Traffic Equalizer
February 8th, 2008Let’s talk about the Traffic Equalizer program. This is the program my dear subscriber used to create extra pages for his site map. In case you don’t know what Traffic Equalizer is, let me briefly tell you. It is a program that quickly generates hundreds or thousands of pages designed to rank well on search engines for huge lists of keyword phrases. You’ve probably seen this pages before…they have an ad on top and then listings that appear to be like a directory or a search engine.
Here’s an example — I make a big list of keywords related to doll making. Let’s say I have keywords like “easy doll making”, “porcelain doll making” etc etc. I plunk them into Traffic Equalizer and the software crawls search engine data to produce the top results for that keyword. It then lists those sites and inserts your site at the top…and voila! It creates pages, theoretically designed to rank well for search engines. If you click the “Traffic Equalizer Page screenshot” you can see a screenshot below.
So, let’s be serious…is this good content? Or does it cause you to question what Google writes in it’s guidelines?:
“Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you’d feel comfortable explaining what you’ve done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, “Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn’t exist?”
Now, don’t get me wrong..I am not placing judgment and I’ll let you in on a secret — Traffic Equalizer IS in my software library. I also know that Google rules are not law and I cannot go to jail for breaking them. But I do know you can be dropped from their index, which brings us back to my advice about not doing the crime if you can’t do the time. If you employ tactics like this, you have to expect that things may eventually come to an end for you. 
So, don’t put stuff like this on your life’s work — i.e. your main website that you NEED to stay listed on search engines.
But here’s a few tips for working with Traffic Equalizer —>
1. Always, always put Traffic Equalizer pages on a separate domain, on a separate IP, on a separate server. Keep it as far away from your “most precious” website as possible.
2. Traffic Equalizer provides you with a very basic (and ugly-looking) template. I didn’t believe it at first, but my research today seems to confirm that if you use that original template — your pages and possibly your whole website will be dropped from Google’s index. Create a new template, with graphics, different colors and add a bit of content…don’t make it this plain, highly-recognizable pages.
3. Search and ask questions at the Traffic Equalizer support forum…for product owners only. You’ll find people who have been banned from search engines, but look for people who are getting tons of traffic from Traffic Equalizer and find out what they say about how to use the program.

