Who Is This Software For?
This software was designed to help with getting traffic for your affiliate promotions, but I honestly don’t believe it will work for you.
They make incredible claims about getting buyer traffic and sales, but when looking at it, I just don’t see how.
Sure, you may get some, but from who? And is it targeted? Will these viewers buy anything?
The “proven” statement is also misleading, as their beta testers were probably their supporters who are already successful online. So not really a reliable test or newbies.
The only way I can see this remotely being successful for you is to buy all the upgrades and hope that will help. Otherwise, I simply can’t recommend this product to anyone.
How Does It Work?
Wouldn’t we all like to get buyer traffic on autopilot? That would be awesome, and that’s what this sale page promises. In 60 seconds no less!
Hmm… let’s see what else it says…
Sales Page
It claims you’re only 3 steps away:
Step #1: Click a button to grab a copy
Step #2: Log into the cloud Software and add any link (affiliate link, opt-in page, CPA link, etc.)
Step #3: Click go and watch your traffic and sales explode
Wow! One click and your traffic and sales will explode? Is this true?
It claims that the “old methods” are no longer working and that you need this new method they’ve stumbled upon. They’ve found a hidden traffic source…
They then hired a tea of developers to build software to automate the hard work down to just a couple of clicks.
How many times have you heard that before?
They claim the benefits of getting Ripple are:
- Get you free buyer traffic and sales on autopilot in 60 seconds or less
- No paid advertising necessary
- No tech skills or existing experience are needed
- The system is cloud-based with no downloading needed
- The software is 100% proven to deliver buyer traffic
- Using this software will scale your business to $150 per day
So the big promise is that you will never have to worry about getting traffic again!
Personally, I have my doubts, but let’s see what the actual product does first…
Member Area/Dashboard
When you get access to the dashboard, this is what you will see…
The software is easy to use, but I always recommend you view the training first, to save you some time in case you get stuck somewhere.
The whole idea of the system is to collect points by clicking on other people’s sites. When you click on a site, you get 1 point, and the other person loses a point.
If you don’t have any points of your own, you cannot get any views!
This is how they create viral traffic.
- In order to get people to share your promotions, you must collect points.
- To collect points, you need to click on other member’s promotions.
- You collect additional points for sharing on Facebook or Twitter
- Each time a member views your link, you lose a point.
- This entices you to share more links yourself.
- If you’re tired of clicking, you can create a competition to entice people to click on yours.
And so the cycle continues on…
Short Links
If you want to see what other people have posted, you go to this page.
You can choose which sites you wish to click on, as well as getting additional points when you share their posts on your Facebook or Twitter.
Be careful what you post to social media. I have had my Facebook pages shut down for reasons I never knew. You can read through Facebook’s Community Standards, as I have.
I never could understand what I did wrong, lol.
They don’t accept raw affiliate links, even though that’s not stated anywhere…
Websites
This page is where you will want to add your own website to the community page. To do this you will click on “Add Website”.
When the popup shows, you will add your:
- Site or page URL
- Enter your shortcode which is a short name description of the subject
- Enter your description which should be interesting enough to get others to want to click on.
As soon as you add your URL, other members of the system will see it! You will not be able to share your own links…
Analytics
This tab shows all the sites and pages you’ve uploaded and offers reports on various metrics such as number of clicks, where they came from, etc.
It’s a very basic analytics report…
Ongoing Competitions
You can create competitions to entice members to click on your links. It’s up to you how many points you want to contribute towards each click.
Point Transfers
Here, you have the opportunity to transfer points to another member of the community.
Point Withdrawals
Once you have clicked many times and accrued your points, you can withdraw them for various incentives:
- You could use them to create a competition.
- You can transfer them to someone else.
Referral System
This page provides you with your link to promote this system…
You can use your link to add to your website, post to social media or promote to your email list.
For every person who signs up to the system, you receive 20 credits.

My Concerns
This software is quite basic, and I’m not convinced what the sales page promises is delivered! Here’s what I’m concerned about:
Concern #1 – Traffic
Where is this magical traffic coming from? If you’re getting most of your points from “clicks”, and not necessarily their sharing to their social networks, then where is the traffic coming from?
Also, unless hundreds and thousands of people buy this product, the whole system will collapse.
Concern #2 – Sharing Links
I’m not sure how they expect you to share links to social media accounts. Many of the members will not be uploading website URLs, but rather only the affiliate link to their promotion.
Facebook and other platforms DO NOT allow you to post raw affiliate links. So then what?
You’d have to create some sort of optin page to embed the link into.
Do you know how to do that? Most beginners won’t!
You’ll have to learn how to pick and choose which promotions you want to share (for more points) that are allowable on social media.
Concern #3 – Member’s Social Media Accounts
Each member will be adding their own accounts to the system for sharing on. Are these personal accounts with few followers, or business pages with huge followings?
