TrafficShop

What the company is

TrafficShop is an advertising network and traffic broker with a publisher program for site owners. Its publisher page invites an owner of web or mobile inventory to start selling traffic, promising that it hand-picks advertisers and puts each campaign through approval. The home page offers banners in IAB sizes, a cross-browser popunder script, skimmed traffic and native ads that sit inside a site's content on mobile and desktop. The footer dates the service from 2008, and a news post from 2019 introduced native ads with a guide on their rise on adult sites.

The company identity is thin on the pages. The terms describe the operator as a private limited company but leave its name, registered number and address blank. The contact page gives a cardholder correspondence address at 79 Spyrou Kyprianou, Limassol, Cyprus, and the footer names CommerceGate as payment facilitator, with a billing support page calling it the authorized sales agent for billing support.

What it sells a site operator

The publisher page lists the tools. A site owner can send traffic from any country, set minimum rates and backup URLs or tags for its placements, and pull reports from the dashboard or through an API, with a referral program on top. The terms classify each submitted site by content type: a site with no thumbnails or other content counts as text, a mix of pictures and movies counts as movie, and a mix of movie and tube content counts as tube. That vocabulary, and the seller rules below, show a program built around adult tube, gallery, thumbnail and text sites.

Rates are not printed. The publisher page calls its CPM rates competitive and offers special CPM deals for premium traffic. The terms say payments accrue regularly, though not in real time, based on TrafficShop's measurements and the factors set out on the Service, and that rates "are subject to change and may vary due to various reasons, including special and limited promotional offers and market factors."

Measurement belongs to the network. The seller's supplement says TrafficShop measures traffic and impressions with its own methods, need not use client-side software, third-party counters or trade scripts, and treats every measurement as final; a seller who disputes one can only stop sending traffic and request a payout. Traffic that cannot be attributed with reasonable certainty, for example where a selling method is set up wrongly, is not counted. Reports are updated regularly but not promised in real time, and traffic can be recalculated after fraud or technical errors are found.

The seller rules

The seller's supplement adds conditions to the general terms. Traffic from another broker needs written approval in each case. On a site built mainly for hosting galleries, at least 50% of gallery clicks must reach galleries on that site; on a thumb-preview site, no more than 20% of thumbs may lead to traffic brokers; on a text site, no more than 20% of gallery links may. A site may not auto-bookmark, auto-refresh or change a user's homepage, and may not send 404 traffic, traffic through fake video players, traffic from gallery thumbnails or traffic through iframes. Required or rewarded clicks, framed destinations, spawned browsers, spiders and auto-redirects are all banned, and TrafficShop may stop buying from a site whose traffic quality it judges insufficient.

The general terms set the content line. TrafficShop accepts or rejects each submitted property at its sole discretion and can drop one later, with or without notice. A publisher must keep written documentation satisfying 18 U.S.C. 2257 for everyone shown on its sites, whether or not US law applies to it. Sites may not contain material depicting or suggesting anyone under 18, under a stated zero-tolerance policy, and may not carry warez, torrents, stolen scripts, malware, pop-ups not started by a click, or content targeted at minors. A site may not be on a free web host other than a free blog host, must carry real content rather than blind links, and must follow the EU cookie consent rules where they apply.

Payouts and fees

Payouts are on request. The FAQ read in October 2026 sets a minimum of $50, matching the $50 US "Payment Floor" in the terms, and names Paxum, PayPal, Webmoney and bank wire as payout options, with USDT added in September 2020 according to the news page. Some methods are not available in every area or need pre-authorization, and PayPal needs approval from the monitoring department. Paxum, PayPal and Webmoney payouts are processed within 72 business hours after approval, and bank wire and USDT within 5 business days. The terms say TrafficShop aims to process a request within 72 hours on a business day without guaranteeing it, and set a surcharge of 1-3% on all payouts depending on the method.

Several clauses can hold money back. TrafficShop may refuse a payout or place a hold on suspicion of a breach, which the publisher may dispute. Money later found to be earned in breach is set off against the account, or invoiced for payment within 30 days if the account is empty. Tax documents may be required at sign-up or before a payout, earnings can be withheld until they arrive, and failure to send them within 60 days can lead to suspension or termination with accrued payments forfeited. An account that earns less than the Payment Floor in any 6-month period, or one that is terminated, may be charged a maintenance fee of up to the Payment Floor for each such period. The seller carries its own tax, bank and currency costs.

Rights, changes and disputes

The terms say TrafficShop may remove content it has reason to believe infringes intellectual property and may end a user's access for submitting it, and they require a publisher to report at once any complaint, cease and desist letter or investigation tied to its use of the service. No page sets out a DMCA notice procedure. The terms and privacy policy change by posting, with continued use counting as acceptance, and disputes fall under an arbitration clause with a jury trial waiver. The referral supplement bars opening a second account through one's own referral link.

Getting started and support

Signing up takes 3 steps on the publisher page: create an account, submit the domain for approval, then place the code or link and start earning. The support page says live chat and ICQ run from 8:00 to 16:00 CET on business days, with email or tickets at weekends; English tickets are processed within 24 hours and other languages within 48 to 72 hours. All publishers get technical support and VIP publishers a personal support manager, and the pages name a publisher manager reachable by Telegram and email.

Company and track record

The home page claims thousands of clients and millions of ad impressions a day, and a blog post says the team has worked with traffic for more than two decades. The news page shows TrafficShop booked a booth at TES 2018 in Prague and added server-to-server tracking, a direct campaign feature and native ads in 2019.

Who it suits

The site-operator side of TrafficShop is the seller program: an adult tube, gallery, thumbnail or text site selling traffic and impressions on CPM through banners, popunders, native and skimmed formats. The same network sells that inventory to advertisers who buy adult traffic with geo, browser, language and day-parting targeting and S2S tracking.

It suits an established adult site with clean, original traffic that can live within the gallery and thumb ratios and wants payouts on request through e-wallets or wire. The caveats are unpublished rates, a payout surcharge, final measurements set by the network, an inactivity maintenance fee and an operator whose legal name the pages do not give. The strength is a detailed written seller rulebook, a low payout floor and support hours that are stated up front.
