Guaranteed Unique Visitors programs really work

[khudania]

I have recently made a site and was thinking of going for 'Guaranteed hits' programs for getting visitors.These programs claims unique visitors for X $. Has anybody ever tried similar program ? Does these program really worth consideration ?
:confused:

I have the same question............ I tend to think they are more BS then anything, but I have no experience, maybe someone here can offer experience?

Most are garbage. A visitor that's just "clickig through" is darn near worthless, assuming it's even a real person that's visiting your site to begin with.

If you have $, spend it with Adwords instead.

Tried a couple such campaigns bought cheap of ebay a few years back; saw no results.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...

Does it involve somthing like hiring people just to click the links who pays them ?

I paid $10 bucks once [or twice :D ] for 1000 unique visitors.

I checked my logs and I did receive the visits. Of course, it was "untargeted traffic" which means some poor web surfer looking for widgets clicked on a dead link and was redirected to me. I should have put up some really funny graphic or something. Anyway...

If you like to play the odds then why not. Otherwise, your money would probably be better spent on something else.

But considering users has clicked the site and the number of visitors increased,wont that help in improving the pagerank ?

If the visitor has the toolbar installed, clicked an AdSense ad or clicked on a SERP result, then yes, there could be a chance that it will affect the page's popularity. Not so much the PR but G has the capacity and technology to monitor page visits to a certain extent. And if they indeed make use of this ability then they could indeed add it as one of the many variables in their ranking algo.

But who knows...

"it was "untargeted traffic" "

10 bucks for <i>that</i>? That doesn't sound useful for most sites.

I tried a 10,000 targeted traffic package once, and out of the 10,000 people only about 10 or so wandered off the main page. No conversions whatsoever...

You'll probably see the same results, but it can help you for let's say, a 1:1 traffic exchange.

I bought 10000 visits for $29, they claimed they got the traffic by registering expired domains. Later I found all the visitors were sent by a CGI script, 100% only visited the main page.
I would suggest stay away all these crap, use Adwords/Overture PPC program, or contact the webmasters directly if you find some content websites could bring you targeted traffic.

10,000 visitors for 29 bucks - you get what you pay for right?

I tried one of these as well last year I think. I paid for 100,000 clicks for 50 bucks or something, I forget. Not one visitor went past my home page. I suspected it was a robot generating clicks to my page for me. If you are in a link exchange program where you get 1 impression for every 2 visitors to your site; it might be a good way to get free impressions, but beyond that; its pretty worthless.

I have not seen much ROI with any "hit" companies out there.

Thanks :)

I just thought of an idea while reading these posts. A web directory listing false trafic websites that don't realy send realy visitors.

If your page is humor/teen oriented you might try www.funpageexchange.com you can buy credits and the visits coming in are real visitors clicking links :]
anyway works for me, there are many programs like this for other subjects..best paid traffic I can think of.
