    this just shows that this service may work for some and not for others. my advice is that don't 100% rely on all the feedback on this service.

    OK I have one problem with the traffic, I sent two PMs to Mclaugh voicing my concern, one after two days when it became apparent that the traffic numbers weren't right and the other when the campaign finished.
    As he didn't bother to reply I figured it isn't going to be resolved so will post it here.

    I paid for 1000 visitors but according to my stats only 588 actually reached the page. That is a big discrepancy as 1000 was promised and this makes a rather dramatic difference to my bottom line.....turning what should have been a profit into breakeven :mad: .

    I do think Mclaugh is between a rock and a hard place in this situation but the issue has to be taken up with the company who supply the traffic and we can't do it.

    Col.....as for the Adsense issue......well I did just get my $5 back but Adsense is a pretty funny numbers game and can be up one week and down the next.
    This being a holiday weekend and good weather it is usually down.
    Have you noticed the discrepancy in the amount of traffic you are receiving as opposed to how many you should be getting.
    I think this is the major issue.....if I recieved the actual number promished to my page I would continue to buy traffic for all my sites.....over 50 in all.

    Cyclops,

    I am not sure I understand. If you paid for 1000 targetted + unique hits and on got 588, it is Mclaugh's problem to deal with. You should get what you paid for, as he is the one selling it. You don't have a contract or an agreement with the original company.

    I decided to take a flyer and test this on one of my sites to see if there is any value at all. How long does it take to get your e-mail? I signed up mid-day yesterday.

    Mclaugh is only a re-seller, he has no control over how many reach your site. However the people he buys the traffic from do.

    The excuse for not receiving the full amount of trafic is that a user cancels out the window before your site loads or the user is on a slow connection and the request times out.
    Now thats a copout, you pay for 1000 to reach your site so 1000 should reach your site. As I showed in my other post...thats the difference between profit and loss.

    I was up and running an hour after I signed up...Mclaugh must be on vacation :D

    Okay.

    Lets add something more to it.

    I had put statistics code on my site to track users, referrals and page views etc. (addfreestats)
    I saw there, the referral URLS of where this traffic was coming.

    I would have to sadly say that this is the WORST kind of traffic I've ever bought.
    Either it is not at all targetted or it is some kind of forced traffic.

    I saw in the stats that, EVERY VISITOR that came from this thread owner's advertisement, had only 1 page view.
    NOT A SINGLE visitor made more than 1 page view.
    This certainly means, the visitor was forced into the page and then either he was taken to the next page or he closed it.

    Any answers to this thread owner?

    Mine was a brand new site and received no other traffic at all. I did see where the traffic did view other pages, not many but some did and enough clicked on the Adsense ads for me to receive $5.03.

    But like I said before, you do have to have a vivid page that catches the visitors attention and they have an interest in the subject. If you don't they will click out straight away.

    If I had received 1000 visitors I would have been happy.
    How many did you receive Forumsolutions?

    There was no way I can check it and there is also no need when I get BOTS and nothing else

    but are you sure they clicked more than once on the site?

    Did you see referral urls coming from his advertisement having more than 1 pageview.

    There might be some problem, my teen forums isnt that bad that there wont be any person making at least 2 page view

    Sorry about that fellas. I was on vacation in Indiana. Family reunion on my wife's side. I'm back now and the current orders have been processed. I am now trying to resolve any issues that you guys may have.

    If any of you have paid for visitors and haven't received the full amount you've ordered I will take care of that and make sure you get what you paid for. Even if the cost is out of my own pocket.

    Stay tuned while I finish reading the posts and try to diagnose the problems.
    Thanks,

    Well I got all my traffic as asked, I am sorry to say but yes I did get the traffic and was pleased with the count that I got, I coulnt and woulndt say it was targeted traffic and that it was just traffic from a 15 sec page viewing site or something.

    So I would say that the only thing it did for me was lowerd my Alexa rank, but as promised I did get the traffic so I will say good luck to the future.

    Maybe lowering the price a little as I know of some one that can send 50,000 hits to a site for $20

    Hello Laurie,

    I am a traffic reseller for a company that has a network of several thousand affiliate members. These affiliates have websites. When people visit their websites, pop-unders are loaded. Those same pop-unders are where my (Pureuniquetraffic.com) customer's web sites are displayed.

    Thanks, good question.
