TrafficGun isn't about SEO/links. Its about gaining real, live visitors.
Happy to answer any questions.
'highly un-targeted' is the keyword in your comment. With TrafficGun, there's no spamming ppl with unwanted requests. Every user on the platform is amenable to cross-promotion.
As for PayPerPost, SponsoredReviews etc - our focus is primarily on cross-promotions b/w bloggers who vet each other.
Finally, re:Google - We encourage all users on our platform to nofollow all links. TrafficGun isn't about SEO/links. Its about gaining real, live visitors.
When I added my GA account it pulled all of the websites under one specific GA account, I'm assuming the one that has somehow been marked as the default. Within GA I have multiple accounts, but they're all under my one google apps account. I'm unable to see (and thus add) any website that's not grouped within this account.
For example, pretend within GA I have the following groupings:
Personal Work Customer 1 Customer 2
Each one of these 'sub accounts' within GA contains the websites I've associated with it. With TrafficGun, it only see's the websites under 'Personal' and not Work, Customer 1 or Customer 2.
pls ping me at help@trafficgun.com with your username - and I'll be happy to take a look at your account :)
Can you explain?
Webrings! Everyone wins. No sarcasm.
Not to poo-poo on what seems to be an honest effort with TrafficGun, though. I don't know if the sharing spirit of website owners is the same as it was back then, but it would be nice.
Twitter, tumblr, pinterest, instagram ... They all have a number of indirect ways of this.
And as someone who has had to do icky marketing on these platforms, doing that process is the best way to grow.
To this end, we strongly encourage all users on our platform to nofollow all links.
I don't follow how nofollow makes it not a link web ring?
No sarcasm, I used webrings in 1996 to great effect. Not for SEO. For real live visitors.
On a niche-by-niche basis, yes. For instance, I keep a list of personal finance blogs that I check out regularly. When one of those blogs features a personal finance site I haven't seen before, I check that out as well and consider adding it to my list.
One of the best ways to grow your blog traffic long-term is getting other bloggers in your niche to write about you. TrafficGun makes this easy.

How does this happen? I'm guessing it would involve payments, is that so?
But yes, cross-promotions work great for growing traffic long-term. See this comment - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9459902
What's the incentive for a popular blog to link to less popular or newer blogs?
Also, it's actually not about exchanging links - in fact, we strongly encourage all users on our platform to nofollow the links. This is about teling your readers "Hey! There's this interesting blog you should check out" - and getting the same in return.
