Are all the buy-traffic sites scam? Are all sites use Bots / PTC / PTR to generate fake visitors?<br />
<br />
Is there any legit, quality traffic generating site who can send someone who can read / act at least for 2minutes on any site?<br />
<br />
Please do not post overview .... I need to know personal experience</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi all,<br />
<br />
I'm just starting out trying to drive traffic to my new site, and I just wanted to let everyone else know about 2 sites that have driven an unexpected amount of traffic to my site.  It hasn't been a huge amount of traffic, but it has been a very high % of visitors...<br />
<br />
The first site is <b><a href="http://siteslike.com" target="_blank">http://siteslike.com</a></b><br />
<br />
This is a site dedicated to grouping sites that are &quot;like&quot; each other.  I'm actually getting some traffic from this, and the bounce rate is pretty decent.  All I did was find some sites similar to mine and ad my site as a &quot;site like&quot; those sites.  It's driven WAY more traffic than any of the free directories I submitted to (yeah, way more than none).<br />
<br />
The second site is <b><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/" target="_blank">http://news.ycombinator.com/</a></b><br />
<br />
Hacker News.  Very similar to Digg and especially Reddit but seems to be targeted more towards people who know computers.  Before discovering this, I would submit my articles to Digg and Reddit but I never got any traffic or any love from them.  I assume the more mainstream people just passed over my material because it was too niche specific.  <br />
<br />
Sorry if you already know all about these, just thought I'd share some sites that have sent me a lot more visitors than I expected.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I want to increase traffic to my website (see signature for website). The only way I am advertising at the moment is by signature links on forums like this one, I find this to be very slow. So I am venturing out and trying other techniques which have been posted on this forum. I have a few questions on these techniques. <br />
<br />
I want to write articles:<br />
<br />
1. Where can I do this? <br />
<br />
2. What do I write about? <br />
<br />
3. Is putting a signature at the end the only way to advertise through articles?<br />
<br />
I want to create a blog:<br />
<br />
1. I have no idea how blogs work, so how do they? <br />
<br />
2. Should I create an RSS feed on my website and would this link to my blogs? <br />
<br />
3. How to blogs increase traffic? <br />
<br />
4. And where do I write a blog? <br />
<br />
5. I've just signed up for a blogger account, but don't know what to do with this. Again what do I write about in this blog?<br />
<br />
Any help I'll be very grateful.<br />
<br />
LIYD</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>This is an interesting post I found on another forum, thought people should read this...<br />
<br />
After making a reasonable amount of money through ebay affiliate sites, i decided to take things up a notch and give DPBUK a try. I'd first seen their website 2 years ago and after seeing they were still in operation on the same domain I figured they must be a pretty safe bet.<br />
<br />
I sent them my £100.00 signup fee by paypal and waited for it to clear. Two days after Paypal had informed me the payment had gone through I still hadn't heard from dpbuk so sent them an email on the 4th September. They replied saying they had no record of my payment and asked for more details so i phoned them up. They were very helpful and polite but it still took them a couple of hours to locate my payment in their records.<br />
<br />
Anyway, once that was sorted out, they set up my account and I cheerfully went off to their site to choose my first website package. I decided on a store selling inkjet cartridges and paid them a further £86.00 for a new domain, a years hosting and my new website. No problem. That was sorted out instantly and I then received an email from dpbuk telling me to go to the website of their injet cartridge supplier and set up an account with them.<br />
<br />
So off i went and on the supplier's site it tells you to email them to set up an account. I sent the email but 24 hours later i had received no reply so I sent a second one. Yet another 24 hours passed and still no reply so this time I phoned them. The guy at 'Wholesale Ink' told me they had not received an email but very kindly set up my account over the phone. <br />
<br />
I then started asking him questions about how it all worked. The order processing, etc. He told me there was way to much to explain on the phone because we would be there all day and i should wait for the information email that should be on it's way which would explain everything.<br />
<br />
I'll try and condense this next part. That information email NEVER arrived. Over the next two weeks i made repeated phonecalls and sent numerous emails requesting this information to be sent. I even gave him no less than FOUR different email address to send it to. On each phonecall he told me it must be an auto responder problem and eventually avoided my phonecalls completely.<br />
<br />
The only course left open to me then was to get dpbuk on the case. I emailed them asking them to tell their supplier to send me the info, which they did (they CC'd me the email they sent to 'Wholesale Ink') but again, no reply.<br />
<br />
This was now three weeks after I initially got my account with dpbuk and so I requested dpbuk refund me the £186.00 I had paid them. They sent me a very short reply simply stating that their T&amp;C's clearly state that no money is refundable after two weeks. At this point I got on the phone and let rip on the poor girl that answered. She eventually passed the phone over to the boss who was full of apologies and finally admitted that they had been aware of problems with this supplier for a few weeks and were in the process of changing over to a new supplier.<br />
<br />
He then told me he would get on to the new supplier to contact me and set up an account with them but that the xml feed for the new supplier had not yet been set up with our websites and would be a couple of weeks. As I had no other choice, I accepted this course of action and sure enough, within 30 minutes, a very helpfull guy from the new outfit called me on the phone, took some details and sent me the paperwork to set up an account.<br />
<br />
That account is still set up but three weeks later, there is still no xml feed to my site. After emails about this to both dpbuk and the new supplier, all i've been told is they're still waiting.<br />
<br />
The bottom line is that after paying dpbuk £186.00, what I have to show for it is a website that is still dead in the water some SEVEN WEEKS later. Not only did they take my money for a package they KNEW they were having problems with, they refused me a refund and have not once offered me anything in way of compensation.<br />
<br />
And just to add the icing on the cake, the following statement is plastered on their website in big bold letters.....<br />
<br />
Start Trading in Just 30 minutes<br />
<br />
NO STOCK REQUIRED!<br />
<br />
NO BIG OUTLAY!<br />
<br />
NO PREMISES!<br />
<br />
NO HASSLES!<br />
<br />
<br />
Err, yah!</div>
