I have recently purchased the Miracle Traffic Bot in the hope that it would help me to reduce the time I spend on link building. To be honest I was completely disappointed.
The reason I bought Miracle Traffic Bot in the first place was because it offered me an opportunity to automate my link building efforts. It submits articles and bookmarks to various websites automatically. That’s why I thought it would be interesting to use.
I think it’s a bad purchase. The fact that even after buying it you have to navigate through 4 different sales pages speaks for itself.
Here are other reasons why I can’t recommend it:
Bad Coding
The software itself works fine but there are several things that are disturbing. First of all you can’t really configure it. You can only set a certain delay for posting articles. And here is where the software coder really seems to have missed the point. You can actually enter the delay in minutes and seconds. But for some reason you can’t enter a number of minutes higher than the number of seconds.
So you can’t enter 120 minutes and 0 seconds, it simply won’t accept the input. The only thing you can enter is something like 20 minutes and 20 seconds or 20 minutes and 30 seconds.
No Additional Directories
Another thing that is annoying is that you can’t even add new article directories or bookmarking sites to the software. You just have to stick to the small number of sites that are entered by default. I think there are around 12 article directories.
500 Word Minimum
One of the most annoying facts of this software is that you can’t seem to post articles that are below a length of 500 words. I have usually written articles around 250 – 400 word articles which means that I can’t submit any of these articles via Miracle Traffic Bot making the software completely useless for me.
Can’t Submit Different Titles for the Same Article
There is another thing I expected for Miracle Traffic Bot to include and that is the ability to submit different article titles for the same article, so that the post won’t be as intrusive for search engine. Miracle Traffic Bot lacks this feature too.
No Automated Account Creation
If you are already paying $77 for the software than I thought it would also make it possible to automate the account creation for the various websites. But it doesn’t offer this feature.
The positive side is that the software is easy to install and has a nice interface. But it’s still not useful in my opinion. That’s why I am going to ask for a refund. I can’t really recommend buying the software.
What do you think? Have you used Miracle Traffic Bot? What’s your experience?

I recently purchased Miracle Traffic Bot and was disappointed too. This guy has great ideas but always falls short. Its like he lets all his products rot away after he releases them to the market. As of now… almost half the bookmark sites which is’nt very many to begin with don’t work. Some are gone such as propeller,others say not accepting bookmarks anymore and 2 don’t even work. Plus delicious is impossible to get you login ids to work. The article submission software is also out of date. I always have 5 failed
submissions from the same sites. I checked all of their guidlines but its the MTB software. It fails instsntly even though it passes login test. I’m going to give it a few days and write to Paul to see if they are going to update. It actually claims that I have the updated 2011 elite edition. I don’t think so.
I would’nt recomend this to anyone.. not worth it ….
Chris recently posted..Traffic Exchange Recomendations
Hi Julius. Very good review. If only I had come across it a few months ago I would not have wasted the money on this overpriced product. I do not think much of the software either to be honest. As far as I am concerned it is no miracle traffic device for me.
I hate that it makes you type a 500 word article and also after I entered in my log in ids for all the ezines, I discovered that it fails to submit to around half of the 12 article directories. So I end up manually submitting them to those directories that fail to publish the article from MTB. This despite the “test” of the entered login id being successful on MTB’s list of login ids.
Also the sales pages was a huge annoyance also when I purchased it. And I heard that you have to pay a $40 monthly fee to get updates for it and new directories to submit to. In my humble opinion this Paul Ponna is a greedy internet marketer who rips off his customers, but the product isn’t even worth it.
One point I noticed you made was the idea of having different article titles. Should I do this for my articles, or can I get away with leaving it is as for each directory I submit to.
Finally do you know how long the money back guarantee is? I might have missed the deadline, but if not I will see if I can get a refund. Not impressed with the product at all really.
Thanks for the review! I was just about to purchase. You saved me some money. Do you know of any product that can do what Miracle Traffic Bot says it can do or a software you recommend in general for obtaining traffic.
Hope to hear from you,
Dan
Thanks for the review!
Doesn’t search engines somehow see you are using this software and penalize you?
Have you tried other options, for example Linkvana link building? Was it any good?
“500 Word Minimum”
Yikes! Rarely are my articles over 300 words. I understand Google’s ‘sweetspot’ is between 300-350 words anyway.

That’s a shame.
You bought it with the best of intentions but it seemed to utterly fail to deliver. Only 12 directories?! I know not every directory is worth submitting to but there are way more than 12 that you can be benefiting from.
Thanks for giving the heads up on this one Julius, gonna stay away from it.

