    No, it's a waste of money when you could just use so many auto surf applications which will get you the same results, but much cheaper / even free, it's only good to boost your Alexa ranking which plays a part in the ranking of your website in Google (As far as I know) but you can't have adsence on your page when sending this kind of traffic (Google hate it) and they'll ban you before you say "it wasn't me".

    Unless you get targeted traffic, its a waste of money.

    I once was a fool and decided that I should buy traffic to buy website. All was fine and well, but I received no sales and wasted my money. So, in a way, it's not good to buy traffic for your website because it's usually just bot traffic. It can be good for your Alexa ranking, though!

    Yugo,

    Don't buy traffic. It is completely useless.

    depending on what the traffic is used for I would say. Boost ranking, Boost article views, inflating your website traffic for sales and many more creative ways you can use these junk traffics.

    This traffic usually comes from traffic exchanges and "get paid to surf" websites. The quality is VERY LOW...
    There are some specialized traffic exchanges, which may have a slightly better quality traffic, but I think that ppc is still a better option.

    it,s not been a good idea to buy traffic since 2000.

    nobody sends you 10,000 unique visitors for $9.99 or google would be out of business.

    once upon a time you could make some good money with that traffic, now you cant.

    I would have to agree with others , buying traffic is a waste of time , stop buying it and try for real traffic , it is thousand times better.

    Really not a good idea, I've done it before for a flash gaming site. Didn't benefit the site at all.

    :rolleyes:

    Show where Google states that.

    Really, That-Guy? And just exactly how if people do not know about his "content" in the first place? :rolleyes:



    First off, rimydalv81, only you can tell us if your Alexa ranking is good. It's your site.

    Alexa ranking means nothing anyway.

    Do you even know what it is??? Here is a definition of it:

    http://www.doshdosh.com/20-quick-ways-to-increase-your-alexa-rank/

    And many times it is not accurate anyway.

    And, yes, buying traffic, advertising, is what you have to do if you want a lot of traffic. ... Even if you want only, say, a 1,000 visitors a day.

    Next to word of mouth and affiliates, nothing else works on a consistent basis.

    Not press releases. Not signatures. Not social networks. And sure as hell not this overrated SEO....

    Webmasters who have thousands of daily traffic advertises.

    Anyone who says buying traffic doesn't work doesn't know what he is doing, which is why he has a dead site.

    He will never be successful.


    Here are the legit advertising networks to look into:

    TextLinkAds, TrafficSwarm, CasaleMedia, Advertising, FastClick, BurstMedia, TribalFusion, Azoogle, GlobalInteractive, AdBrite, Adengage, RealMedia, Kontera, Avnads, ValueClick, RealTechNetwork, Reduxmedia, and, Dotomi, Clicksor, VibrantMedia, Pulse360.

    Do your homework, check out the rates, and take it slooooooow.


    Stay away from Adwords. Not only are they overpriced, but why advertise in places where your competitors' ads are on top and on the bottom of yours???

    Also with Adwords, and Adsense, you can expect only minimum traffic (less than 50 visitors a day in many instances).

    If you want to get more targeted traffic then, the paid traffic is good otherwise you can go for free traffic.
