True.....perhaps it's not the 'buy 10 000 visitors' ploy but what ever it is it's very untargeted. I wouldn't expect any conversions if it was 'buy 10 000 visitors'...
This looks wierd to me. You are getting clicks on the hoplinks... to me that means that you either put those hoplinks in the auto rotating auto traffic sites or you are sending generic hits directly to the hoplinks. Both of those approaches are a waste of time. Have landing pages with opt-in forms and send traffic to those landing pages. This way you will get sales PLUS you will build a list you will be "milking" for quite some time
