Traffic, to pay or not to pay...

    This is for people who are not to know......

    STAY AWAY FROM PAID TRAFFIC!

    I'm talking about the sites promising tens of thousands of "REAL" visitors to your site. dont bother - 99.9% of them are all fake.

    Been speaking to another website owner this morning who has paid £200 per month every month for the last 7 months for traffic, only to find out all his so called visitors are in fact robots. And ended up paying more for SEO (that he didnt need) because surely 50,000 people should at least make a few orders.

    And he can kiss his money down the drain because he paid by PP and they dont cover this if it comes to dispute.

    Seen a few others now using re-directs to push visitors your way, another waste of time!

    Stick to getting real links and optimising for real visitors.

    Any idea where can i find the 0.01 ? :)

    The best is to try out for smaller packages before investing £200 . Paid visitors will never have the value of natural hits of course , but in some cases if it brings profit it's worth a try .

    50000 unique targeted real visitors will make you somewhat rich overnight. Sure it's scam because who will sell such tactic for peanuts.

    Yes that is true... If you want traffic just try some free ways... Start off by getting it into as many directories for free... And work your way from there...

    Yes, people especially on DP first need don't fall for low prices, but discover why it's so low actually.

    :p of course most of them don't work.. just think: if they could generate REAL quality traffic, why wouldn't they just apply this to their own sites to make more $$? :p

    Paying for traffic is stupid

    SEO is the key

    You should try not to purchase traffic.

    Try some free ways to get traffic to your site... it isn't hard!!!!

    It is fine to pay occasionally, just don't start off from paid traffic.

    Also try to avoid the scammers. :)

    If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
