Looking at the pages then it seems taht all links are done via redirect so from a SEO perspective it looks like they are of no value. If Traffic Jam gets real visitor traffic and you can work out what you need to do to get yourself on the top category pages then you could get some traffic but how you do this is shrouded in the mystery of their algorithm. Call me cynical but my guess is that the main beneficiary will be the network runner, a bit like the old 3 for 2 type of banner exchange, 3 in fro you, two out to you and one for me to monetise! Just my first impressions. I believe that Traffic Jam is a John Reese initiative.

Can you explain it a little more? Is it worth my time to look into? Regarding the Traffic Jam, I got the email, but I just deleted it (don’t have a lot of time for R&D right now).

With the amount of traffic you sent, it should be a couple of coffee's at least.

Just a fact of life and there are plenty of other merchants out there. Once you have got the sale you then experience the wonderful world of 'reasons for deletion'!
