Solo-Ad Scams and Red Flags: A Buyer Safety Checklist
How to screen solo-ad offers for implausible guarantees, weak transparency and unmeasurable traffic.
Guaranteed earnings are a red flag
Traffic sellers cannot honestly guarantee your profit because they do not control your offer, page or economics.
Vague traffic descriptions
If a seller cannot explain the general niche, geography or delivery model, you have less information to evaluate fit.
Pressure to buy large immediately
A reputable source should survive a controlled test.
No independent measurement
You should be able to use your own analytics or tracking.
