Hi, I am seeing lots of sites where you can buy like 10,000 hits for like $10 or something. I've been reading that a lot of these sites are fake, simply creating those visitors through proxys or something. Anyone know of any good reputable ones? Tom |

I've tried some and so far, I can't say anything good. It basically
looks like crap traffic. And I bought "targeted" USA traffic. My signup
conversion ratio doesn't look different. But then again I haven't done
any indepth analysis. Just casual stuff. And I already have enough
traffic to mask the small amount I bought. Don't get any untargetted China traffic - Chinese traffic is the WORST. Worth nothing. They haven't got any money to spend because their government is crap/evil and steals from (and tortures) them. (China rant over.) ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

 What is the point of buying traffic?The visitors are either computers behind rotating proxys OR visitors who only visit your site click a few things and then leave |

Well if I bought 10,000 visitors, if 1 of these visitors bought my most
expensive services I would of earnt my money back. 1/10,000 is an extremely low conversion, it might work. |

How can they be really genuine unless it's like a User Proxy of some sort that opens it up before they can do anything else. I doubt they can force anyone to go to your site. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Genuine as in popups/popunders/exit redirects etc. I want to test it, I know pops annoy people, but I'm sure a certain percentage will visit out of curiosity. |

A lot of bulk traffic is from expired domains. e.g. John types in some
search phrase (about HTML), finds site X, which links to site Y (about
ASP), but site Y is gone, has lots of links to it, and is now owned by
"Super Traffic", who redirect traffic from Y (an ASP site) to your
"computer" site. That's how they determine "targetted" traffic, in a
nutshell. Targetted US traffic is more expensive than others. Traffic from China is abundant, but worthless. Try out some and see if it works for you. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

I just used one with targeting. trafficsupplier.net. Their delivery is
SLOW - 1 month, and looks like it will take longer. 1 month is
standard, but it's the fact that it will take longer for them to
deliver it that is a problem. I only ordered 5,000 as a small test.
Looks like it has had some effect, but not much. I think that might be
because the speed is slow and masked by my current traffic. I'd need to
order a lot to notice a difference. I've only got about 20% of the
order so far and the order was about 3 weeks ago. I need faster
delivery than that. But it does look like the hits are real. If they
could deliver quicker, I'd probably order more. Other things I've tried were horrid - not worth mentioning. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

| Slow delivery is good, probably means it's genuine! |

| Ok I ordered Euro/English Mixed, whatever that means (seems a little ambiguous). It's worth a test for $10, and anyway, the $ is really week against the £ so it's pretty cheap for me. |

| Hmmm wow it is slow, 4 have been delivered in 23 hours? It's going to take years at this rate! I guess they are selling more than they have. |
