Bought traffic does work. You should look for a few things when you buy traffic:
1) make sure it's "clicked" traffic (not pop-ups)
2) make sure it filters out "garbage" traffic (no cookies, chinese traffic, etc.)
3) some companies will allow you to buy "targeted" traffic specifc to your niche (teens, lesbians, hairy midgets...

)
