    RealTrafficSource is a dead site, there, szhang.

    Nice try, though.

    If you could find a service, what sells traffic, what is generated from ads. That might convert.
    But mst of the time, bought traffic is forced to go to your website. And usually they leave before the page loads.

    The only way that any sort of purchased traffic has been worthwhile for me personally is when I focus on lead generation. I don't even try to get a sale on that first visit.

    I send these visitors to a capture page.

    On that capture page, I offer a free report. In my case, the report is "How You Can Boost Sales with AutoResponders.".

    So anyone that is interested in that information can fill out the form and they are now subscribed to my AutoResponder for future follow up.

    Over time, my AutoResponder stays in contact with them. This helps them get to know me better, builds my credibility, and builds rapport.

    I think using purchased traffic for lead generation is the way to go.

    Trying to get someone to order or join something on that first initial contact has proven to be very ineffective for me.

    First of all, if buying, co-reg is the best way. But make sure you can afford it first & have your sales funnel solid.

    There are other ways, but I prefer this....I get the best results

    In my opinion 90% of visitors for payed traffic will not even try to read your forum. Real and trusted visits are always from search engines, that's why you should spend your money on improving your google position etc.

    buying traffic is a complete waste

    never do it I bought 5,000 hits once just to test it out. zero sales from 5,000 hits and I usually get one sale per 100 unique hits with other methods
