Ah, one thing to review:
If they could sell you large traffic, why does their website had low rank of Alexa? Why do they need to use Google Adword earn each customer, or do they waste? Because if they own their real competence in Selling big traffic, they never need to pay for Google Adword anymore.

My friend tried this about a month ago. His site was display as a popup. He got 2,000 hits to his website and zero sales. He also got alot of spam from other traffic sites trying to get him to buy traffic from them as well.

I am sooo confused with all this, I have no idea what is a “decent” amount of traffic because there is nothing exactly like what I have on my site out there. We are a resource guide and make money after someone buys an ad on our site. I do not know if we charge enough or if we should put Adsense on the site. Is there somewhere I can go that will help me make sense out of the advertising angle of this business, we are only 9 months old. We are ranked on the first page of the Google search engine for our genre. How do I take advantage of this, or can I even? Help!

You can’t buy targeted traffic thinking more than 2-5% of it will convert. There is a reason that buying targeted traffic is inexpensive. You can get 2000 visitors for about $5. Of course they won’t all convert, but if you work with a quality supplier you will get real human traffic.

These things never do work. I have purchased a few here and there over a period of a few years just to see if any of them can bring me some traffic. After doing it a few times I have opted to no longer do this as it has never seemed to do anything for me because at least 80 percent is not even real traffic and the rest more than likely will just bounce.

Of course not every person that gets to your site via a popup or pop under is going to stay. But that is expected. The reason the paid targeted traffic sounds so good is because its very inexpensive. You can send thousands of visitors to your site for a couple bucks. If even one of those visitors buys something or now knows about your site when before they wouldn’t have its worth it. It exposure. Not saying it works for everybody, but its cheap enough to give it a try.

i would say if you where to buy traffic the best way to go about it is to capture their information when they visit.. for example.. make sure it leads them to a opt-in page and make some stupendous offer that they would be silly to refuse.. that way at least you can get some value out of that visitor and you can market to them over and over

As with anything on the web, not all things are created equal. I know of one instance where expired domain traffic to a weight loss site did generate nearly a new sale per day. Would I recommend the strategy? Probably not. But, sites like trafficswarm.com use full screen popups and they have been around for a long time. People are still using them.

Yes I would recommend adwords as I am currently using a system for a website (WotUThink.com) and the effect has been fairly average indeed.

I read your article,and it helped me to realize things when trying to pursue the dream of my own successful internet business. Getting everything to run smoothly is difficult, but I would like too, if I may, share something on here that helped me with my business and that might help others reading your article. I have discovered the use of MuVar and it has proven to be successful. MuVar is an interesting multi-variate testing tool that lets you break down web pages into sections, create different versions for each of those sections and test how well they perform. It has been proven to work. Thanks for being a great teacher!

I’ve been researching ways of pushing traffic to my sites and it all boils down to effort. These “fast traffic” schemes are no better than “lose weight fast” schemes or “make $10k in one month” pitches. Honest work is the real key to any objective don’t you agree?

I tried it to see what the effect would be (call it a scientific test) and while it ran up the uniques and improved the Alexa ranking the bounce rate was pretty much linear to the traffic.

I have never done it before, but I think it would be great if you could post the results here.

@Team ray, digg traffic is not that bad, some people have built large RSS readerships with it.

Any service or product that sounds to good to be true usually is, as much as people do not want to believe this when you are confronted with what seems to be a great offer its sadly the nature of business.

I wanted to try this once in order to get traffic to an adult site. I never did it tough. I’m not sure why. I suppose, I haven’t had the guts to throw my money away.

Even worse than the Digg effect, I should say. Some of them generate the “traffic”, most appropriately called hits, with robots.

This is exactly what stumbleupon ads do. They direct SU users to your site (without popups). I’ve been using it for a little while and the traffic boost is decent, though my stats haven’t skyrocketed (we aren’t putting a ton of money into it, nor are we using the targeting features).

Hey Daniel!
Save your money to buy traffic from Google Adsense to get more visitors come here and comment with us is better! (Joke ^_^).

Hey! Almost they are scammers. And I never seen any where send you real traffic as they promise.
They send you bots, waste your bandwidth and claim your money first at all.
After those days, if you have enough smart, you’ll see how in your analytics board.
IP: Only some.
Web browser: Same.
Screen: Same.
Time of visiting: Short.
Page view: 1.
That’s all I know. But, I am cock-sure there are some scammers working hard than this noob one that I was try. May be they have many different IP, Web Browser, Windows Screen, view more than 1 page…

I agree. Avoid targeted bulk traffic offers like the plague. Many of them freely admit that they utilize expired domains relevant to your site’s theme to redirect traffic to your site. When’s the last time you took the time to read an expired domain? Exactly.
