Adwords Alternative --Buying Clicks

    Newbie question.

    I have seen companies that guarantee to send you 30,000 vistors for $89 (their lowest pkg). They claim that the visitors are fairly targeted. Here is the site (http://www.i-web-marketing.com/)

    This would be way cheaper than Adwords. Just doing the math, if I can convert 1/10th of 1 percent (30) folks and I get $3.00 for sale, I break even.

    I need all of you experienced folks to tell me the good and bad about this. Thanks.

    its a contextual parasitic advertising, your site will be shown by pop-ups on spyware infected computers.

    Been there, done that, does not work very well. atleast for the company I was using.

    Now for the site you are looking at. This is from their website:

    "Q: Where does the traffic come from?

    A: We use desktop media, which is bundled with free software offers, to deliver advertisements directly to users. Your site is delivered as a full page advertisement only when the user visits a site similar to the target category you choose."

    That my friends, is how you get random popups on your computer. I know I had that problem, and instantly closed out any popups without looking at the content. And it took me FOREVER to figure out how to remove the software responsible.

    I would suggest not using this company
