimate Bangladesh is the only significant source of traffic to Traffic Shout’s website (64%).

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Traffic Shout’s Products

Traffic Shout has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Traffic Shout affiliate membership itself.

Traffic Shout’s Compensation Plan

Traffic Shout affiliates purchase positions in what appears to be a six tier 4×7 matrix scheme.

  • Bronze – $30
  • Silver – $110
  • Gold – $550
  • Diamond – $1100
  • Platinum – $2750
  • Elite – $5500

A 4×7 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with four positions directly under them:

These seven positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these four positions into another four positions each (16 positions).

Levels three to seven of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each new level housing four times as many positions as the previous level.

Positions in the matrix are filled when new and existing Traffic Shout affiliate purchase positions (as per the tier prices above).

Commissions are paid out as a percentage of position purchases across all six matrix tiers as follows:

  • level 1 – 5%
  • levels 2 and 3 – 4%
  • levels 4 to 7 – 3%

Traffic Shout pays a 25% referral commission on matrix positions by personally recruited affiliates.

Matching Bonus

  • Platinum – $2750
  • Elite – $5500

Conclusion

Bundled in “you’re paying for advertising” pseudo-compliance, Traffic Shout is a simple enough pyramid scheme.

You sign up, pay a fee and get paid to recruit others who do the same.

There are six tiers of payment for you to steal money through. And the whole thing collapses when recruitment inevitably slows down.

I also found evidence that as of late 2019 at least, Traffic Shout was operating as a cryptocurrency faucet:

Basically you sign up, do some bullshit pointless task and receive a tiny amount of crypto.

In this case it’s Zorix, some pointless shitcoin that doesn’t appear to exist outside of Traffic Shout.

With that having already collapsed, now we have the matrix pyramid scheme.

Once what’s left of Traffic Shout’s gullible investors are milked dry, kaboom.
