I have noticed that the thing with buying traffic (even so called "clicked" traffic) is that most of the "people" arrive at your site not knowing exactly where they are, and very often quickly close the browser or go back to where they came from.

If the desired effect of purchasing the traffic is anything other than boosting rankings you will probably be disappointed. You will also be disappointed if you look at what it does to your average time on site stats....if you actually care about that.

HOWEVER, in every group of people there are normally at few people who don't actually belong there, and it is the same with traffic. Sometimes you get lucky.

I have a pretty good tracking system in my site, and can tell you that recently I have spent small money with both Juicy Ads and ero advertising and in both cases 99% of the traffic was worthless to me but the other 1% paid for the cost several times over.

So conclusion? Try all types of traffic, but with low expectation AND a good tracking system.
