    As others mentioned, that traffic is bad. The only good traffic is targeted traffic: forums, blogs in your niche, traffic exchanges like trafficswarm etc.

    There is nothing wrong in buying traffic. Successful site owners who have hundreds of thousands, to millions of monthly hits advertise. But, it has to be the right traffic. Obviously.

    Look at their prices to the right.

    10,000 Visits for $7.95

    25,000 Visits for $19.95

    100,000 Visits for $38.99

    150,000 Visits for $48.99

    250,000 Visits for $68.99 Special Offer

    450,000 Visits for $135.99

    1,000,000 Visits for $245.99

    That is WAY too low! That's a red flag to get out of a site as fast as you can!

    The price range of reputable click ad services is between 4-10 cents a click.

    Multiple 4 cents times 10,000.

    That's how much it should be. NOT $7.95.

    $249.99 for one million people?!

    Come on, think.

    If this really worked, everyone would have over one million monthly visitors, and there would be no marketing board on Digital Point.

    Also, that site you mentioned gets less than 10,000 daily visitors. If they are good, why isn't it more?

    Pass.

    Hi ... as I dabble in selling website visitors, I likely shouldn't comment on the sites you mention, but will. Far as I can tell, given I'm on the periphery, of the industry, is both sites, you mention, generally offer poor-quality categories of website visitors and ask you to pay top dollar. Much of the Run of Internet (ROI) categories involve Eastern European or Asian visitors, who don't have much interest in a USA- or Canada-specific product. These visitors are from other cultures, which don't emphasize the same interests, hopes and actions as Americans or Canadians. You've next to no chance of selling these visitors anything.

    If you want to up your Alexa ranking, these visitors may do it for you. The price of Alexa need not be so high, though. I'd guess you'd be as well off buying traffic exchange credits, for a lot less.

    As for the nay-sayers about buying website visitors, I agree, 100%. For most sites, quality product, quality service and building back links is the cost efficient way to go. Much more bang for your limited buck, and good common sense.

    If you're bucks aren't limited, that's a different tale. Most websites are small businesses, struggling to stay afloat. The efficient buy-level for website visitors is way beyond their grasp, and mine.

    A household product power house, as an extreme example, spends about $7000 USD a day buying ads visitors see as they exit sites. For a mid-range example, there's the entertainment site that exploded out of the gate and is still buying about one million, high end visitors a day: 85% in USA, 5% in each of Canada, UK and Australia, at a cost of about $2,500 USD a day. Lower mid-range examples include the pop music sites buying a million or more generally targeted popunders, each day. At low end of the efficient-buy scale are an increasing number of on-line clothiers, running 250,000 to 500,000 high-end popunders at about $6 CPM.

    My numbers may be off (low), especially dollar estimates, but all you have to do is use google to confirm.

    The point is when you can afford to play, with the big timers, buying website visitors works, and it works reasonably well. Only 10%, at most, of available ad dollars are spent on the web. As the number increases, the purchase of high-end website visitors will increase, as will the price and at least in the beginning.

    No small operator can compete, given the cost involved. These "big" companies aren't fools, they don't waste much money, visitor buys supplement back linking and traditional means of promotion. These big-times want to be everywhere, and have the money to make it happen. Who at your level or mine can compete? I can't for sure, although I can sell the "big-timers" some of what they use.

    As a last word, if you ever thought it'd arrive, unless you've got an enormous budget and can afford the top quality visitor categories, which can top $9 CPM, build, with quality product, service and pricing, don't buy.

    Class may leave early, today, if they use the extra time to down Molson.

    Don't buy any kind of this traffic as it is useless and will generate you no revenue.

    If your product/article is unique and interesting traffic will come by itself. Otherwise there are many free ways to advertise it: forums and link development is just a couple of free ways

    unless if you're site isn't selling anything,
    and your site only need more exporsure,

    i once bought traffic from donkeymails.com
    and only like 10% of the traffic returned to my site,

    so you better make sure your site is optimized for such traffic,
    such as bookmarking and open a new windows site~

    I have to admit that I never learn with these kind of sites. I've always ended up being seduced into buying a "trial package" from them as they promise results. I've tried around 10 different traffic sites and every one of them was crap. The large majority of visitors wouldn't stay any longer than a second, and the ones that did stay for a little while longer wouldn't follow through to any links on the site.

    I really feel sorry for those that are suckered in to purchasing the $100+ packages.

    Those are all auto generated hits, not real visitors. I doubt it is possible to prove them cheating though.
