    Hello,
    I was wondering that what if a buy traffic for my website, I found lots of websites on the internet offering unique traffic for a small amount, for
    example a site was offering 10,000 unique visitors for just $14 !!
    Are these websites scam or they really drive thousands of unique visitors.

    The site on which I want traffic is: http://toponthelist.info

    If anyone know a site which can really send unique visitors, please share with me.

    Thank you very much

    Buying traffic can be tricky because alot of it is bots! "fake traffic" non real users. I would do some research and read some reviews of traffic sellers before you spend any money!

    Dont even think of this. Even if you encounter the most honest service that promises real visitors, it will only give you a temporary thrill. Not good for long term.

    No, don't buy junk traffic straight to your site, what you should be doing is buying traffic to social media accounts that have your site on it

    Why do you want the additional traffic in the first place? IMO, what's important is not the number of visitors your site has, it's about the relevance of each visit. If you have 10k visitors/day and none of them really want to look at your website, then that's just wasted bandwidth. You'd be better off with 500 visitors that convert.

    If you are selling Baby Diapers what good would it be to have 100,000 people visit your site who are looking for Motor Oil????? Buying random traffic NEVER converts.

    It really depends on where you buy the traffic from. If you want to buy traffic I recommend buying soloads on relevant high ranking websites.

    Don't waste your time or money, getting traffic isn't as hard as everyone thinks. Relevance is huge with google. So write some highly relevant articles and post them and you will soon see results. why spend money when you can do it yourself for free and you will have the peace of mind knowing our not risking your money into some stupid scam.

    That is just money wasting - not that much money, but still wasting. It is even better to invest them in adsense...

    I tried that at the beginning, complete waste of money, people in far off places just clicking your link looks great on your analytics data, but its sales you need.

    This kind of traffic is usually fake traffic, and can do more harm in stead of helping you. You will get your traffic but a low quality one, which can alert Google in a negative way.

    It's usually crap, it's either from bots or it's from traffic exchanges, both which don't convert very well at all. :)

    This one is true. Don't buy visitors who are not looking for your product.

    For type of top 10 list website you have , I think the best idea is promoting it on a similar niche site with a bigger audiences. Advertising in 2leep and mgid can be a good idea. Although a program that sell 10,000 visitor for $14 is genuine, if visitor they provide is non targetted, you probably wont get any positive result.