“Traffic Equalizer” (software)
If you want to succeed on the Internet you web traffic. You don’t necessarily need a lot of traffic. But you need targeted traffic. That is, visitors who belong to your target market and are likely to become your customers or referrals.
As you probably know, the search engines is one of the most effective and targeted ways to get more quality traffic.
But just how do you do it?
If you surf around on the Internet, or if you make a search on one of the search engines, you’ll find a lot of answers to that question.
Some of the methods you’ll read about are rather difficult and complicated to apply. Other methods – including several software programs – promise to get you more traffic from the search engines, just by making a few clicks.
Unfortunately, many of the methods and products promising to give you more traffic, are hyped, and they’re produced by people who’re either ignorant or are simply scrupulous and more interested in getting your money than helping you to get more traffic.
When I got this software program by Jeff Alderson, it immediately caught my attention. If you’re read my review of his other software product, AdWord Analyzer, you’ll also know that I really like that product. Besides, when I bought AdWord Analyzer Jeff Alderson gave me an excellent service and really seems to go out of his way to serve his customers.
But, what about Traffic Equalizer - is it any good?
Easy to install
Traffic Equalizer is really easy to install.
I know that most software programs are easy to install, but sometimes I’ve had some really bad experiences with installing other software programs. They cause your computer to crash, or they don’t work correctly after you’ve installed them.
However, Traffic Equalizer was really easy to install. I didn’t run into any problems during the installation process.
Easy to use
In order to run Traffic Equalizer you just need to fill in a few fields in the software. Then you click on the Ok-button, and you’re practically up and running.
When you click on the Ok-button, Traffic Equalizer generates a number of html-pages with special search engine “friendly” content.
It’s important to emphasize that these pages are neither the traditional doorway pages nor the so-called Smart Pages. The pages generated by Traffic Equalizer have their own, unique set up.
I can’t reveal more of the exact details about how Traffic Equalizer works, but Traffic Equalizer really is a very easy program to use.
One really great feature in Traffic Equalizer, are the small pop-up boxes that belongs to each field in the program display. For example, if you wonder about what to fill in in one of the fields, just move your mouse to the question mark about that particular field, and you’ll immediately see one of the small pop-up boxes I’m talking about.
Helpful and straightforward user manual
One thing that really annoys me about many software products is that the enclosed help manual is so difficult to read and use. Either they’re too short and superficial, or they’re too long and difficult to read.
The help manual (user manual, instruction manual or whatever you prefer to call it) is short and right to the point. It’s only 10 pages long, so you aren’t scared away by it.
Can it really make my web pages rank higher on the search engines?
This is of course the most important question that you’re probably wondering about.
Jeff Alderson goes as far as actually promising that Traffic Equalizer will help you to get higher rankings on the search engines.
But is he right?
The answer is: Yes, probably!
Based on my own experience and knowledge about the way the search engines work, I think that it’s a safe bet that the pages generated by Traffic Equalizer will help you to get better rankings on the search engines – especially if you also do everything you can to optimise your pages, such as optimising your keywords, title tags, meta tags, adding articles, internal and external links etc.
Another question is of course whether your web pages will be penalized by the search engines if you use Traffic Equalizer.
Based, again, on my own experience with and knowledge about the search engines, I think the answer is: No, but there are no absolute guarantees.
So far as I can see, there’s nothing in the pages generated by Traffic Equalizer, that’ll cause your web pages to be banned by the search engines. The pages generated by Traffic Equalizer could as well be handmade by an active web master. It’ll just be a lot more work.
Therefore, my estimate is that it’s pretty safe to use Traffic Equalizer. But again, there are no guarantees here. Sometimes the search engines will even penalize web pages where no “tricks” of any kind have been used.
Overall assessment
Jeff Alderson’s Traffic Equalizer is a really useful tool that can give your web site a lot more web traffic from the search engines.
Traffic Equalizer is easy to install, easy to use and you can put it into action almost immediately.
The most question is of course whether Traffic Equalizer will actually help you to get better rankings on the search engines or not. As I said above, the best answer I can give, based on my own experience and knowledge, is: Yes, probably.
So, my final conclusion is that Traffic Equalizer is a really useful piece of software that you can use in many contexts. For example, you can use it to get your affiliate mini-sites to rank higher on the search engines. Thus, you’ll be able to much more quickly launch a great number of affiliate mini-sites that get a lot of traffic from the search engines.

