Is IBOtoolbox a Legitimate Business Owner Toolkit or Waste of Time?

IBOtoolbox Bots Scam Traffic Fake & Not Recommended – Click here to read the updated IBO Review – IBOsocial

Updated:  28 October 2018

I must admit and apologize that I have now found out that, yes indeed IBOtoolbox/IBOsocial is a scam and a total waste of time.

I have many friends at IBO and that is the only reason that I have yet to write a full article on this and also why I have waited until now to update this post.

To the friends who I have in the past referred to IBO, I sincerely apologize and am now asking for your forgiveness.

I didn't know that the traffic at IBO was almost all entirely fake, now I do know!

How did I find out?

As a past Club IBO member ($19.95 per month) I created a banner ad and pointed the traffic to my website specifying only one platform within IBO to share it on.  I also uploaded a few YouTube videos and had my website there as well.

Much to my surprise, my traffic shot up!

At first I was excited but then I saw that the time spent on my site along with my bounce rate were negatively affected.  Not only that but I was getting traffic from all of the other IBO sites as well.

What?

Yes, that confused me as well, how did my banners and/or YouTube videos get seen on those other IBO sites.

I then had an idea …… I uploaded more random YouTube videos and pointed the link to my own IBOsocial Profile page.

Guess what happened?

Overnight, I became the #1 traffic leader at the site, so I loaded more and yes I remained easily the traffic leader by far.

I also did the same thing with 2 separate profiles and had the same results, it was so easy.

What happened?

I am so glad that you asked, it has become so obvious that IBO utilizes BOTS on their sites.  I am so amazed that they haven't been found out by Google Adsense as the fake traffic should be against their terms of service…… then again, Google probably doesn't care as long as they are being paid by their advertisers.

Are you reading this and are a member at IBO?  Send me a message if you want more details on the sharing of YouTube while having the learn more link directed to your IBOsocial Profile page.  Any YouTube video 🙂 Load about 13 of them and you'll see that within 24 hours you'll be a traffic leader.

OK, I am usually not a negative person and that is why I haven't openly disclosed this information until now but I must now share so that more friends don't fall for the IBOtoolbox/IBOsocial scam, especially Kris Karafotas who is either the owner and/or the owner trusts her to run the show there.

Terrible support & leadership is also part of the IBO scam, the community of friends is the only reason why I stayed a member as long as I did.  Please disregard all of the content below as it was written back when I had no idea that IBO was a scam.

The IBOtoolbox Dashboard

On the left you'll see an example of some activity on the IBOtoolbox dashboard as well as notice the “Site navigation” box that we just finished going over.

Every day another member of IBO is named as the Featured Member of the Day.  (Can be awarded to you every 45 days but not sooner) I, myself have been honored with the award 12 times since i joined in June 2015.  In order to be named as the FMOTD a member has to maintain at least 5 stars and be active within the community so it's not a guarantee that everyone will be named.

In the screenshot above you'll see the Green which is good and the Red which is not, in order to have them Green instead of Red there are specific criteria that involves being active within the community.  Activities such as creating Press Releases (Max 2 per day), commenting on other members' Press Releases, referring Friends to IBO, Posting onto the Dashboard, Having your Profile Page complete & recent advertising activity.

The dashboard will also show the new members who are joining IBO daily with an automated welcome message from their referrer so as to let others know that they are now a member of the IBO community.

Your IBOtoolbox dashboard can also be tailored and changed as many times as you want, you can click the tab to show just your associates, just new members, just non-associates, just Press Releases, IBO Featured Member and many other options as well.

Conclusion:

Is IBOtoolbox a Legitimate Business Owner Toolkit or a Waste of Time?

After viewing this review from me, I do believe that you now know how I feel about the platform.
