Did I get ripped off?

A solo ad provider promised 500 clicks and 150 opt-ins for $50. I agreed and have since received about 10 opt-ins in the last 48 hours. But each has a strange domain name. There isn't one email address with "gmail," "yahoo," or "aol."

Is it possible this person scammed me? How can I find solo ad providers by niche without having to join a paid membership site??

    It is possible. Keep watching. What are some of the domains you're seeing?

        Hmm... That does sound fishy to me. Did you pay the person with PayPal?

            Is it possible to find reputable solo ad providers in a specific niche, without joining a paid site?? I'm specifically looking for a marijuana related list.

              You are probably not going to find advertised solo's for that niche. you are probably going to have to find thes on your own. or use other methods of promoting your squeeze page

    sounds like the person did rip you off. i would recommend using udimi.com im not sure if they have the niche your targeting but its worth a shot.

    A solo ad traffic that gives out 500 clicks and 150 opt-ins for $50, it's too good to be true buddy.

    Haven't heard of that price. Taking care if you find some solo ad vendors provide that kinds of deal.

    500 clicks for $50 equals $0.10 CPC, which is not anywhere near industry average.

    Sorry to say that, but you got ripped.

    I would also recommend Udimi as they have a lot of good sellers and you will never get ripped off there.

    Look for Solo Ads sellers with testimonials but unlikely you'll get it as cheap as what you paid.

    You should be tracking your clicks so you know the IP, Country of origin etc otherwise, you may just be getting traffic from Countries your are not even targeting.
