track with google analytics (maybe even set up goals)
then see the bounce rate by referrer and build a list of sites to block
good advice here for basically any traffic provider, when dealing with actual clicked traffic...

Traffic-Out Juicy Ads Plug Rush Buy FPC Traffic

etc... little easier to tweak as the quality is higher so less to eliminate. When dealing with cheaper skim, blind, popunder or less targeted traffic it can work but as previously mentioned your pages need to be optimized their best combined with some form of filter to eliminate referrers that are pure bounce. Clicked traffic versus skim/blind/popunder will show quite a difference in stats so you need to put the work in to optimize it, reason it's generally cheaper priced than clicked. For pure sales I would always go clicked, however skimmed, blind, popunder etc... has it's place if you have the patience to keep tweaking to optimize it to it's full potential.
