    Do you buy website traffic? I am not talking about PPC etc. I mean, do you buy visitors? In my opinion buying visitors does not give you anything and you waste your money only. It is better that you get less but targeted traffic from SE, Social networking, article marketing etc.

    I think, Facebook, Twitter, Digg can do much more for getting traffic.

    But do you think, that you can get some good sales if you buy website traffic?

    some time ago i bought traffic packages from 2 guys/companies and got scammed. never looked back again. just spend the money that you have on link building and you will be much better off in the long run

    Depends if you are buying targeted visitors obviously! And then it depends on if you make a profit. If you buy 1000 targeted visitors for $25 and only 1 of them purchase your product at $50 then you've made a profit and it was worthit!

    There is a difference between visitors and "hits" which are what any wally and his dog will sell you on here. That kind of traffic is pretty useless in that it's a waste of money and soon stops. It could be good for your Alexa rating but lets face it, Alexa ratings doesn't guarantee high SERPS.

    I completely agree. There are no short cuts in online marketing. Just hard work and dedication that pays off handsomely.
