Traffic Buyers - Are Any of you earning money from it?

    I am interested to find out from everyone here who has purchased traffic packages from the various sellers. Have you seen any ROI at all? Are you making money from the traffic you have purchased?

    I am certainly interested in some answers to this one. Or is everyone buying these traffic packages in attempts to increase alexa rankings and if so why?

    Yup. I bought 1k and got around 20 USD a day now. I also bought other things which i wont say but it really does help. Just make sure they are not bots.

    I've purchased several things and have gotten traffic, I even specified that it needed to be real people. So far, I've gotten no ROI from what I've purchased.

    I am still looking for real traffic for a reasonable rate to get customers, not just to increase ranking and it cannot be PTC.

    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    Yes, I have much the same experience. No ROI. Also, I might be clueless... but why purchase useless traffic to increase Alexa ranking. As I understand it Alexa ranking is not very accurate as it only counts visitors that have the Alexa toolbar which can't be that many surfers. Enlighten me what their ranking can do for a site.

    It would be interesting to know if there is anyone who ever got a single sale from these traffic services offered on DP, popup/popunders, expired domains, PTC and similar types. In my experience most of them don't even deliver the traffic you purchase and in case they deliver it, it is so much trash/fake that the visitors do not even read your site and simply bounce back within first 10 seconds. If there is at least a single traffic provider here on DP that can deliver a really quality traffic that really converts into paying customers at some acceptable rate, then PLEASE step out and give me a test package. If it will really bring sales i will then buy your whole invesntory. Also some tips where to get a quality traffic would be always welcome from other DP members ;)

    sorry to learn that you are not getting good traffic.

    but we are not all the same you know some are selling ptc or pts some are selling expired domain traffic .
    at least with expired domain traffic you can select a category that matches your site content.

    as for roi most of us who are selling traffic do advise to make sure that your site is clean and easy to see your offers, if a surfer who as you know was not looking for your site ,and we make him see it by putting a popunder under his nose he makes his choice very fast if he want to read any info that you provide ( within 3 seconds ).
    so sort out your site's b4 you get your traffic ,
    we get them there its your job to keep them there

    i don't mean to say that your sites are not looking good but just think from the unexpected surfers point of view

    regards Nick

    the reason that i got into selling traffic was simple ,i tried 20,000 on a site of mine and i was getting clicks on my adds so i was happy , i don't understand how you can say you don't get Roi ....
    the only thing i can think of is you just getting rubbish traffic
    probably from someone here selling you 10,000 hits for 3 $
    or 1000 hits for 1$

    get real Even at 1000 visitors for 1$ i have to pay double that

    so how can i then sell you real visitors so cheep ( I cant ) not real visitors any way

    what YOUR buying is bots and auto surfers , if you don't know autosurfing is a software program that visits a site for 20 or 30 seconds then moves on to the next

    great just for getting you visitor count up if you selling your site but not good for Roi

    thanks for reading Nick

    Yes Nick, that's exactly the point. These people are forced to see the sites so you have already lost 99% of them due to that fact. Seo traffic on the other hand sells due to the fact the visitors wanted to come there as they were looking for what is offered on the site.

    In my opinion, if you are going to be selling traffic that is the sort of traffic you need to be selling. Some sort of targeted traffic this way the users delivered are interested in the site/offer to begin with.

    Thanks for your feedback!

    I've made a little bit of money from PTC traffic, but not a ton. Of course, my product is very likely to appeal to those who participate on PTC sites. I wouldn't use PTC traffic to promote an insurance quotes affiliate program or something like that.

    Good discussion here. Regarding the landing page. I have a website that converts 20:1 from adwords campaigns (from worldwide traffic). I'm not talking about banner clicks - I'm talking about real CC/Paypal orders here. I tried several popunder/popup/expired domains traffic providers out there and bought together maybe about 300k visitors. Guess what. I received 0 - zero sales! Now that's an unbelievable ROI what you think? Now this can be just my subjective opinion, but when I hear, in my case, a suggestion like "the problem is in your nonconverting landing page" it is just a cheap excuse from a traffic provider having garbage traffic (no offense here). However I do agree that lot of guys out there have a nonconverting or poorly converting landing pages, but they still should get at least 1 sale out of 10k visitors from this kind of traffic in my opinion. I personally did expect minimum of 1 sale per 10k but received those amazing 0 sales out of about 300k visitors (combination of 4 different traffic providers) :)

    i agree targeted traffic is the best ( that's why i sell it )

    i tried ptc traffic and found that the traffic was staying on my site for 20 seconds ( no brainer there ) but i had not one click and the surfer only went to the home page , not FAQ or order page ,but there not going too there just there to surf for clicks.

    From all the traffic I have bought I do not think I have seen a sale, I also usually don't even get 1/2 of what I order. If you want traffic, shell out the cash for ppc, send out a real email blast or get ranked organically for your keywords.

    A lot of my customers said they were receiving quite a number of return vistitors when they purchased my gambling traffic. There site was a quality designed one though, not just all flashy.

    I guess it really just depends on the site, and the quality of the traffic.

    I havent seen much return from what I am buying here. I would love to have a promoter who can deliver signups for a GPT site who will actually be members and not just numbers. Any of you find anything like that any where please pm me.
