Any luck with Targeted Traffic Campaigns?

    I've just had another email from Bravenet Media offering to drive traffic to my site for $19.95. In response to receiving this traffic I should get 3,500 unique visitors.

    My questions are 1). Do these actually work? 2). Where does the traffic come from and 3). How does this affect my Adsense advertising if at all?

    Most likely scam.

    You get traffic from exit popups, or surf software which people run in the background. The traffic wount be targeted, none will convert and defenetly no click on your ads so don´t do it.

    99% of all "bought traffic" is worthless unless you want to have a spike in your statistic as reason for buying it ;)

    I don't think it's a scam, Bravenet have their own adverts on all their free offerings, so people click thorough Bravenet sites as they would AdSense ones. I'm also interested to know if this is considered bad by AdSense, I can't see how it would be any worse than using an AdWords CPM campaign?

    The question is also, is it quality traffic - any thoughts appreciated?

    Bravenet Media well you can trust every one in this world if they are worth the business...

    My suggestion is not to go for cpc or cpa campaigns when going for targetted traffic, better go for CPA campaigns that is pay them only when they perform that what they are actully worth. if they claim that th e traffic is really that high as they claim they will approve your campaign..

    at last CPA is a better way to approch if you are concerned about the quality of outcome
