I've also bought from you guys, and the traffic was COMPLETELY USELESS. Now, I might have been unlucky - I didn't buy much, so that's always a possibility. However from all the other people who have posted here complaining about your traffic, that seems unlikely.

Contrary to Choker and Perl Mountain, I don't sell traffic, so don't even try to pretend that I'm posting this for my own gain. I do however buy traffic, and I've tested quite a few traffic sources. Yours is by far the worst I've tried.

I love Chokers traffic, and I've had good luck with Adult Traders, and I'll be testing more of the services on Chokers list. And though, as I mentioned, Perl Mountain's traffic wasn't the best I've tried, it was sufficiently good that I might buy from him again too.

Your traffic on the other hand didn't make an impact on my site AT ALL. Most of the "surfers" never even let the page load properly. Now that can be due to too aggressive use of pop-up's etc. that trigger people to close the window instantly, or it could easily be a hitbot (though I will say that I haven't tried to verify that, so that is just a possibility, not an accusation).

I use a couple of counters, as well as having my homegrown trade script track traffic and, the web logs themselves. Since the counters are far down on the page, the difference between the various tracking methods is a very god indication of how large percentage of the surfers let the page load. For your traffic it was less than 20%.

Productivity was less than 5%.

Maybe you should address the problems with your traffic instead of attacking your customers. If you filter your traffic and clean it up, and let someone trustworthy (like Choker) test the traffic, then maybe some of us here will be willing to try you again.

As it stands, however, I see your traffic as a complete waste of money.
