Where do you guys buy traffic ?

    For a health related webstore what would be the best way to buy traffic?. I was thinking of buying targeted traffic but I was wondering if they really convert.

    Thanks

    I think adwords might be the way to go. You can choose a list of keywords people likely to search to find poroducts on your site. you might get lucky and ddiescover some really cheap keywords to drive traffic at a very low price.

    Don't buy Popunder/popup trafffic, if google detects it then they mark you down.

    That's pretty much all I found out from iwebtools' stupid SEO ebook ¬_¬

    The best traffic is the organic traffic.Don't buy traffic because they don't send you real visitors or targeted ...

    Cheers ;)

    So basically you guys are saying, adwords is the way to go? Buying traffic from Targeted Traffic companies (pop-under,pop up, expired domain) is bad?

    Adword will be the best option. Alternative, you may try adbrite for targeted traffic. It is hard to get organic traffic from search engine unless your site rank well in search engine for certain keywords. A simple example, type "Car" in google search box and you will find more than 590 millions webpages and if your site listed in second page onward, i believe you can't get organic traffic from search engine. This is the main purpose why advertisers choose google adsence.

    lol go to adwords, people that offer you like 10000 unique visitors for $5 will probabl get you banned lol since most of stuff like that are against google's TOS

    I never bought any traffic yet... I never invested a cent on my websites. I prefer to buy more websites lol. People here on my country aren't so minded business so i can buy websites for pretty cheap here because they aren't good at profiting so they think that a 10k daily visitors don't worth much heh :)

    I guess i'm doing fine, almost 2k a month revenue :D

    Easy. Don't buy. Buy banners in the forum of your niche instead.

    Buying traffic is most likely bad...

    Here's some places where you can purchase links & ads that can bring you the "right kind of" traffic:
    - Adwords (like mentioned already)
    - www.AdBrite.com
    - www.textlinkads.com (buying text links from relevant sites, they also offer $100 free for links when you sign up (check their promotion code on their site))
    - www.payperpost.com (buy inexpensive blog posts from relevant blogs)
    - www.reviewme.com (buy product reviews from blogs)

    Besides these you can also check:
    - digital point buy/sell/trade forums, there's plenty of people selling links and blog posts etc. directly

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I use popunders with my adsense account and I could not find where they can't be used. I just found this:

    Be aware of how your site is promoted.
    Pages showing Google ads may never be loaded in an unrequested pop-up. This means publishers need to be very careful when purchasing traffic or setting up ad campaigns with third parties. Before contracting with any ad network, you should ensure that they will never display your site in pop-ups or as a result of the actions of any software application.

    maybe buying links for SEO? SEO is very good for long term, PPC is good for short term.
