    Generally, I've found buying traffic is a waste of money. Most of it is either bot traffic, or hit-and-run traffic.

    You're probably better off doing some article marketing, social bookmark marketing, social network marketing, or buying some ads on relevant sites via services such as Adengage.com , Adbrite.com , projectwonderful.com , etc.

    webspider20..I really recommend you that never buying traffic. It is just a waste of money. I dont know how to explain this clearly. But I found that it doesnt work.

    You better using article marketing and all the marketing techniques that bill suggested.

    Good luck

    Right. Most of the traffic comes from traffic exchanges.

    If the traffic exchange is automatic, people are out there shopping and their computers surf the sites and get credits. The computers don't buy anything from you. Yet :D

    Even if the traffic exchange is manual, the traffic almost always bounces. Usually the users (your visitors) are looking for credits, not for something else.

    other way you can drive traffic is through video marketing..do your own video related with your niche and put your web link in that video

    Why not use google adwords and get an ideal rank,then traffic will naturally come.But make sure a budget has
    been made before you start it.

    I suggest you to go in for targeting keywords and try to get search engine traffic through SEO. Give more importance to your contents and refresh it at regular intervals. Get one way link from niche specific and authority sites. You will start getting targeted, organic traffic :)
    Buying traffic is not at all advisable...

    If you want to 'buy traffic' you should use the PPC services.

    If you are on a budget, you are better off using
    article marketing to drive traffic to your site or
    blog and building links yourself.

    Good keywords in a hungry niche can bring you
    sales in a week or so if all systems are in place.

    Of course buying traffic works. Only clueless noobs with a dead site think otherwise.

    The only real way to get a lot of traffic is to advertise.

    But buying traffic, advertising, is not cheap!

    Listed are the most popular and the most used by advertisers....

    TextLinkAds, TrafficSwarm, CasaleMedia, Advertising, FastClick, BurstMedia, TribalFusion, Azoogle, GlobalInteractive, AdBrite, Adengage, RealMedia, Kontera, Avnads, ValueClick, RealTechNetwork, Reduxmedia, and, Dotomi, Clicksor, VibrantMedia, Pulse360.

    Buying traffic online can get you sales, but it is VERY untargeted......Have I bought traffic and had sales, absolutely. Have I bought traffic and had 0, adsolutely! I have spent money on adwords and had 0 sales....

    Buying bulk traffic is good for certain items, mainly getting broad brandname exposure....i.e. like radio or television....getting your name out

    you have to try Facebook because it is the best social network.

    It has got over 300 million monthly active users which is more than any other social network at present.
    These stats are the proof for Facebook being the best social network for maximum traffic.

    You can target your desired audience by defining accurate demographics of your audience. Here you can find people of all ages. You first advertise your website on Facebook fan page for minimum rates and create your website's Facebook fan page side by side which will help you to drive Facebook traffic to your website.

    involvesocial help to get traffic on your website so try it

    It does not work. Mostly the traffic is coming from the same ip address. Just go natural, Google would appreciate you for doing so.:)

    It doesn't work?

    Says another noob with a dead site.

    Tell that to all of the webmasters who advertise, and they have hundreds of thousands to over 1 million monthly hits on a consitent basis.

    How do you think such sites got to be so big, anyway?

    Whew, bright bunch here.

    I just checked your website and I noticed that you need to do some onpage SEO for your site so that you can rank better on the search engine.

    You can try Google AdWords if you want to get instant exposure and get targeted traffic to your website.