I have heard of auto submit software such as these. But have always been hesitant about them. After reading the review on this this one, I won’t think about this one. Having only 12 directories and not being able to change them up, isn’t good. The developer wasn’t taking article duplication issues when developing this software. You need to be able to change up your articles titles when submitting to different sites.
Julius, thanks for sharing your findings on this software.
element321 recently posted..Does Your Site have an Error 404 File Not Found Page?
Hi James, I totally agree with you here. And that’s what I also expected from the software. It’s sad that it didn’t meet my standards but that’s what I expected from it. I mean how can you design an article submission software without the ability to add new directories … it just doesn’t make sense to me.
Thanks man.
Article submissions are truly becoming one of the easiest and fastest ways to create links, especially if they are submitted to the right places. (manually is best)lol. There are many submission tools and companies that will be able to help in submitting the articles to the right places so that they benefit your website. But before you go looking for the submission people, what about the articles, you have to ensure that your articles are keyword rich without violating any terms and conditions and are also interesting to read. some persons may say that they do not need to be readable, but instead of just building random links, why not also make your links active: meaning, make them appear in articles that will actually drive people to your website. This way you kill two birds with one stone. For professionally written articles try http://shannarticles.com/. I write for them and i know that their clients are satisfied. P.S i promote for them too, as you may have already guessed. But think about what i said.
Thanks for the comment I will take a look at the website. And yes I think that usually articles at directories are of somewhat low quality but still I am not sure what kind of effect professionally written articles would have. Especially considering that they cost a lot of money.
I Understand where you are coming from Julius and that is the consensus that i am trying to change. Firstly, too many of those articles makes no sense whatsoever and everyone thinks that this is ok. But if i come across your article for whatever reason and it has a link to a website in the resource box, i will stay away from that website if the article is written poorly. I just think that the company is not professional enough to do their thing properly (but thats just me) The next thing is that if the article is enticing. i may be tempted to click the link and follow through to the site. Who knows, maybe i will by something and if the site interests me, i may recommend it someone or link to it.
Secondly, these articles do not have to be expensive, you can actually get professionally written articles of 500 words each for under $5.00. And i do mean articles that are engaging and written by native English speakers (no offense to anyone else)
I just think that if you are going to do something, do it properly..lol
Thanks again for responding Julius
I agree with Shaukat, i also never used article submitter, prefer manually, because once i was banned from one of social media, submitting same articles with another site
I guess manually is better and save the time and work from avoiding being banned.
Kimi recently posted..What to do “After installing wordpress”
Sad to hear that. I have been submitting articles manually too but I thought that automatic submission might work too. You just need to get the right kind of software.
And yes by submitting manually you really decrease the chances of getting banned.
That is why I don’t purchase software which are newly developed. usually it has a lot of bugs and issues. Even big software making companies like Adobe and MS office made a lot of mistake and continue to improve their system. Thanks for this review Julius. I wonder if hummingbird 2 is okey. It looks promising though.
Peter Paul recently posted..How to earn 100 or more with in a week-
To be honest Peter the software is not that new I think. And yes it’s true that every early version has its bugs but for me it seems like the person building the software was simply to lazy to make it better.
Hi Julius,
thanks for an honest and open review. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting hold of an automatic article submission package, sounds like MTB is not the one to go for!
Thanks also to the commenters suggesting Amplify, I will definitely check this service out.
Des recently posted..Affiliate Progress Report – A Look Back at Quarter Two 2010
I need to check out Amplify too. Seems like a nice tool to use. I hope that this review was useful I mean there are so many “supposedly” honest reviews on the web that I felt like I need to share my opinion here, especially since I was extremely disappointed with the software.
Thanks for review .
I will try find another info about it and may be i will use it

