    Hi i was just about to purchase traffic the good thing is it is targeted because they use expired domains to redirect to your site. I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck with this and if it is a good idea.

    doesn't matter what anyone says on their website...it's almost impossible to send someone guaranteed targeted traffic...it's a waste of money...

    if you want targeted traffic...buy a link on a popular website in your niche.

    I purchased from revisitors.com . I bought 2500 visitors for $19,95 and my site revenue from that traffic is $13,26 from adsense. If you have a product to sale or affiliate link on page it'll be more profitable and useful.

    As long as the domain is related to your site (keywords and topic) I see that there's potential.. if the traffic to the domain is via search engines (organic traffic) then it's worth the investment.

    Be careful if the prices sound too good to be true, that's how they get you. :p

    buying traffic is like throwing away the money. those are fake traffic or not really your target market. it would be betterto spend it on backlinks or PPC ads.

    All though traffic is being sent from related expired domains this does not guarantee any good traffic due to the expired domains could have been marketed in a bad way. If these domains were marketed in a good way, I don't think they would have gave up on those domains in the first place.

    I would not proceed to buy this form of traffic. :)

    It is a big risk. I have tried several programs to be sure about this and my opinion is that it worths only for general sites that have something that can "catch" the visitor (eg. babes, videos, etc.) and only if the traffic is NOT pop up/pop under.

    If your site is selling something then don't bother at all :)

    buying expired domain can get some traffic but you cant get much from it though. i will say not really worth the money.

    If the keywords of the expired domain and your current site do not match,you will get junk traffic.

    I have to agree with everyone else here, there's absolutely no guarantee as to what kind of traffic you'll get. If you're going to pay for traffic, the thing to have is control over what kind of traffic you're buying. The only way to do that at the moment is paid advertising like ezines or PPC. Depending on your niche, a solo ad in an ezine might be a better cost/benefit ratio if the PPC keywords are expensive for targeted traffic. Keep in mind, though, that if those keywords are expensive, it's probably because they convert to sales and that's worth the price.
