    Hi All,

    As we all know Traffic is THE most important factor when running any online business, so there are countless ways, where alot of effort is required to get the word out........
    So if i wanted for example 25,000 vistors to my website per month - that will be GREAT, dont you agree?? there are companies outthere that say they can acheive this, 25,000 visitors to your site, now.....a measley 1% converstion rate is 250 buyers, even if my profit per sale is £3.00, thats £750 PROFIT for a average outlay of £200 (for the leads/traffic).... Now av tried to explain it in is simpilist of terms.... Why.... Does it work???
    by the way the site in question is .adminder.com/traffic/
    Now truthly am tempted, But i would like to hear from any marketer that has seen this process work for them.....

    It will be helpfull guys 'n gals i think all members will benifit from this info.... Because for the sake of £200, compared to the countless hours used in generating 25,000 vistiors to your site, the question is....????

    Is it worth the investment???

    Thanks in advance.....

    I've gotten very POOR returns from traffic purchasing, but I only did like 1,000. I'd say search ebay a little bit. Don't expect sales.

    However I have heard people get great results from traffic or horrible, few look like they're worth it.

    You need to buy TARGETED traffic. I have GREAT results. But only on TARGETED traffic. I spent like $100 on UNTARGETED traffic and got crap...

    TARGETED is what you need.

    If you need a couple of sources for traffic let me know, or I'll resell you some targeted traffic :)

    One of my clients bought traffic once, he spent like $500 or something to do it (he has a lot of money so sometimes he just does stupid stuff), anyway his alexa rank went way down but he didn't get one lead or signup to his site.

    I found out there are these "Get Paid To Surf" sites that generate alot of this traffic they pay people like $0.01 or something for every 100 sites they visit (I don't know if that is really the break down or not) and people sit there and surf website after website.. I'm sure thats one way these sites generate SOME of their traffic.

    If you buy traffic you need to really research as most use bots to make it seem you are getting a lot of hits but in reality you are not getting anything but your bandwidth taken up. I bought around 50k in traffic over a 1 month time just as an experiment and from the bought traffic they sent me up to 75% bots and the click through rate was terrible

    Yes you can buy traffic like this, but most of it's rubbish and none human. I would never buy traffic this way as you are wasting your money and sending it to pages with some ads on like CPM ads could actually get you banned from your cpm ad networks.

    You really need to start training your eyes in order to detect which traffic sources look like scams and which don't.

    The one in question here is a scam.

    I would never buy traffic for any site with adsense ads on it. I do not buy traffic that much because most never made that many sales.

    You guys are talking about buying traffic. Is that the same as paying a company to put your ads up on their subscribers web sites? In a targeted fashion, I mean. John

    The catch:

    1) they don't convert (or click on ads)
    2) google adsense hates it and they will ban you if the traffic isn't comming from a good source.

    If the traffic actually had any value, the company would be monetizing it themselves, not selling it to others at such cheap prices. The reason people sell traffic is because its worthless.

    not true brother..

    then google wont be selling traffic..

    every traffic u purchase if its real visitor and targated is gold mine..

    for example..

    lets say u started a site like MYSPACE a community site..

    now your plan should be buying traffic from sites directly indirectly matches ur niche..

    u can try google adword and limit where(which specific sites) ur ads or banners will actually appear.
    u can try adbrite or text link ads and buy traffic/links from sites related to ur niche..
    u can buy a lot of backlinks from related sites to ur niche that have high traffic..

    ((( BUt WARNING ))))

    if u dont know what is the source of the traffic that u r buying..
    and it seems they are hiding everything..

    its just waiste of money and a scam



    lets say ur site is about GET PAID TO READ EMAIL

    u dont need google adword
    u dont need adbrite
    u dont need adengage or any other..

    u only need BIDVERTISER.. and buying PTC and TEXT links from sites like donkeymails gainpay bux.to etc


    Also if u want USA traffic.. make sure its USA traffic.. Not Swis traffic

    buying traffic makes ur life easy.. thats why u see billions of dollars spend on adword ... and google a multi million company..

    but be wise.. dont be a looser..

    I'm sorry, can you repeat that in English?

    We are talking about buying traffic, as in: "25,000 visitors for $20"
    That stuff is ALWAYS 100% crap. Period.

    The only type of traffic I would buy is ezine, article, press release, social bookmaking and so on.

    Stay a way from companies that will offer you 25000+ visitors for some ridiculously low price their are just sending you pop under traffic and you are likely to get the same person to your sites multiple times and the traffic is not targeted at all. Meaning no sales.

    Good luck
