Hmm.. You said buying traffic would get you 20,000 hits for the same money.

20,000 hits to a gallery isn't shit.

On average it can take from 10,000 to 100,000 hits to a gallery to get 1 sale.

It varies greatly with the targeting of the traffic and the quality of the gallery (both in its content and the layout).

So if you were to make a kickass gallery about a LightSpeed pool party and it was on a website that dealt with teens getting wet.. sure... 10,000 hits and you have a sale... perhaps even less.

But the same gallery on the hun where people more often expect hardcore porn and freakish shit, this gallery might require 70,000 hits for a sale.

That means someone is running through your BW for 70,000 hits... That is a lot of BW... But if you can still make money, great...

So you buy traffic for $20 at 20,000 hits... and this traffic is usually really shitty no matter what the 'salesman' tells you it can do, and you make 1 sale per 48,000 hits... Cool. But it took 8 days to get all 60,000 hits you purchased even though they said it'd take only 2.

And that is $60 spent for those hits. Plus you spend about $5 in BW... And the gallery paid you $35. So now you are $30 in the hole...

Buying traffic is NOT how you make money on galleries.... It is how gallery traffic sellers make money on newbs like you.
