    Has anyone else tried to buy traffic from a site like Quality Traffic Supply?

    It is the biggest rip off!!!!

    Never buy traffic especially from Quality Traffic Supply!

    I've sent them over 20 emails asking for a refund and they will not respond!

    Check out this page on their site to see how deceitful they are....

    qualitytrafficsupply.com/article.php

    I'm definitely going to report them to the BBB and the Federal Trade Commision.

    Almost all traffic you buy in mass like that is just bot traffic. I doubt there a BBB company and doubt FCC will do anything.

    I agree with the poster above in fact I can tell you them two organizations are usually worthless to help in such cases, because I also contacted them in the past when I never received a product from an online company. The product was not traffic etc, but was a real tangible item.

    The BBB will issue a written complaint against the company and sometimes place a warning in their websites amongst the thousands of other warnings about companies...... and usually the company that the complaint is against could care less anyway, because how many folks check the BBB first to see if a company is on there before they order or deal with them ? maybe 1 in every 100 people or worse........ and if the company is not a paid BBB member anyway, they could care less even more.

    The Federal trade commission on the telephone told me that unless I had lost a sum of over $5,000 there really is nothing they can do, in fact they won't even file a case for such trivial incidents............ If the case wouldn't stand up in a court where they can also get a reward....... they care less........

    Buyer beware is the thing to go by.........

    Great ... sounds like there is really no recourse for scam victims online unless you get scammed out of at least $5,000.

    /me shakes head.

    Common sense should tell you the following: If you could buy an arbitrary amount of quality traffic from someone, why wouldn't that someone simply be his own customer and cut out the middle man (=you) by sending those visitors to his own sites?

    The fact is I never bother to get myself involved in buying traffic. It's just not worth it as it won't bring consistent long term traffic. You might also risk yourself getting penalized by google.

    Well you CAN buy pupunder/popup/ PTC traffic which is real traffic. It is crap albeit. but it is real and quite possibly CAN get you sales and actual views etc.

    I understand what you mean by crap traffic. And for the most part it is. But it is possible to buy good traffic.

    I know this but most websites selling traffic are not registered or legal companies. BBB does not recognize random websites that pop up and shut down that I know of. Or at least they don't hold much weight. Plus like said above no one really checks BBB. Only times I check them is if a company wants to do some type of partnership.

    Ah, sorry I misunderstood you there. BBB is designed for the organization of larger organizations, so you're definitely right there.

    Yes it is, I sell 10,000 hits for around $1,200. I doubt anyone here has bought "good" traffic though. Anybody selling 1,000 hits for under $100 is FOS.
