Why buy cheap traffic? How useful is it really to you?

    I noticed lately that many people on this board buy traffic. Some from Google, a reliable source of highly targeted but expensive traffic, and some buy 100,000's of hits for super cheap, from source like "pay to click" and such.

    My question is for the people who buy the cheap traffic: How are you making money from it? I know it's cheap, but is it really that valuable to you? Can someone explain to me how buying traffic can help you, espcially if you aren't selling a product on your site?

    Get more members, more ad clicks

    It all depends.

    Not necessarily, most just visit for that amount of time, get paid and don't bother to look at your site. I have made around $10 from the 1000's of visitors I have received from DP members, most (not all) have just wasted my bandwidth with nonsense traffic.
