HitsTrader essentials
Below are the most common questions about Traffic Transparency Score™, quality-approved credits, ad formats, and safety.
HitsTrader is a cooperative traffic exchange with Traffic Transparency Score™ built in, so members can measure verified traffic quality and not just raw hit volume.
It is designed for creators, affiliate marketers, and small businesses who want predictable, credit-based traffic exposure.
Recorded visits can become quality-approved credits after server-side validation completes. Approved credits can then be spent to show your ads to the network.
Promote your unique Co-Op URL in traffic sources that can deliver visible, trustworthy visits. Hits are recorded first, then quality-approved credits are finalized after Traffic Transparency Score™ validation. You can also review where others are promoting via
coop_public_stats.php.
HitsTrader supports affiliate links, splash pages, blogs and traffic offers for promotion, anything that will show in a frame that does not break the TOS of any TELand site. If in doubt, email Ian and ask via the
contact form.
Yes. The timer helps ensure fair viewing time, but final credits are still subject to server-side validation and quality checks.
Traffic Transparency Score™ is the HitsTrader validation system that reviews visibility, interaction, duplication, and trust signals so members can rely on better traffic quality.
Pending means the visit has been recorded, but HitsTrader is still finalizing quality checks before marking it Verified, Acceptable, Low Trust, or Rejected.
Hidden, duplicate, suspicious, or otherwise low-trust visits may be filtered out to protect members and keep final credits trustworthy.
Targeting options depend on membership level and available traffic pools, including co-op traffic options.
No. Traffic exchanges provide exposure, but conversions depend on your offer, landing page, and audience fit.
We use anti-fraud checks, co-op timer rules, duplicate detection, and Traffic Transparency Score™ validation to keep traffic fair and legitimate.
If enabled for your account, you can request credit buyback or withdrawal options subject to eligibility and review.
