    This is dodgy. I would stay away.

    I know this was a long time ago when we had this thread going on here but I wanted to get back and mention that some time down the road this guy contacted me back and wanted to sort out our differences on feedback.. I was happy to withdraw my neutral for him to withdraw his negative.. Experiment was not worth staining my perfect feedback for.... I would say at best I was getting website visits from an auto hits machine. On the plus side it did rocket my Alexa rank to something unreal for a page rank 1 website. However that was before Alexa redid there grading system. I am sure it would not be the case today.. If it was people could hide behind an excellent alexa rank and charge advertisers an arm and a leg to advertise on the site which I am sure happened.. I have seen to many horrible horrible sites that claim 20k unique visitors a day and offer high prices that seem like a deal for such a highly traveled site.. I am sure Alexa fixed this glitch with their latest algotherium. I think also since thrive of this thread that Ebay no longer allows digital products if I recall correctly.. Maybe it would be good to have this thread bumped back up again.. A good read for those who are not already educated about it or are thinking trying something that sounds unreal.

    Hey thanks for the update, it was definitely an interesting read.

    You have proven yet again that bulk traffic is worthless.

    I think this thread is a very useful read for many eeery about falling into an advertising scam which are everywhere.... I know its older thread but I think the information here is still mostly relevant. Hope someone else finds it useful. *bumped.
