Trade Script Comparison?

[starscream]

Is there anywhere that reviews and compares the Traffic Trading scripts out there? Seems like there are 4-5 good ones but I'd like to know the difference other than price.

[jez_kewler]

hmmm..I am look for just that...

TM3, ATX, UCJ ?

currently I run with that free TTT, but I feel it sucks because it doesnt support multiple domains (as ATX promises...)

Anyone with an idea for a good comparison? what shall I really take care of?

thanks,jez

There's so many options that it's really hard for anybody to make a comparison of the scripts.

http://tgpsoftware.com - TM3 features

http://ucj.com - UCJ features

http://arrowscripts.com - ATX features

btw, jez_kewler... If you don't like TTT because it doesn't support multiple domains, why not just install additional copies on those domains? It's free so it wouldn't cost anything to do that..

dont forget epower, that is an awsome script

[Incognito]

I don't know anything about epower or atx but I do know ucj and tm3 are generally the most popular and trusted scripts. The main difference between those two is one gives you much more control(tm3) and the other doesn't need to be babysat(ucj). It's pretty much your preference after that but each script is fully capable of growing and maintaining a large tgp.

Well, I don´t consider myself a traffic trade expert at all, but over the years there is one thing I have learned about these kind of scripts: All come with a lot of wistles and bells, some might be better than other ones, and all have some pros and cons.

But what really counts in the end is that you feel comfortable using a particular script. You might have a top notch script, but if you don´t feel comfortable working with it, you will have a hard time growing a site.

And as to the original question of this thread asking for comparisons: I have gone thru quite a few of them, but most of them were made by people who were offering their own trade script. And comparissons like that almost always tend to be biassed imho

Some people just wont ever learn that a very powerful script is not only the one with the biggest price tag. ;)

HI folks,

thanks for this amazing feedback - I didn't expect that many answers so soon... I think I start loving this board...

@Cruk: I installed TTT on another domain ... and what I can tell, it seems to work....

I think the major problem I currently have with TTT is that I might not yet have utilitzed it for trades anyhow as I am quite a rookie in the XXX area and esp the traffic trading is a completely new area to me. Until now I used to get traffic to my affil site via search engines and strong PR linkage....

but anyhow - so far I configured several trades, sent out hundreds of uniques already - but it looks (According to the script TTT and the hitbot-log) that none of the jerks returned any visitors...

maybe the problem is not the script, but the partners?

to get some more traffic I also bought some traffic from chicken at the choker-traffic site (CTTS) ... (is this "feeder traffic" ?)

Thanks for your feedback anyhow...

Ricardo has started a review page here - there are only 5 scripts on it atm though

[jez_kewler]

ok - thanks for that link,

but what I really need is a side-by-side feature comparison... unbiased of course :-) and those 2-3 reviews of ricardos site don't really make it...

any clue?
did no one so far put up such a comparison?

[garett]

If you're completely new to traffic trading then you're probably best sticking with a free script for now.

If you can get your site up to 20k with a free script and feel that you've got a pretty good idea of what you're doing. You've got 30-50 trades and you feel like you can manage them well then you might consider investing in a paid script to take your site to the next level.

With that said there's nothing wrong with seeing what different scripts have to offer. It's hard to come across reviews of different scripts .. probably because few people have purchased licenses for each popular script out there and then took the time to write a review of them.

I recommend ATX. I use it on both my TGPs and am planning on using it exclusively in the future .. unless I somehow manage to win a free copy of UCJ .. then I'd like to try it out ;)

[Doc911]

I've tried CJUltra and TTT both free.

I liked the CJUltra best out of the two.

I just won a copy of UCJ so I'll be getting that installed ASAP.

[rogerbo]

Epowertrader is a realy great and powerfull script and i think you don't get a better one for that price.

I had CJUltra, TTT and now EPT and soon UCJ :D
BUt one point which is most important and what no script can do is YOU, how you do trade and how you'r Prod is on your site.
You can have the best script but if you fail to use it right then it's useless.

[jez_kewler]

Hey Doc911,

congratulations on your win...
please let me know how it compares...

I wonder if I should start a trader-script evaluation matrix - would you try to fill that out?

thx,j

I've run most of these and like TM3 the best.

I would go with UCJ or TM3. Nobody will say one is better then the other.

Personal:


TTT great for free script

Epower--->cheap and also good when your host knows how to work with mysql, good cheat protection

UCJ-->Admin area layout good be confusing for new people, but once you used to it, it rocks. Cheat detection in older versions is not very good tho(don't know for newer versions)

ATX--->only heard people praise it. Not cheap, I would only advice it when you have the traffic(so for a 4K TGP I would not advice it, go for cheaper one then)

TM3--->never used it

Atoscripts.com,atotrade, nice trade script. 300USD for 10 domains, and ONE admin...Good cheat protection as well(also MYSQL)

TTT mysql version is really good script but TTT C is a big mistake...
After several hours spend on learning how to use UCJ I really like it. I can set everything and forget about it, and nothings change. This is very important for me, because I was affected few times in the past when something happen with one of my biggest trader. With ucj my site is more stable. Changes aren’t bigger than +-5% when I don’t do anything. At the end I’m the winner because my site slowly grow :)

hi all,

Its a pitty that everybody overlooked the CJSmart script. I use it on 3 of my domaines and bought them when I was short on money as its cheaper than UCJ and others.

I am speaking purely of helping out those that are looking for a good reliable script with many great features and a very good support from the programmer. On top the script is a great booster for those that look for high traffic.

Spend 5 minutes and check out the features here:

if you have any questions pls. ask me:)

sorry for the repetition, the system was really slow so I guess 2 copies slipped out.

Can anybody remove those?

[jez_kewler]

hey folks... this gets more and more interesting...

I wonder when I find the time to read all those cool resources... really interesting... !

big thanks !:D

AWGtrade will do almost ANYTHING that any expensive script will if you know what you are doing.

[jez_kewler]

Speaking of "know what I am doing"...

today I found out that I setup TTT, but forgot the include to TTT-IN in the templates..

well

since I used the htaccess directive

AddType application/x-httpd-php .shtml .html .htm

to make the htmls parses PHP (where I write some nice stats with each visitor) I could not use the include as specified

<!--#include virtual='/cgi-bin/ttt-in' -->

and simply use

<?php include ('http://www.thumbscrazy.com/cgi-bin/ttt-in'); ?>

is this equal or COULD this be the reason, that still no incoming trades are displayed in TTT

(answer should be NO, because since this change I see a lot of "Bookmark"-visitors... those were not visible before (they all were "nocookie"-visitors... )

thanks,jez

EPT is great value for the money, its cheap and has good anti cheat features, trades by groups multiple index/exits for each trade.

ATX Is probably the best script I have tried, awesome.
still havent touched the new UCJ versions though, used it once in the old days. was it version 1 or 2?
Was far better than the only "free" one called cjpro those days:)

yes maybe
but if you really want to babysit your script you might aswell go with serverlogs and hardlinks :D

If you want a suit that really fits you must go to a tailor. If you want a perfect trading script you must write your own or have someone else do it for you. I use AWGtrade and it works well. In the future, I will probably end up writing my own trading script. Now I call an out.php script that in turn calls AWGtrade's out.cgi. I could easily write a trade script into my out.php, which is what I probably will do.

Premade scripts are great for ease of use, but they are bloated. I have less than 100 lines of PHP that pretty much does everything that CT's "prod booster technology" does. The majority of what these scripts are about is providing a front end to some really simple functions. I can serve my purposes much easier and cheaper by writing my own.
