    Basically article writing, link building and seo is good for free traffic.

    I can't say it's worth it or not. There's many factors that can effect your ROI (return on investment). When it comes to affiliate programs, we always need to consider these factors:

    1) the targeted keywords
    2) the affiliating product/service price
    3) the description of the product/service
    4) the worthwhile of the product/service
    5) the design of the lading page

    These are the main factors that we need to consider.

    I'd say if you really wanna spend for traffic, go for AdWords and give it a try to see how your ROI performs since you can always set your budget for the campaign.

    Good luck!

    It doesn't matter that your bills were paid since you can collect it again in the lawsuit. However, the insurance company that paid your medical bills may have a right to subrogate what you recover for bills that they paid.

    Stay away from those cheap and notso cheap deals where they send you like 30k visits for like 20 bucks. Most of it it's bot traffic and certainly all of it it«s garbage... so don't spend money with them.

    Try PPC to start off, it might be the easier way to get some kinda targeted traffic if you are a newbie to traffic generation.

    There's always SEO, which doesn't necessarily needs to take long and be expensive, and you have media buying, where you can buy banner space for example.

    Now if you dont have much cash and want to make some sales quick, get over to msn ad center and setup an account there, super super targeted traffic there.

    I just can't guarantee your success on it based on this post, but you sure got a nice free bit on info here that you can use... You can reach me on MSN anytime.

    Yes buying traffic can be profitable, but depends where your buying it from, how targeted it is, how expensive it is, etc..

    Any kind of traffic is worthwhile, but there are ways out there of generating free traffic with articles, ezine posts, blogs etc. They can be just as effective as bought traffic - sometimes more :eek:)

    Buying traffic is EASY: Re-mortgage your house and send off the proceeds to Google:p

    You need to look into buying LEADS - buy-in visitors who are in an open, willing to buy mood who are far more likely to convert. Concentrate any traffic purchasing efforrts, be it on Adwords or anything else.

    ** and remember, if it looks too good to be true, it often is.

    IMHO, there two kinds of traffic:
    1. rubbish traffic
    2. Good traffic

    rubbish traffic contains of people that only access your site and stay there couple of seconds and go. OR they are only looking around with nothing

    Good traffic contains of people who looking for solution/product/service that we sell on our website.

    when we are buying traffic, i believe 100% it is rubbish traffic. If you want to spend money, i recommend you to have MSN ads or Google Ads. Your website will be filled by good traffic ;)

    Good luck...

    My experience with just buying traffic ... It was a big waste of money and time

    Find targeted traffic and you should do well

    If you are talking about buying bulk traffic like from those "10000 unique visitors for $10", save your money as they will not convert, not even one.

    Its not good if not targeted. Like if you google adword its good for marketing. But their are which take few $ for some fix unique visitor .Its of no use they just come to click it now for your site content.

    But i think the biggest problem about buying traffic is the low CTR. For the most of the time, the traffic that U have bought are just untargeted which neither interested in your site, nor to chick the adsense.

    Exactly right, I learned this the hard way when I first started building sites.

    Bulk traffic is useless if you're looking for conversions.

    Unless you have a large advertising budget you are wasting your money in my opinion.

    When you are just an average guy or gal trying to make money online you need to get your traffic for free!!!
