    Why do you think it is good for 'Search Engine Optimization' ? That would make no sense to me at all :)

    Watch out with buying traffic, it's usually thrash for you... I would rather go with banner advertising on a site that gives you targeted traffic.

    Buying traffic is probably the worst thing you can do.
    They are generally bots/automated/pop unders/pop ups etc.

    Its completely useless for SEO and is against adsense TOS.

    I would agree with Ervee , banner advertising would be better for you.

    Any other assistance with SEO , let us know.

    best of luck!

    It depends what kind of traffic you want to buy, there are some ways to mislead people by popups, automatic redirections and this can be very bad for buyer. But if you can buy some traffic by it's natural flow, there is nothing bad. So... There is good and bad traffic.

    Buying traffic is not really good... Please do SEO for your site, then after getting rank you will get lots of targeted traffic..

    Getting the word out is one thing, but having to pay people to see it is another.

    If you have to pay someone to visit your site you must ask yourself if your site is worth visiting.

    Think of it like the theater. No one is going to see your Play if no one knows it's going on. Buy a few ads in the local paper (on in the case of the internet, buy a few links) but if you have to pay people to see it how do you think the reviews will be?

    Buying traffic - just to add to the chorus - is a waste of money.

    It does not help in SEO. If you are store owner, buying traffic via google adword etc may help but if you are webmaster, i would suggest link building. Organic traffic from search engine is the best, and..it is free. :)

    Conclusion: Traffic is irrelevant in SEO.

    If you do plan on paying for traffic please note that adsense will ban you for doing so (assuming you are putting adsense on your site).

    Also, keep in mind that when it comes to payed traffic, you get what you pay for. You will see many places advertise 10,000 uniques for $10; this is garbage, untargetted traffic. If you are selling a product(s), you will be lucky to get a single sale out of those 10,000 visitors. If your site is selling something, go with google adwords. It costs far, far more per visitor but the conversion will be far, far better.

    I'll say it again; when it comes to payed traffic, you get what you pay for.

    Hi, paid traffic has got nothing to do with SEO.

    SEO focuses on onpage and offpage optimization. Onpage refers to the relevance and uniqueness of content on your website, keyword density, meta-tags and so on. Offpage refers to your link building. Acquire good quality backlinks from authority sites, ie high PR, respectable ones and your website can rank in the search engines.

    Search engine traffic are one of the most laser-targeted traffic you can get around.

    You can download a free SEO ebook worth $97 from this blog that covers SEO techniques and reviews the tool SEO Elite. :)

    Traffic buying wont benefit you on SEO grounds...

    But, if the traffic gets you revenue, then its fine to have paid traffic..

    Buying Traffic? Such a bad Idea.

    It will not help you in terms of SEO at all.

    Buying traffic may be fake many times. If you want your site to get displayed in web and reach millions of visitors then do some good SEO, and avoid buying traffic as it will be for a short term.

    all the best :)
    regards

    uhh buying traffic is great.

    Try

    adwords.google.com
    contextual.v7n.com

    or any type of contextual or ppc service. With enough tweaking you can get great results. This is how I do most advertising. PPC won't help or hurt SEO, though contextual links will help lot if they are long term.
