How does "traffic selling" works?

    Hello,

    I have seen people selling 10,000 visitors for less than $10.
    How does it exactly work? Cause if there are real visitors, then Google Adwords will be closed down a long time ago.

    I don't think these are bots because they show up on your web analytics report. And I don't think these are some sort of auto surf programs because they all have unique IP(may be use proxy, I don't know).

    So does anyone know how it works?
    Thank you.

    It sounds like you have bought or are considering buying yet another useless scheme. There are various ways of getting useless traffic to sites, it is impossible to to say which method is being used here without knowing more. You can't have something for nothing, or even for $10. Just ignore this crap and go for legitimate, proven methods.

    Ya, I was thinking to try once.
    But it doesn't make any sense.

    You would get a real human visitors by "traffic sellings" but it will not work. Most of them, 99% likely, are not targeted traffic really. Why? and How cheap? Here is my simple explain.

    Do you know sites that allow you to make money by upload your files and pay by viewing numbers? You just send them a traffics with your file and you got paid when the viewing number reached their minimum requirement. How could they pay you? and Why they do pay you that cheap? ($1 for 10,000 page views, how mean is that). Guess.....1..2..3

    They can pay you because the banners, including pop-up that pop when visitor has been driven to their site. When visitors do click on the banner, they would be sent to advertiser page.

    1. Advertisers got real human traffics as advertised, in the number they bought too.

    2. Providers got paid from advertisers by selling traffics from those banners and pop-up things.

    3. Publisher got paid from providers by upload file to the site, post link with tracking code and drive traffics to them.

    What about "targeted traffics?" Well, if you ever use this kind of site, when you upload the file you have to select category first right? That's it. The targeted traffics they claimed are being separated by category the file uploaded.

    Not all "traffic selling" providers do the method I posted, this is just a one of plenty ways to do that. Is it simple eh?
