Every now and then an new referrer comes in and sends traffic from those stupid paid per click or incentive email reading sites.. They blast 1000's of hits a day. I'm talking 10-20k hits a day, but the traffic is pure crap... For anyone thinking of ways to increase traffic, 10 real hits are worth more than 10,000 incentive program hits. Pure garbage
Yeah I have promoted a few of those PTR programs before and people that buy from them will typically only advertise once because they will not see a conversion from it unless they are incredibly lucky.
LOL - I had to laugh at this one... THIS is my pet peeve to be honest. It throws my whole stats off - hate seeing 1:30000 conversions from my affiliates, all because of one person that sends this said 'crap traffic'... Even if you only have $15 to spend - NEVER buy XX XXX hits from nobody. You'll have a MUCH better shot with adwords/adbrite/or even hiring 3 $5 writers for three ezine articles... NC.
Well sales would definitely be terrible. But anyone tried email/zip submits? (incentivizable of course)
Yeah. One time, I bought ten thousand clicks for ten bucks (or whatever it was), just for the almost sensual feeling of seeing those numbers rise - knowing full well I was wasting my money.
