    The last thing you want to do is buy traffic - it's the opposite of SEO.
    At best you'll get untargeted pop-unders, at worst it'll be bots, at even worse it's just something hammering your server.
    SEO isn't a thing, it's a process - the process of making it easier for search engines to find your site and know what it's about.

    First, this is the best place to start to obtain answers to your questions.

    May I suggest that you read http://open-site.org/Computers/Internet/Promotion to start. You will see how many of the SEO elements are related or tied together. With that, you can come back to DP and ask specific questions.

    Untill you do this, don't buy anything, you will find that it is a waste of time and money.

    PM me if you need more info.

    You dig a hole for your self buying fake traffic for a long run. Try to avoid fake traffic, Checkout site like www.seowebstats.info and get basic idea what are the key words of your competitors and try to improve it. i will suggest you to run a blog and post article, which in long run will sure gain you lots of traffic.:)

    search engine optimization is almost like an art. there is no black&white method of optimizing sites and getting high rankings, it is the combination of dozens and dozens of factors that give you a positive result. If you're just starting i would say to first read as much as you can from the reputable SEO blogs
