Cheaper to get traffic here than through google?

    I'm new to online advertising so bear with me. Checking the rates on google adwords I see that it will run me about $1 per click to my site. However, in the BST forum, I see credible deals promoting tens of thousands of visitors in a day for less than $50. How can there be such a discrepancy?

    Someone explain this.

    Do you have the visitors quality in check?

    People buy traffic to convert, and the $50 for 10000 visitors ain't gonna get that.

    By the way, I get junk traffic like that for way cheaper.

    So what's the actual difference? Who are these 10000 visitors?

    Some offers say the traffic is both targeted and human. And they have a credible rating.

    With Google Adwords, you really have to know what you are doing. You could lose your shirt if you don't understand your customers, your niche, and what their emotional hot buttons are.

    As far as other traffic offers, a lot of the times the traffic may not be targeted to your particular niche or bot traffic. You need to read the fine print in order to know what you are getting. Every provider is different.

    The quality of the traffic is better from google .The visitors from froum may just be interested to know and click not true buyers.

    Never buy traffic from this kind of deal while most of this deal provide you non quality traffic.
    If never tell you what their traffic from and what is their traffic usually looking for. Then it might not trustable, it might be bot or just hire people to click on it .
    Every single dollar you spend must worth it . Spend up to $1 or $5 with a quality traffic , it worth and still profitable if they is quality and come with high conversion rate.
