    Hi on my research for my blog i have joined 2 traffic software that are sold on ClickBank with high gravity.

    Auto Traffic avalanche (ATA)
    and Auto Mass Traffic

    And both are scams and not worth the 37 dollars. stay away from them.
    The first one is all about FaceBook ads, and the software only bring you some ads on Face book to show you how to build your own ads (you do not need a software to do so).

    The second one is about Pay Per Vew that I am sure most of you have tried with no success at all, it will only harm your server, and lower your authority be careful.

    do not use PPV not to sell ads and not to buy ads.

    Buying traffic is a risky business imo. It usually doesn't deliver anything except hits on the server. As well as that it can cost you your adsense account if you happen to run it on the site you bought traffic for. The only time I could actually see bought traffic being useful is plumping up a site's stats prior to sale but imo, that's dishonest so I wouldn't do it.

    why would anyone want to buy traffic unless they want to decieve clients?

    surely conversions is what you want rather than traffic??!!

    How long have you been in the business?
    Do you expect to make a load of money from the beginning without doing much work?
    I wonder because I see "Peon" under you name. If I am wrong in my assumption, sorry!

    If you're looking to make money off of paid traffic, it's going to be hard, it's hard to make conversions off of that

    yeah that's not really news. Most of these kinds of websites might not be "scams" but they definitely don't work the way they claim they do. I would never spend a dime on any internet marketing product or any produc that teaches you how to get traffic to your website. All of the information they provide can be found for free on forums like digital point, or you can just use google to find what you need. Essentially you're paying for them to do the research for you and bring you all the "marketing" and "make money online" tips. Big waste of money imo.

    Stay away from the cheap traffic sites (10k hits for $1 and similar), they are usually rip-offs...

    Thanks for the advice. I have only paid for PPC traffic via AdWords, Facebook, and banners on targeted blogs :)

    All the information on gaining a solid stream of traffic is available for free online , remember just because something is popular does not mean its useful.

    Products like these always remain popular but not to users but to them selves. So in order for them to reach their goals they are trying to say things that people wanted to hear and what to expect of course in way of convincing people to utilize their product. Business is business its all up to the monkey if it will fall for it or not.

    Yeah I've heard bad things about both of these products too. All of these recent CB products have been absolute scams and it seems most of them are just wasting people's money.

    While I agree that many of the IM products won't live up to the hype they claim (after all, sell the sizzle, not the steak), but just because their methods use paid traffic doesn't mean they're garbage. It's very, very possible to get a good ROI with paid traffic.

    Yeah, this crap was being talked about weeks ago. I can't believe that big marketers were endorsing and affiliating with these programs.

    This is the experience I had about one year ago. I bought 10k visitors and except server hit I got nothing, GA didn't even report most of it.
