Buying Traffic

[Perry321]

This is an old thread, but what the hell....

All you noobs who say that advertising, buying traffic, doesn't work, well, how many daily visitors do YOU have right now?

Uh-huh.

Wanna know how many visitors a site like, say, Askmen has? Yup. ... A LOT. They advertised, bought traffic.

How do you think the big sites got to be so big, anyway? *rolls eyes*

I especially loved the comments that free traffic is always better. Uh-huh. Yeah, getting miniscule traffic, a high bounce rate, and, very little to no sales is "great" alright.

I see DigitalPoint isn't the only board with such idiotic members.

Yes, there are many major companies that buy traffic in the millions. It still amazes me that when website owners purchase a product or service and does not get the desired result, the word scam comes out quickly.

As an owner of several websites, I take full responsibility when my programs work and when they don`t work. I have tried several traffic exchanges with very little success. I don`t scream scam, I look at what I`m promoting and then try to make proper changes to my site.

Well put.

Honestly, I have never had much success buying traffic. I find it hard to insure that traffic purchased is targeted, so I stay away from buying now and concentrate on driving it "organically" to my sites. Good Luck!

Hello, I have several websites and some of them sell the traffic you are talking about.

In my experience I had a lot of customers that were satisfied and many unsatified ones.

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want conversions go advertise on google, or buy at least 50.000 visitors because the conv rate is very low.

Most of the satisfied customer have indeed bought a large amount of traffic, and their satisfaction resides in the low price, in the alexa boosting and the general ratings increase due to the high level of traffic, and probably even some sales that happened because of the large amount of hits.

Back in the time we had a lot of customers that just wanted to show their boss a very high number in their visits counter. As I said, that traffic is good if you know what you are buying and you know how to properly channel it.

If you are buying traffic instead of doing seo for you site, prepare for an epic failure.

I wanna reply to all people telling that this service is a scam. There a very important thing i want to get straight:

You may get 0 results from this traffic, and that doesnt mean it's a scam, it's just a service that did not work for you as many others.

The only important thing is THE REFOUND POLICY.

I have refounded every single dime i was asked to refound from unsatisfied customers and we will keep doing so. This make the difference between scams and not-scams imo. Yes there is a lot of hype in those sites, but that is legitimate. As long as you get your money back when you ask them i really dont see a problem.

I hope I clarified you what this traffic is about. If you need more info feel free to contact me.

Have a nice day.

I am very sceptical, as clicktools are available all over the net - and why should one not use it to make money ? I bet most of these traffic sellers use clicktools.

Might just about be the only statement in this whole thread that makes any sense.

Here is my personal advice. When it comes to buying traffic, regardless of where that traffic comes from opinions and anecdotal evidence are WORTHLESS.

Tracking...testing...tweaking...knowing your maximum CPA for your offer...what you will pay per lead. Thsi is all that matters...AND when it comes to generating traffic, I buy all of my traffic.

Why?

Because generating traffic does not make me money...making sales makes me money, and I only spend time on the things that make me money...period.

Conversions are my responsibility.

If you are purchasing traffic at bulk rates your offer can be loosely targeted and you will still make tons of money. It just all depends.

Anyone who is doing 6-7 figures online is buying traffic, and looking to make the traffic they are purchsing convert even better than the last campaign.

I recently purchased some traffic in bulk that was very loosely targeted. In fact, my conversion rate was less than 1/2% traffic to lead...BUT, since my end of the deal (converting that traffic to sales) is solid, I paid less per lead on that campaign than any other that month.

Here are some bone crushing numbers for you...

The BIG BOYS are buying in bulk...I am talking in the billions and turning these billions of ad impressions into a million or more in profit...PER MONTH.

I don't care what anyone says...The search engines, including Google in its almighty power, only account for around 10-15% of the total traffic online. It may even be less, or a little more. I am sure it is no more than 20%.

The bulk of the traffic happening online is being generated differently. Media is purchased not generated for free.

Well said Adam, I said something to the same effect early on in this thread. I have been buying and selling traffic for a few years now. Some of my clients make money and some don`t. I have one client that has been with me for several years, left and then came back. She buys about 3 Million visitors every sixty days. I would think she would not purchase if it was not working for her.

One of the things I learned long ago was that you will spend less, and earn more just by taking the time to find the "sweet spot" of any traffic source.

You increase your ROI by becoming a master craftsman.

Going from a 1/2% conversion rate to a 1% rate is HUGE even when you are dealing in traffic by the thousands...now multiply that by hundreds of thousands.

I have yet to find a traffic source that I cannot take advantage of and win with...if it is at least semi-targeted to my offer.

Buying traffic is not a good Idea I think. Now a days there is many type of traffics like Targeted Niche Traffic, Adsense Traffic, Female Traffic, Male Traffic etc etc (lol) But its never work with me. Even i see some one buy the Adsense Traffic and got band from Google!

I really don't like to Buying Traffic. The real organic traffic is the best way to do long term Business. What ever u get, the conversion rate will be good then the paid traffic.

[ceweqsakti]

Good comment. I just woke up to four traffic orders totaling $400 bucks. Even Netflicks buys traffic.

Have a great week!

Not sure exactly what this means but it seems a bit nonsensical to me.

I get the feeling sometimes that way too many folks online see the search engines as the top of the traffic food chain and everything else is just extra.

That is just not the case. The search engines are less than 20% of the traffic online. You fight over that 20% and I will continue to do what I do best...market.

That means buying ad space, media, solo ads in highly targeted ezines, PPC, etc. and send that traffic to my highly optimized and targeted landing pages.

Also, even if you are not "paying" for traffic in monetary ways you are still "paying" for it...trust me on that...and it may end up being more expensive in the long run.

Um, what part of the following do you not understand?

Wanna know how many visitors a site like, say, Askmen has? Yup. ... A LOT. They advertised, bought traffic.

How do you think the big sites got to be so big, anyway?

Please tell me.

No offense, but I think you two noobs and all you other noobs here need to stay out of this and go back to your dead sites.

You can do it your self. You don't need to waste your money.

I'm not sure, but I think he meant contacting webamsters ourselves to place our ads.

That is what I do. I contact webmasters to pitch a proposal to place an ad in their site. The more sites I advertise in, the more money I make.

I can buy traffic, like the other successful webmasters are doing, but I just like to do things on my own.

The real organic traffic is the best way to do long term Business

And, uh, how do you know?

[asavantage]

it must be best to add links to site your self rather than buying backlinks. Can you tell me to 20 sites, with good PR, that I can quickly add a back link. What effect would an addtional 20 backlinks have on PR of my site? small or big affect? Any suggestions welcome, competing in a massive industry, which only has a few genuine sites...

[bauger]

Buying traffic is all about testing when you buy. It is hit a miss at times and you think you might get ripped off but it happens. Only way to know is look to see how the traffic is offered. You can always email these places that sll traffic and ask when it comes from.

[johnnywww]

the only times i "buy" traffic is with PPC. I cant trust those pop unders, etc... worthless in my opinion.

[Perry321]

You clueless noobs are thinking about "services" that are not liget. Hello???

And, uh, Google does not penalize a webmaster for advertising.

Jesus.

[anthony2313]

Buying traffic is always a good idea.

Paid traffic is better than the free traffic

because you can get it right away plus

you have control over it too.
