    Q1: Why do you need traffic?

    Without traffic, you site is dead. They keep your site alive and kicking, but they can also be a community for you and even lead to making money. It's like having a mini-network.
    ______________________________________________

    Q2: What are the advantage of traffic to your website? Boosting sales? Ad impressions?

    To me, its more than just money. It's the community and having feed back. You can learn from them, just as much as they can learn from you.
    ______________________________________________

    Q3: Do you think you need constant traffic flow or let your site virally attract traffic?

    Yes, without a constant flow, it's dead.
    ______________________________________________

    Q4: What did you do most to get traffic?

    Comment

    Q5: Have you ever bought traffic? (real human traffic, no bots)

    Oh no, I do not have the kind of money to burn.

    Q6: If yes to (Q5), did the traffic convert to sales or increase your revenue?

    N/A

    2.Increase my web exposure and thus increase my visitor based.

    3.I prefer slow and steady and not expect suddenly rise and down in traffic.

    4.I'm using link building and social engineering.

    5.I don't believe in such thing.

    6.Non applicable

    It boost sales, and increase earnings from my websites.
    ______________________________________________

    Q3: Do you think you need constant traffic flow or let your site virally attract traffic?

    All my websites get constant traffic as soon as I get them on Top 10 on google for some keywords, so I can say myself experience is to do some SEO daily,get the top 10 on google and watch the results even while you sleep:)
    ______________________________________________

    Q4: What did you do most to get traffic?

    Squidoo lens, blog comments, article writting, blog posts and social bookmarking. The traffic comes after doing just that.

    Q5: Have you ever bought traffic? (real human traffic, no bots)

    I did it years ago, but... it is a waste of money, better invest is just profit from FREE search engines traffic, even not PPC websites as adwords or any others.
    ______________________________________________

    Q6: If yes to (Q5), did the traffic convert to sales or increase your revenue?

    Oh YES, it was about $200 a day with Google Adsense until after 2 months the account was banned for invalid clicks. ( Note that the traffic was legitime from videos )... but anyway... that was arbitrage and google does not like it.

    Q1: Why do you need traffic?
    ______________________________________________
    Visitors = income. More visitors = more income. Simple enough for me :)

    Q2: What are the advantage of traffic to your website? Boosting sales? Ad impressions?
    ______________________________________________
    More sales, increased rankings in a few things. I like making Squidoo lenses sometimes, and they pay for visitors over there.

    Q4: What did you do most to get traffic?
    ______________________________________________
    Got lucky & built things that had a lot of keyword visitors.

    Q5: Have you ever bought traffic? (real human traffic, no bots)
    ______________________________________________
    Nope. That'd be like throwing my money into the wind unless it was something super general like a today.com blog or for alexa/stumbles.
