Not even 2 weeks accepted and I have been provided with the opportunity to review a website thanks to ReviewMe. If you would like to order a review, either contact me directly or order it through ReviewMe. Bid 4 Traffic is a relatively new site, and the objective is to sell link spots to help increase traffic to your website. Because this website is so young, there is currently no page rank. However, it is predicted to be either a 4 or a 5. If that happens, the amount of traffic will definitely increase, and so too will your exposure.

What Does It Do?

Bid For Traffic is similar to many other directory websites but it has a few different functions. To begin, you can host your link within the directory for a cost of $1. However, if you want to be placed at the top of your category, you must outbid the other link submissions. It is a very neat and effective way to generate traffic and buzz as the idea is unique and breaks up the monotony of the other link submission sites.

Another unique function is the ability to be featured on the front page. Here is an excerpt from their About page:

Bid4traffic is an easy way to bid on links. Our link directory displays links in categories, and lets you bid your way to the top of the list. With a starting bid of $1, you are guaranteed a spot in our directory!

Increase your bid to take a top position on your website’s category, and not only will your link list higher in the directory, but you could join our Top 10 Link Leaders on the homepage and get massive exposure.

As you read, if you are listed as one of the Top 10 Links you will be featured on the homepage and you can effectively maximize your exposure.

Currently, the top link bid is set at $36. A pretty cheap price to be featured as the top link on a webpage that is gaining exposure exponentially.

Why Pay For A Link?

There are many benefits to increase your link exposure, and mainly it is to become known in as many places as possible. If you check out Bid4Traffic’s Features page, they list a few advantages as to why you should join their program:

Constantly Promoted
To make these links the most valuable possible, every dollar earned on bid4traffic.com is invested in getting more traffic and better rankings.

Good Ranks
Better rankings like Google pagerank, SEO MOZ Pagestrength, Alexa rankings, will provide better link juice to your website.

Good Content
By allowing to download and use free phplinkbid templates on other bidding directories, webmasters will keep visiting bid4traffic.com to increase rankings.

I’m not sure if all of the money is in fact re-invested into the company, but if that is the case it will be extremely beneficial to helping the company grow and increase their chances of obtaining new members.

What Are The Rules?

There are a list of policies that you can read here, but I will highlight a few of them.

Links are listed permanently in the directory, but position is determined by bids.

Links can be removed at any time for violating policies.

No illegal or adult site links will be allowed.

Bids are non-refundable.

It is pretty self explanatory and seems like a very easy system to use and join. Honestly, as I write more about Bid4Traffic, I am leaning further towards joining.

What Types Of Sites Can Join?

You can check out the list of directories, but here are a few of the most popular ones. Ironically, Directories has 16 submissions, Automotive has 8, Web Development, Blogs, and Games all have 5 submissions. Here is a more detailed picture of the layout.

How Easy To Use Is Bid4Traffic?

I would say that navigation and use of bid for traffic is extremely easy and the overall functionality of the site is great. The layout is sleek yet professional, easy on your eyes, and everything you need to know or find is right there in front of you.

Is There Anything Else?

That’s not all. If you are interested in creating a directory site of your own, bid for traffic makes that very easy. They provide phplinkbid templates for you to download for free.

They also offer blue and red templates, but I cropped them out of the image.

As explained earlier, these provide a great way for traffic retention as people who are interested in creating their own directory sites can download and use these templates for free.

Overall

All in all, bid for traffic has an effective layout, is a great business idea, and is extremely easy to use.

At the price of $1 for a link, it is an extremely low cost way to generate some extra traffic to your website.
