Why don't we just buy the traffic?

    Ok, I have one silly question?

    Why not just to buy a monthly traffic (say 100.000) and enjoy clicks without dealing with pain in the a$$ SEO and link exchange? With %3 CTR and .35 per click it should make 1000 bucks a month!

    (Please don't kill me :))

    Excellent idea, except for the small detail that you wil have to pay for the traffic you bought.

    Well, even if you buy at the very bottom price of 5 cents per click, it wil end up costing you $5000 for 100.000 clicks.. not a very good ROI

    Oh no, thats not what I meant. I am talking about buying a traffic - visitors to your website. There are plenty of places that will sell you traffic of 100.000 for say 70-100 USD. So, why not just to buy? Can anybody please tell me what is not right about this? I am sure that something isn't right cuz otherwise everybody would be doing it...

    Of course it isn't right, it will just generate some random hits or so from people not interested in your website. Do you really think they will click on your ads? LOL!

    True. You can buy traffic from google for 5c per visitor and some wil click your ads. You can buy bulk traffic somewhere else (usually distributed via popups, popunders or other forms of redirects), and you wil be lucky if 1 in 10000 click any of your ads.

    I heard about this company: http://absolutesitetraffic.com/

    Do a search though.. I don't trust this type of marketing.. Depending on your category, you're probably better off with PPC...

    What's the website about?

    1) Their not real clicks.

    2) If by small chance they are real clicks, it's not targetted traffic.

    I always believe that you get what you pay for. I wouldn't want 100k untargeted visitors sucking up my bandwidth.

    SE traffic is the best as it's targeted, you just need to work at it.

    Besides, you answered you own question, if it was that easy everyone would be doing it.

    Do you? if it was that easy everyone would be doing it.

    If someone is paid to go to your site thier # 1 motivation is getting paid, not your site.

    If you are referring to absolutesitetraffic whose to say how targeted the traffic is? Them?

    If you are not referring to absolutesitetraffic, then I don't understand your English.

    AdWords? ;)

    Buying traffic for AdSense really doesn't work. It would be extremely, extremely, hard to even come close to breaking even.

    Sorry, but you're best bet is SEO.

    hehe ok you little kid. You expect some in depth explanation with your arrogance. Take note of this: "Don't believe everything you read"

    You’d be lucky to get 1/4% CTR and to make more than $40.00/month.

    Lets’s say you can get 100K visitors for $100.00 or .01 cents/visit. Who in their right mind would surf for that kind of money? Maybe a bot?



    Now this is just confusing, if you know, why are you asking?

    And I agree with dcristo, considering you want people to answer your questions, you are quite rude/arrogant.

    Oh lord...
    I say I know that there are places where you could buy that freakin traffic but, ask to learn where exactly.
    Grow up dcristo. I am not defending the "buy a traffic" scheme here. We are just discussing things, to find out what is best. Get a grip.
