Is that worth buying 10000 clicks at $35.00?

    I currently got a sales email said I can buy 10000 unique clicks at $35.00, the visitors may not possible my targeted segments, but might yes. the 10000 clicks will be receiving days by days (around 200/day)

    Is that worth going for it?

    Thanks

    Tim

    If it is not targeted then don't go with it. But if you think it can create conversion then try it.

    Nope, most of those kind of opportunities are scam. You will NOT make any conversion at all.

    I'm guessing it's complete junk, why else would someone sell 10,000 clicks for $35?

    the advertisor is kind of pixel site, that offers incentives to visitors to click the ads (something like pixelotto.com, but offers small free gifts to visitors such as a MP3 when clicks reach to a specific number, in return, the pixel buyers need to pay for those clicks, which is $35.00 for 10,000 clicks. does that worth trying for it?

    Its junk traffic, worthless.

    If you are looking for non-targeted traffic - you could get 35000 clicks from adwords

    I wouldn't expect much from that kind of traffic.

    The traffic is being paid to view as many advertisements as possible (if my understanding is correct), why would they stick around your site?

    Sounds worthless. You're better off with 10 targeted vistors that 10k random bs.

    If you're going to use those 10,000 clicks to hopefully earn revenue from ppc ads ( contextual or keywords ads ) on your site, you are going to risk losing your affiliate account for sending them incentivized traffic. Most ppc providers are VERY strict on this issue.

    If you're hoping to sell a service or product with these 10,000 clicks, you're wasting your time and money since incentive traffic is typically garbage, if it's even real people, lots and lots of bots around. If you're promoting another incentive site of some sort and are just hoping to gain a few referrals...you might get a conversion or two out of those 10K, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

    No! Don't do it!!!!!!
    I've done it before on the assumption that, even though it might be junk traffic, I'll still get some revenue clicks out of it. Right? Wrong? Even out of 10,000 visitors, I got zero-zippo clicks on ads.

    Non targeted incentivized traffic is almost worthless!
