Buying Traffic

    I am looking into buying traffic to supplement my website traffic. I did a search and came across this company www.revisitors.com Has anyone used them before? Any info on them?

    I found another site www.redirectedvisitors.com and it looks like a very similar website design. Now I am thinking these two are just resellers for another company. Does anyone have info on them?

    I really want to get informed before I buy any traffic.

    Thanks

    It's not good to buy traffic. If you buy traffic so it means it's not quality traffic from your targeted visitors. Instead of buying traffic why don't you hire an SEO or link builder for your site to get your targeted traffic and visitors.

    One of my websites is a general site. And as I mentioned its just to supplement everything else I do like SEO and link building. I do believe that you need to market your websites with all tools available.

    That company says that their traffic comes from expired domains. So just looking to get some random people to view my site, maybe they will like it.

    You might want to look in to those two sites that you listed and check for reviews of the service. At the top of the forum go to search and type in those two sites and see if there are previous discussions about those particular sites. I remember a couple of months back there were a lot of negativite reviews so just make sure.

    Buying traffic from sites like that is a waste of money. Period.

    These websites make money by selling crappy traffic that will never convert or help you in any way. If the traffic was decent quality, they wouldn't be selling it so inexpensively.

    Buying traffic is not a good idea.

    I can understand his intention. He dont want targeted traffic. But he just wants some good stats. So for that he is choosing that. There is nothing bad in that. One time I used PTP advertisement through donkey malis which is worth a crap. I think affiliate marketing people who want free signups can use this but as this is exploited by many people now people may not be interested in doing this.

    From what I hear, buying traffic is not a good way to get sales. The quality is usually very low. :( But if you just want to inflate your traffic stats (for whatever reason) then it should work. Good luck.

    yep, to re-iterate what everyone above is saying:

    buying traffic = COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.

    think about it this way, who are you buying "traffic" off, how can they market your website and deliver "real people" to your site for the money they advertise.... basically its a scam, steer clear!

    I don't see that big of a problem with buying traffic..as long as it's from a good source. I realize that there are a lot of bad people out there putting a bad name on submitters. But I think if you look into who you're buying the traffic from, and make sure they're legit, then it's a worthwhile investment :)

    All the places that sell visitors by the thousands I find are not worth the money - not even close. Spend your money on targeted PPC traffic instead.

    Bought traffic is useful for upping the numbers on a site before you sell it.

    Buying traffic is good. Many of the big sites became big partly from buying traffic. And we are talking quality, targetted. Only the clueless, inexperienced think otherwise.

    Unfortunately it is very hard to find the ones who won't rip your ass off.

    If you are looking at a particular service, see how many hits they are getting. If it isn't very much, what does that tell you?

    That's all you need to know, right then and there.
