TrafficSwarm and traffic generators

Lately I've come accross a couple of traffic generators and a client is requesting I try it on her site. I'm trying to talk her out of it because I don't see how a service such as TrafficSwarm can bring targetted traffic.

Can anyone provide any insight on TrafficSwarm and other traffic generators?

 

youll get lots of hits. but the visitors are worthless and an absolute waste of time and $$

 

Yes it is useless ........ i tried when i was a perfect newbie ........what a waste of time and $$

 

What they said is True. Traffic coming from these type of providers give very low (if not none at all) Conversion Rates.

 

I agree generated traffic are worthless. Say to your client that it won't give you targeted traffic.

 

It will give your client a lot of junk traffic

 

Yep... A lot of junk traffics, no sales, and it HURTS the server! IMO, you should reserve your server's resources to the traffic that Sells.

 

useless. also client would have to waste hours clicking ads or spend $$ for upgrade points. Most of the hits on those systems are from cheat scripts I think.

 

i would not suggest you to go for traffic swarm on adsense pages.
if you have a site or blog that don't support adsense you can go for it.

the best use of traffic swarm and other traffic generators, is to promote your affiliate links. you can get a lot of referrals from these traffic generators, and you don't face any problems.

this is not exactly useless. you get a lot of genuine peoples. but in traffic swarm, there are more sellers than buyers. i mean publishers join traffic swarm and other traffic generators, and not advertisers. so the quality of traffic won't help you.

other wise, you get free traffic, what more you can ask. and when you say free, don't be choosy.........
cheers!

 

true. but probably much more effective uses of your time

 

It depends what kind of traffic you want.

If you are promoting a store/sales page/etc. and want customers, then don't even bother with traffic exchanges. Everyone on a traffic exchange is trying to promote his or her site.

If you are promoting a squeeze page on the other hand, then it might be good for signing up people to your opt-in list. The majority of my list came from a splash page I advertised on traffic exchanges offering a free e-book for signing up for my list.

 

traffic exchange is like a great Internet marketing site to waste your time.

You get lots of traffic from clickers who dedicated themselves to spend time in front of their monitors just to CLICK knowing those ads are submitted by the same kind of folks.

 

Are the visitors other webmasters? Basically a click exchange? If that's the case, why not push webmaster-targeted stuff to them? ie., make referrals, etc.

 

Not true, I get several sales every week thanks to Traffic Swarm...depends on what you advertise
