    Hello !
    I will explain you my situation :
    I've created a website since 1 week and i applied to CPALead. They haven't accepted me yet but I started working. I seek a way to get traffic in my young website. I've done social bookmarking, backlinks, but i still have only 2 visits a day.
    Besides, I found in google many sites offering targeted traffic. Is it worth and someone has tested already? And if it works great, which site is the best ?
    Thanks and sorry for my english because I'm french ^^

    I wouldn't buy traffic so soon, especially since you only had your site for 1 week. Get more Content on your site, make it more professional. Add your site too Search Engines, there are a lot of auto search engine submitter like addme.com. Create a facebook page and twitter and get followers and post links there to get your site known more. Wait around 2 more weeks until you see getting over 60 visitors then buy traffic because if you buy it now and not have good content what would be the point of having visitors if they don't find anything interesting. & Your English is good. :p

    Thanks for your answers. In deed, I discovered that a lot of them are SCAM.

    Work on building up your site content, fine tuning your SEO, and developing your own natural traffic sources. Give your site some work and with time you will start to see results. Buying traffic can be a legitimate option but it is really something that should only be used in certain situations. You have to remember that the majority of purchased traffic is not targeted, or is targeted very minimally. Conversions can be hard if you are offering something that doesn't have mass appeal.

    If you do want to buy traffic for your site once you have some natural traffic coming in already, make sure you do some looking and watch out for those scams you mentioned. Additionally, you should look for traffic that isn't coming from a source that will have a negative impact on your site in SERP's. There are some good traffic sellers out there who will offer prices that you can profit well off of if you have something on your site that will convert with, at best, very lightly targeted traffic. Research it some more when you need a break from your SEO or content creation and find out if payed traffic will really work for your site and conversion goals.

    I don't prefer buying traffic, its not worthy for me, I prefer doing it manually for more effective and satisfactory result.

    Buying traffic is never reliable - why don't you pay for advertising instead?

    Buying the traffic is not a worthwhile solution. Better to attract it on your own

    10 visits from related niche is better than 1000 visits from irrelevant sources. Attract visitors from relevant sources, so its better you market your website yourself.

    definitely not worth it. once you stop paying for that traffic, your website will have no viewers.