Hi,
Thanks for your detailed review.
Personally, I avoid using software for link building. The best practice is to do it manually. It is indeed a time consuming process, but it’s well worth the effort in the end.
Just my two cents.
Yeah the best practice is to do it manually but it takes soo much time
I have written so many articles that I thought I could automate at least some part of the process but it doesn’t seem like it 
I own Miracle Traffic Bot.First of all you need .NET Framework to install this software.Next this software work but not living up to its hype.If you are expecting Thousands of page views and back links daily then this software is not for you but if you want a decent traffic to your blog or site then I would recommend this software to you.
Patrick recently posted..How to Trace Mobile Phone number in USA Canada and Caribbean Islands
Interesting. I have to agree that the software looks much more promising than it actually is. I wasn’t expecting thousands of page views but I was expecting several things such as automatic account creation and the other things I have mentioned below. For the person who doesn’t care about the criteria I have mentioned above he should go ahead and buy it.
Exactly!Automatic Account Creation was the main feature which I expected from the software but it failed to deliver,Besides the ‘Article Submision’ section of the software contain only a handful of article directories.You can call it a Semi-Automatic Software.
Patrick recently posted..How to Trace Mobile Phone number in USA Canada and Caribbean Islands
Hi,
Thanks for sharing your honest review of Miracle Traffic Bot. I have not heard about it and I have never used it. But thanks for warning us, so that we do not end up buying it in the future.
Kindest,
Nabeel
No problem Nabeel. I will keep you updated whether things have changed or whether I have found a new and better software.
That’s unfortunate that it didn’t live up to the hype. I’m just starting to get into the social media, but it would seem to me you really can’t automate it. Everything is constantly changing (new digg coming soon, for example) and many are designed to discourage mass submission to multiple sites. That’s how I see it anyways, but again, I am new to this.
David LaSpina / JapanDave recently posted..Geisha Lunch
I guess you can automate some part of social media but you are always going to have to do a whole lot of things yourself. That’s how it is most of the time. Thanks David.
Julius, I’ve heard similar stories about it and have not seen too many “legitimate” good reviews of it. I was thinking of using it a while ago, but thanks to you I don’t need to waste my time or money on it any longer. I think I will stick to manual submission for now.
Aaron recently posted..Free Blogs
Yeah I am glad you don’t have to make that experience. I will keep you updated when I find a good similar software.
automatic process is always tempting since bloggers usually has limited time for so many needed task. However, I do not believe there are such perfect tool to do automatic link building.
Dana recently posted..Theme Junkie 50 Discount is Expanded Until End of July 2010
I think there are good tools available but I think MTB is not one of them. It combines too many features in one software such as article submissions, bookmarking and video submissions. Again I think that the developer has also done a poor job coding. I think that the software has the potential to become a good tool it just badly needs some rewriting.

Hi Julius, sorry that you had to find out about this program the hard way. I hope there are no problems with obtaining the refund. I agree with DiTesco, that Amplify is an easier, cheaper way to go (free). Good luck with the link building.
Ileane recently posted..CommentLuv Gives Your Blog Heart
You know I don’t think it was that bad to purchase it. I have learned a few things about the software and related stuff. Still I want to get the refund, I have to call Clickbank tomorrow
I have recently bought a guide on making money online and the strategy seems promising. If it works then I don’t need to build a lot of links. Let’s hope that it does

I have heard about the software through FBs ads. I did visit their site and I can see why you got compelled to purchase the software. Their “squeeze page” is well laid out and does promise a lot of things that a blogger dreams of. It is good that you have made this review and hopefully you won’t have any problems receiving the refund. Article submission is good and unfortunately to get it right, it probably has to be done manually. For automated submissions to social sites and micro blogging platforms, I rather use Amplify’s free service, lol
DiTesco recently posted..How To Build Links, Share Content And More Using Amplify
Yeah they do a good job of selling their product. I have always thought about buying this kind of software and I have done it. Seems to be now that I shouldn’t have done it anyway.
Still it’s good to be able to share the experience here. Thanks for the comment DiTesco!
This is a good point DiTesco, a nice cartoon landing page.. This is one working marking strategy!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the review. I also have seen some of the products like this on the Internet but not sure which one is best. Maybe I will need to research a little bit deeper.
Mike recently posted..Immerse yourself into Magento world this summer, take a ticket to Magento developer paradise!
Glad to. I just needed to share my experience with this software. Maybe it’s also because my expectations were higher. I don’t know but it was just disappointing.
It’s always good to do some reasearch. Hopefully I will get the refund
Thanks for the review… I have seen ads for this product all around and wondered if it was a good buy. I don’t think I would have an issue with the article length, considering how long I like to write them, but without creating the accounts and only having the option of 12 directories to submit them to really doesn’t seem worth it at all.
Kristi Hines recently posted..Article Marketing Promotion with Blog Commenting
Yeah, we have an affiliates who bought a BSA here as you can see on our sidebar! but it won’t stopping me from publishing a review made by Julius!
I have bad feelings about all the points that Julius talked about, especially the different titles while promoting an article, and I agree with you that 12 directories are not worth it!
Yeah I also feel sorry but I feel like people need somewhat genuine reviews not simply reviews from someone who hasn’t purchased the software at all.
You can always edit the article a little bit if you want to Hesham
I prefer it that way buddy, thanks for the awesome review!
I thought it might work. I mean there is no reason why it shouldn’t work. But the problem is that I think the software developer has done a poor job creating the software.
Well I was really surprised about the article length because usually it’s around 250. I don’t have a single article that has around 500 words so it made this whole software completely useless for me.
I still would have been okay if the software at least automated the account creation but it didn’t. The problem is also that some of the directories are not available, the websites were unavailable.
Thanks Kristi.
