We had some of the biggest sites in the world for about 10 years. We never sold traffic. The Hun never sold traffic.
We all sold text links, banner spots, and gallery placements. But the main emphasis for us was ALWAYS on selling memberships. So your off base by your statement. The only "big" sites that sold "traffic" were the ones whose numbers were artificial from all the circle jerking they were doing back and forth. And trust me...I dealt with all of those circle jerk sites at one time or another because they would send me 100,000 hits a day in return for me to give them an honest text link that might generate them 4 to 5 thousand uniques a day of actual surfers.
And after seeing what their traffic was...I without fail would write them and end our agreement. What use was 100,000 fake hits to me? And in return I was sending them 4 to 5 thousand unique pieces of gold.
