Please advise!
Why risk it? Judging by your post, you realize this is dangerous, why would you want to do it? What could the upside possibly be?
suggest that you generate traffic the effective way (and therefore non-risky). buy traffic schemes are, well, ineffective over long periods. press realeases, word-of-mouth, advertising in appropraite channels like adwords, etc.
If it's just proxy traffic, it may cost you your account....a lot of companies track what percentage of hits come from proxies and it is higher then a threshold, you get flagged.
A proxy is a middle-man computer you ask to retrieve pages for you. For example, if you ask Server A to get you a page from Server B, then Server A is a proxy for you. On top of that, you can do 'proxy chains': You ask Server A to ask Server B to get a page from Server C. In this case, Servers A and B are proxies chained together. There are many free proxy sites online. See http://proxy.org . Why do this? To protect your identity, although the IP addresses of popular proxy sites are easy to find out
I would think the answer to this depends on where you buy the traffic..I mean 1000 hits for 8 bucks certainly isnt going to be good quality traffic but it may be legit..i think alot of those places use a number of different methods such as pop-ups, pop-unders, clicking agents (using proxies), link dumps, and probably some other methods..As far as the question of will this get your site banned - i dunno
Mainly, I'm curious why someone who owns "seocraze" - and ostensibly knows about SEO in some form - thinks that 1000 visitors for 8 bucks is actually of value and spends a week discussing it?
I highly recommend against anything other than true content seekers in order to get positive promotion. In a recent study with a new blog of mine, my site ended up on some really ridiculous forums that had nothing to do with my blog. I ended up with thousands of impressions (the person who posted my blog was actually mocking it, heh) -- maybe 1500 page impressions in one day with about 1700 page views -- an average of 1.1 page views per page impression for the few days of popularity. My CTR was terrible, and the time my average user spent on the site was horrible too -- about 30 seconds average. A month later, I started to get some good links from user's e-mailing others about my blog (check the referral log for any webmail referrers) as well as users linking me in del.icio.us. My page impressions were way down from those busy 3 days -- maybe 300 page impressions per day. The actual page views though was WAY up -- around 900 page views. This means the average user read 3 pages deep before logging off, and my average user time spent was up over 4 minutes. Not only were users reading more than 30 seconds, they were reading deeper (and seeing more ads). The CTR skyrocketed at this point. Impressions mean nothing if your page views are 1:1 and your time spent average is under 2 minutes -- people don't care enough to stick around. Now into my third month with this blog, I'm starting to see no referral from many users -- this means they're using bookmarks or are coming to the site directly from their address bar input. This means people are returning, and that my content is what they're looking for. Even though my page impressions dropped, my quality of return users is way up. Don't think that quantity of users means ANYTHING -- quality is much more important if you want less work in the future. To grow quality users over time is much easier than constantly trying to find a new batch of 10,000 people who will mistakenly click an ad and never return again.
icare, my considered opinion is that that $8 would be a huge waste of money -- you wouldn't be wasting just $8, but all the adsense revenues you could have gotten, but won't because you're likely to get banned. I stay well clear of anything that even seems remotely dodgy.
I am not sure what the point is with "make believe" traffic. There is no fast and easy way to build REAL traffic. Build a site with good content, add new content all the time and find other sites that do the same to link to you. Take the eight dollars and buy a book so you can learn more and write more content or go buy lunch. Either one will give you a better return than buying phony traffic.
