    So I bought some traffic

    from Choker and FPC Clicks. 40,000 to be exact. I had them directed to 5 pages, all gallerys made from lotzadollars. nastydollars, and perfectgonzo. Traffic was pretty evenly split. Not ONE sale! Am I stupid to try it this way. I had better luck directing traffic from my AVS site at 5 hits a day. I don't mind inventing in traffic, but to throw it all away with no sales is no fun. No fun at all. For instance, out of 8,000 sent to my Cumfiesta Gallery, 165 clicked thru to Cumfiest.com, 0 sales. The stats to the other pages are similar.

    So, am I sending traffic to the wrong stuff? Do I need to find more cutting edge sponsers? I want to spend some money, but I gotta know where to send it.

    Can you guys give me some ideas?

    I would have sent it all the same page

    Often times I wonder why
    There's love and hate, theres live or die.
    When sickness comes I must decide:
    When feelings go, theres suicide.

      So is 40K hits a drop in the bucket? Should I double it. I just thought that since all the sites were pretty much the same it didn't really matter.

        I suspect chokertraffic is not all that great. Just bought 5,000 hits myself as a test. 75 click-thrus to my programs, no sales. Time to find traffic elsewhere.

          Choker's gallery traffic didn't convert for me either...

            I just got email back from choker he says that I didn't buy nearly enough traffic. He also didn't like the gallery that Nastydollars had for my link. I didn't mention that there were others of you that were receiving zip for return. I'll see if I can get him to lend me a hand. Not much use in using the premade gallerys from the sites if they don't convert.

              ive tried choker a few times with mixed results... I'm not sure if there are certain kinds of offers or content his surfers like. im not sure about the perfect gonzo sites, but isnt cumfiesta a pretty saturated site?

              also, did you use sponsor content? how well designed were your galleries?

                I used their gallery maker. I wanted to have all the submissions as close to the same so I could make an informed decision. I figured even if I was using crapy galleries that with all the click thrus I should have sold at least one.

                  Ok, most sponsor hosted galleries for pay sites advertise 1:300 conversion ratios. Your conversion ratios are 0:40,000. That alone speaks volumes about the type of traffic you're buying. Be sure to read the fine print, LOTS of these so-called "traffic sites" are selling skimmed/pop-under traffic from 3rd world countries (visitors DONT have credit cards!). I'm not talking about choker specifically, but a good majority of them do. Your best bet is to buy tgp partner accounts on the top TGP sites for the genre youre promoting (hardcore, gay, cum, etc). This way the visitor gets exactly what theyre looking for rather than a blind random pop up.

                    perfectgonzo and nastydollars are the most overexposed sponsors on the web right now. Surfers are sick of givemepimk, cumfiesta, welivetogether, asstraffic, etc...... That, I would say, is your biggest problems. Surfers want something they havent seen before and something they cant get a bazillion other places!!

                        Can you steer me to a hand grenades throw of where to look? Do you like the hun? What is a reasonable amount to invest? By that I mean is $500 of traffic enough. Aldo I assume that sending them to a $35 a signup site is not as good as a 60% recurring? I must have "IDIOT" inked on my forehead, but I am really lost on this. I made some miney with an AVS or two, but this stuff is really out of my comfort zone. Any help, and I mean any is appreciated. If you want to steer me to a program that I don't have with your ref code I would be happy to sign up.

                        Soon my wife is going to make me get a real job. You would really save me!

                          buy traffic to feed your tgp and your trades, submit your galleries to some of the bigger sites and get their "free" traffic to your gallery.

                            guaranteed listings

                            You can get tons of traffic through folks like www.gallerytrafficservice.com. Or just do some research, pick up the phone and call the number from thehun.com's website. I think a month on the hun will set you back about a grand, don't quote me.

                            Is it worth it? Well that's the million dollar question.*

                            When you ask about someone like choker's traffic (just using his name, not picking on anyone specifically) what you have to realize when you buy traffic from someone with the specific intent to send it on to pages and get signups what you're saying is this:

                            "I can make MORE money off YOUR traffic that YOU can!"

                            It's sort of a philosophical way of looking at it. Think of it this way, if you're not putting something of yourself into the effort, it probably won't work out. Choker (or whoever) has probably come to the conclusion that he can make more money selling traffic for various other uses instead of sending traffic to free hosted nastydollars galleries (for example). If it were that easy, Choker would just send all his traffic all the time to all these generic hosted galleries and then go retire somewhere sunny and knock back boat drinks.

                            *Buying spots I would assume (never done it) is going to be more quality traffic b/c it's not skimmed. Someone read your description, liked it, clicked on it, actually got to your page, and now ya gotta sell 'em.

                            The ratio of clicked through traffic to signups can be as high as high as 1:5, no kidding. I mean this MAY mean that 100K click on your gallery page, and only 100 click through to your tour, but if you're doing it right, you'll get 20 signups off those 100 click throughs. By doing it right, I mean having a good design, and a unique concept, and a little luck doesn't hurt.

                            It'll be interesting to see how many people call bullshit on my 1:5 ratio. I really don't care

                              you dont make sense

                              40k traffic to galleries, lets' say 4% CTR on galleries = 1600 clicks to paysite = 0:1600 ratio, not 0:40000

                                per sign up usually makes more than recurring