Traffic Equalizer is a hot tool that many site developers use to massively increase traffic to their site and thus put them on a level playing field with the big boys. TR boasts that they drive highly targeted buyers to your site.
In a nutshell, you import a list of keywords, you fill in a few form fields, and the program automatically creates optimized pages. They claim it’s very search-engine friendly. It is a program that quickly generates hundreds or thousands of pages that are specially designed to rank well on search engines for huge lists of keyword phrases. You’ve probably seen these types of pages before. They feature an ad on top and then there are listings that look like a directory or a search engine.
All you have to do is make a list of keywords, type them into Traffic Equalizer and the software crawls search engine data to bring back the top results for that keyword. Then it lists those sites and inserts your site at the top…and voila! It creates pages that are supposedly designed to rank well for search engines.
The thing is, some of the pages it produces can look a bit clunky, like this:
Using Traffic Equalizer
You should always put Traffic Equalizer pages on a separate domain, on a separate IP, even on a separate server. Keep it as far away from your website as possible. More on why later.
Traffic Equalizer provides a template that’s…well, not great-looking. And here’s the thing: many users are saying that when they use that original template, unmodified, their pages and in some cases their entire website are getting dropped from Google’s index. The work-around here is for you to create a new template, with your own graphics. Change the colors and add some of your own new text. You want to change this from being easily recognizable to Google.
Traffic Equalizer runs a support forum…for product owners. So if you get TE, be sure you take full advantage of it to get tips and such. Mind you, in those forums you’ll see posts from users who’ve gotten banned from search engines. What you want to do is look for people who are getting tons of traffic from Traffic Equalizer and find out their secrets.
There are also some helpful sites, such as http://www.webtrafficstrategies.net/cb_templates which offer different templates for TE.
Traffic Equalizer will do all the work FOR you!
In a nutshell…
1. You import a list of keywords
2. You fill in a few form fields
3. The program automatically creates optimized pages
And before you ask, NO, these are definitely NOT “doorway” pages.
Doorway pages offer no real content and usually redirect visitors to another web page using Javascript, Flash, or other deceptive techniques.
Traffic Equalizer is a highly sophisticated yet simplistic system. Yes, there are optimized keyword pages involved, but they are search engine friendly, content-rich pages!
They merely act as the overall mechanism which ultimately fuels the traffic. And what really matters is HOW these optimized pages fuel the traffic (sorry, that’s the one thing I can’t reveal to you).
What I CAN tell you is this… with Traffic Equalizer, you’ll easily gain MORE unique and specifically targeted viewers than you could possibly imagine!
How do I know that? I’ve personally tested it with all sorts of websites and diversified products. And just to make certain the results weren’t inflated or unrealistic, I deliberately conducted the tests with a half-hearted, “lazy” kind of attitude.
I figured it this way…
If Traffic Equalizer could produce incredible traffic results IN SPITE of someone barely making an effort, there was no limit to what might ultimately be achieved!

It’s a software that creates thousands of pages for your website and makes more of your pages indexed by Google.
But the question is, could i get banned by google?
__________________

So the more pages get indexed, the traffic you get. That’s what i’m after.
The question is, could I get banned by Google?

It makes spam sites.
Would you want to make sites that have no real content ?

Creates Pages, or Steals Content? Depends on how you look at it, I suppose.
__________________
Its a screen scapper, it just generates pages of SE results
yes it can get your site banned, but there are people who make money by doing it , the just make like 20 sites a day or something
I wouldn’t advise putting it on a site that you are attached to
__________________
According to the TE website, the software creates pages by listing other sites on its pages based on keywords like a directory or something.
It claims to boost up your traffic fast because the software can create thousands of those pages.
What’s confusing me is, if websites with TE get banned by search engines, how do the sites get as much traffic as it is claimed?
__________________

You mean make money with google adsense on the TE site?
__________________
yes
sometimes to its possible to get quite few visitors before the site is banned
maybe you can add 10 or 20 pages of traffic equalizer stuff and not get banned
but if you create like 500 pages of scraped content its likely to get banned

Is it possible to use TE to create the pages, but just use a few of them? Could you add content to some of the pages, and use them?
And do you have to know html, so you can add your google code to the pages, or does it add it for you?
__________________
ahh so it just create a lot of junk pages. No i guess if you have something on them Adsense would not mind but Google serach would.

I’m not sure how you add the code. But I know that the code can be added as I personally asked the owner of the script.
__________________
Never used TE myself, but the theory is that you create a template that the software uses and then it scrapes search results to populate the page.
If you don’t know html then forget it.
The idea is that you generate 1000’s of pages on very very specific keywords which in turn will drive large amounts of traffic to your sites.
My advise:
If you don’t know what you’re doing, then don’t touch autogenerated pages.
TE type stuff is normally put on throw away domains - never put it any where near your treasured sites.
And imho DP isn’t really a suitable place to be discussing this type of site - at least not when it comes to actually creating them.

Search engine matter aside, ask yourself how do you like to be fooled by pages like those?
Sites with those kinda content anger me. They sucks, waste my time and are nothing but junks. Please, the net is already full of craps. Please don’t add some more …