You just don’t know, so there’s no way to know how effective their sharing will be for you.
Concern #4 – Limited Front End Product
Like most offers like this, the owners restrict the front end product so much that you’re almost forced to buy the upsells to get optimal use of the software.
And Ripple is no different. The main product only allows you 20 searches per month. That’s peanuts!
You’ll never accumulate points that way, so really, the platform is useless for you.
But… if you buy the first upsell, you’ll get unlimited “everything”. Sheesh!
Concern #5 – Analytics
OK, this page is ridiculous. All you see is a list of how many clicks you’ve received and by whom. SO?
It’s not like you can do anything with this information, lol. Except see who the member is and what’s interesting them.
And if you do get a lot of clicks, it’s time-consuming to go through because each click is reported individually.
Concern #6 – Proven Method??
Nope, I don’t believe that for a second. I’m sure they had what they call “beta” testers before launch time, but who were these beta testers?
They were most likely other affiliate marketers who are already successful and have huge email lists and social media accounts with a huge amount of followers.
That type of testing and results does nothing to prove that it can work with newbies who have none of that!
I’m sorry, but as the software stands now, and you only use it as advertised, I can’t see it being very successful for you, let alone getting you viral traffic and sales.
If you have enough experience, you could do a couple of things to improve your chances though…
What You Can Do!
If there happen to be many, many members, you can take advantage of the fact that all these people are already considered “buyers”.
So if you create a great opt-in page with some sort of freebie, and post that as your link, hopefully, you’ll get many members to click on it.
That way you can collect their email addresses for future promotions and not depend on Ripple.
Pros
- 30-day money-back guarantee
- Low cost
Cons
- Unrealistic income and traffic claims
- Hyped up sales page
- Very basic software
- Cannot share affiliate links to social media sites
- Requires first upsell to optimize front end product
Final Thoughts And Recommendations
I have reviewed many products like this, and though some can be useful pieces of software, I truly don’t believe it will deliver what it promises
Is Ripple a scam? No
Would I recommend it? No
There are so many other legitimate ways to create free traffic.
At the onset, I’m sure the owners thought they were on to something, but I can’t see this being very effective overall.
They always claim it’s beginner or newbie-friendly. Sure, it’s easy to use, but unless you know how to create proper opt-in or sales pages, how would they effectively use the system?
I suppose you could buy all the upsells and have all that done for you, but then you’re spending hundreds of more dollars with no guarantee it will work for you.
What if I told you there was a much better way to build a long-term business with passive income?
Yes, it still involves affiliate marketing, but in a much safer and trusted environment.
The most successful marketers have built their businesses around websites offering helpful content and products.
And once they build up trust with their readers, they can create an ongoing income with their promotions.
That’s because they’re targeting the right traffic with the right solutions. And it works! It really does!
Can I make you my honest recommendation?
I would love for you to come and see where I run my business. I learned everything I needed to know about online marketing and stayed there because the website hosting is better than anywhere else for the price.
Here’s a bit of what they offer:
- Training – Step by step courses, classrooms, tutorials, and live weekly webinars.
- A domain registry – An easy way to find the perfect name for your business.
- A website builder – With over 4,000 WordPress themes to choose from.
- Website hosting – With powerful servers, security, backups, and emails, and more.
- A keyword research tool – Find low-competition keywords for the best ranking.
- A large and active LIVE community – They always have your back!
- And much more…
And the owners, who you meet and interact with whenever you wish, are so confident in their platform, that they allow you to start with a FREE starter membership. No credit cards necessary.
There’s really no other place like this online today!

P.S. Please pass this post on to others for me, OK?
Hi Suzanne
Great review.
My understanding of this stuff is still – let’s say – developing, but if I were to look for an analogy it would be that this sounds like an attempt at pyramid clicking?
As I say I would be at a total loss as to how this could give any sort of value. But then I know very little about these things.
Nice post and very clearly laid out.
Thanks
Andy
Hi Andy,
Yes!! That’s a great analogy, lol.
And don’t worry about being a beginner and not knowing how these things work yet. Because this is something you should do anyway!
There are many more legitimate ways to earn traffic and leads.
If you ever need any help with your business, let me know.
Cheers,
Suzanne
Hey Suzanne,
Great write up. And I agree. Claims about ‘magical traffic’ can never be trusted.
It’s best to stick to proven methods and avoid these so-called ‘quick fixes’.
Thanks again for your help,
Chris
Hi Chris,
I’m glad you enjoyed my review. I try to be as honest as I can be.
Especially about the traffic. So many products claim they will bring in viral traffic, and it’s never true. All newbies online won’t have the traffic needed to make any money.
These products are made to make quick money for the owner, and then quickly fade as they introduce new ones.
If you ever need help online, give me a shout!
