    Yes it is good but this is not a valid traffic that you need

    buying a traffic is not a good option, its a complete waste of time and money.

    that's not true. but seriously, if you want to spend that kind of money- you might as well get an article written or press release written and build some link weight for your website. this will bring your traffic too and help with your SERP.

    Targeted traffic = Good ad clicks and good user interaction.

    Untargeted = Visit for 3 seconds and leave.

    Do we need to say anymore?

    Buying traffic serves one purpose... Alexa ranking boost. That is all...

    Not if you have AdSense ads on your site. Your CTR will increase which will send a red flag up to Google. I never even understood the point of buying traffic, you don't even know if the people are targeted viewers.

    The best and long way is free traffic or some Ad. But it have to be in the right relationship of the marketing plan. Even some bought traffic can help, but to concentrate only on bought traffic is not good. There are many more ways to create traffic.

    If you want to buy traffic, might as well use manual traffic exchange.
    You can create a mailing list if you entice them with free ebook or other freebies. At least you can get returned traffic and get followers to your blog.

    I have had some friends buy traffic but most of it is untargeted traffic, from people clicking on paid-to-click programs. That leads to no sales. It just looks good to boost your traffic on paper, when you want to sell your website, improve your alexa ranking, etc. the increased traffic looks good on paper.

    I'm with the others. Do NOT buy traffic.

    1. Google doesn't like it very much
    2. Your spending your money on getting people there that's not going to buy anything.

    If you want to spend money, do Adwords or get somebody to improve you SEO. Our outsource some articles and publish them to drive targeted traffic to your website

    It's not good to buy traffic. Let the traffic go on to your site by doing the natural way of marketing your site. Do good SEO techniques that can really boost your traffic well. Google really don't like that method of buying traffics that is really useless.

    What is the point of buying traffic when it's not going to help you sell anything?

    Perry Rose, can you please explain to us, how will you sell anything on your site if the traffic you get is bought traffic and people only stay on your site to get 0.01 $ or less ? They are not there because they have interest in YOUR site, they are there just for the 0.01 $ they will get for 30 seconds on your site.

    Good God, I wish people would think.

    Business, both off and online advertise ("buy traffic"). You don't think they sell anything??? :rolleyes:

    Just because you can't make advertising work, and your site maybe sucks doesn't mean that advertising doesn't work.


    Sorry, teheddy, but your post didn't make sense.

    I think it's a lot better for your blog or website to just pay for AdWords or other advertising. You'll still be getting traffic, but at least it'll all be targeted and you'll increase the chance of having some of your visitors actually interested in your site

    What is auto furf and how does it get traffic. I checked it out and it seems to only be some kind of software backup thing. That has nothing to do with traffic.
