Am I Expecting Too Much?

I purchased a soload and asked if I could have traffic from Australia. He said he would do his best. Without any further communication, I started getting traffic to my site that was all from the USA. Have emailed and skyped him several times, with no response.

So my question are: is it realistic to ask for traffic from a particular country and if it is possible, where do you find people who have those lists.

All the usual directories don't publish this information.

    LOL someone read Clickbank's insights report and jumped on the bandwagon.

    And yes, you're expecting too much. Solo ads are tricky enough as it is, but you can't expect him to deliver traffic from a certain geographic location. You should have asked where his subscribers where from, before placing an order.

    Yes I did see that the CB report but it was more that I am also in Australia. I havent made any sales at all from the 2 soloads I have bought of US leads whereas all my sales (23) have come from Australian leads. So yes I am new to this, so all the advice i appreciated.

    Everyones in the industry to make money. If they're mysterious but follow up do business. If they are mysterious and fall off, they're takers and don't plan on giving more than they think they owe.

    Yes you are right. The lack of communication means that I wont be doing further business with him.

    Are you expecting too much?

    Of course not, as a customer those were your needs.

    However, based upon the answer the person gave told you...

    I could have probably said what was going to happen when he/she sent you traffic.

    Anywho...

    Most of the big-time sellers usually split up their traffic by Tier...

    That's your best bet for getting targeted clicks, just expect to pay more

      Thanks for the advice. I have seen a reference to Tier on the FB group. What does this mean?

        Solid solo sellers usually sell Tier 1 traffic: (US, CAN, UK, AU, NZ).

        I'm sure they have traffic from other countries, but Tier 1 tends to be in more demand (also costing more).

    I would take a look at Bing Ads.

      Have been trying to get a FB ad approved, with no luck at all. They say it doesn't comply but wont say why it doesn't.

      I considered Bing/Google Ads but thought that the competition would be too high as it is not exactly a small niche

    I know sellers who offer 100% USA traffic but I've never seen offers for 100% from other countries.

    I think for this you need to try other traffic method like ppc using bing where you can set your geographic yourself. I don't think solo ad would be the best bet for what your looking to do.

      Lesson learned there my friend. Solo ad providers can lie so ask questions and make sure they have legit testimonials or screen captures that other buyers were at least happy.

    you're not asking for too much...
    however in a normal traffic getting situation expect to pay more to only
    get traffic from a single demo.
