Members of no-click traffic exchange can earn banner exchange credits while watching TV in another room. If you are a member of a banner exchange, you are trading high quality banner exposures for useless banner exposures.
There is no limit to number of credits you can earn with no-click traffic exchange. The user agreement for traffic exchange that I joined this morning clearly states "If you leave hitbar on all night, you will get credits all night long". The traffic exchange users not only don't have to be in same room - they don't even have to be awake!
Here's where time bomb comes in. People are flocking to these no-click traffic exchanges. It makes sense, you can earn banner exposure credits with no work. You might even be trading your worthless credits for visits from a person who actually looks at web pages.
Millions of people will be running these applications all night long. Many will run them 24/7. This will generate an enormous amount of traffic, slowing down entire internet. And all this traffic will consist of computers automatically cycling through web pages that no human is looking at.
The only thing that can prevent this time bomb from exploding is if banner exchanges block IP addresses of all automatic traffic exchanges and don't give credit for banner exposures generated by them. And if traffic exchanges requiring user to click guarantee that they are not redeeming credits with hits from automatic traffic exchanges.
But this will not prevent users of these applications from slowing down internet with massive mindless traffic. The only solution is for Internet itself to block IP addresses of all automatic traffic exchanges. However, I'm afraid this will not happen until after a lot of damage has been done, if ever.
