 Topic: Buying Traffic
Posted: 07 May 2005 at 11:39pm |

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.)

 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.

Exactly - it's a numbers game.

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.
