Has anyone had a good experience with these types of websites? From my research most of this traffic is global and un-targeted.

    Don't deal with BS traffic. Quality results only come from quality web traffic. Crappy results come from crappy web traffic.
    I've never had good experience with these kinds of traffic services.

    If you're curious go ahead and test. $10 is a tiny loss.

    I totally agree with you!
    These traffic sites get you tons of web traffic just like those CPA **** weight loss rippoffs help people lose weight

    What a joke

      You do realise that the pill does actually help right... If you combine it with a good diet, exercise. It's basically like a supplement when it comes to weight loss, if it didn't do something and it did nothing, then it wouldn't be allowed to be sold.

    I tried it and out of 10,000, 742 were from the U.S. Although they strongly advised me to kick in a few more dollars and specify one country. I was trying to get signup for my ezine but got zilch.

    I have access to software that can send 10,000 visitors in a matter of hours but it is all bot traffic .

    Actually I haven't reloaded it since the great crash of 2-2010 lol. This traffic will be as responsive as any you pay for from these types of services .

    Save your ten bucks my friend .

    That kind of traffic is not even worth the time it takes you to order it. Don't waste your time, or money on it. I got a report many years ago that detailed how to generate that traffic. You attach some code to any site that gets traffic, and then for every visitor that site gets, you can direct traffic to ten or twenty or more sites. Totaly useless traffic as the 'visitors' never even see the site.

    I don't know if that is the method used by the vendor you are looking at, but there is not a hell of a lot of difference in them all. Bottom line, it isn't worth your time.

    These things still exists? It's interesting how many of these
    companies keep ripping off people and still survive. I guess the
    newbies keep feeding into these offers all the time.

    I got caught once, but that was 8 years ago--all Chinese
    traffic to my English site. Worst $10 I ever spent online.

    I never expected any kind of response from that type of advertising. I'm testing various means of advertising in order to put togther a list of advertisers that I can guarantee... just doing it on a month to month budget.

    Run as fast as you can. I fell for this when I first started promoted a program called GDI because their service was only $10 a month. I thought wow this would be great. But it did not work out. I ended up wasting a lot of time which in the end was a lot more than the original $10 bucks. Time is money.

    Hope this helps,

    RAPID MASS TRAFFIC THAT YOU BUY IS DONE WITH POP UNDERS. WHEN THEIR WEB PAGE LOADS, YOURS LOADS RIGHT UNDER IT. WHEN THEY X OUT OF THE FIRST PAGE BAM THERE'S YOURS. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE RELEVANT TRAFFIC, JUST TRAFFIC. IF YOU HAVE A HOW TO PLAY BASKETBALL WEBSITE YOU MAY BE GETTING VISITORS FROM A CATHOLIC CHURCH GROUP

      Caps key?

      In truth most of it isn't even pop-under traffic. They have a page with several too small to see Iframes so 1 hit to that page can hit as many of their clients sites as they like. The user never even sees the page.

      This is why you will see them often state they cant provide traffic to pages that break out of frames.

      I played around with this when I first got into IM several years ago. People would load some adult pictures onto a page, then add loads of tiny Iframes to sites they wanted too boost the hit counter on, then submit the page of pics to a free adult images site.

      Hey presto 100K hits in a week. No idea if it still works and I have no inclination to try and find out.

    Let's put this in perspective, buying traffic is smart as part of an overall web strategy.

    Yes, if you buy cheap traffic thinking your going to sell something or convert offers, your going to be disappointed but I have bought traffic from a Warrior and it has definitely helped to increase traffic rankings on the sites and that is what I was looking for.

    Also, I just found a site run by a very successful Warrior that sells traffic and bought a trial, also to increase rankings, and was very happy with the results, so have a strategy with your sites instead of thinking some cheap traffic is going to save the day.

    Normally I think this kind of traffic is total junk but something that I saw on Flippa really peaks my curiosity.

    There is a flipper there that flips these types of websites regularly for hundreds of dollars a pop. She guarantees her source and from what I can tell people are snapping up her sites left and right!

    Hint: Figure out what she is doing and you would have a great WSO...

    Take a look at her profile: http://flippa.com/users/359275

    It makes me wonder, is she a Warrior?

    Lots of people use fake traffic sources to boost alexa ranking so they can sell sites for more. They are usually generating the sales from a method they do not disclose and claim they are buying traffic for $10 a pop and making $200 in return. Where they may actually be operating at a loss.

    Most of these traffic comes from a bot, autosurf programs. So it's not worth it. It's just a waste of money.

    If it was a good traffic that converts why aren't they promoting their own offers, affiliate programs to these traffic. I bet they would make more money promoting affiliate programs themself than selling traffic.

    It's only good if you want to improve your site's alexa rank within short period of time and also for impression.

    Man, its rubbish. Don't touch it. Hell, give $10 to me if you just want to give $10 to someone for nothing.

    Better still give it to a deserving charity. The good karma you get will be worth more than the 'visitors' to your site
