Buying traffic for the most part takes great diligence, intelligence, skill and constant testing, tweaking and tuning and it takes a great deal of capital. Thinking you are going to just spend money and make money is like thinking you're going to wake up one day and win a 10k run simply because you decided to, in spite of not training for it or ever even running at all, much less possessing any understanding of any other component which affects the outcome.

This is not a business full of diligent, intelligent and skilled people. Its a business full of the lowest common denominator. It just a collection of retards bitching day in and day out that Google fucked them or that tubes destroyed them.

In addition to what you may or may not have think know or you've learned, there is also a small army of people watching every single ad, displayed on every single site in almost every single country... knowing the duration those campaigns have been active, what ad/landing page combinations are most commonly used and having a very good idea of how you made it work so that it can be copied, deployed and you can be outbid in minutes. Any and all of your success will be short lived because many people are going to rip off what you do and it happens very quickly. Ads/landing pages also get stale and great performance turns to average performance very quickly and it requires again a great deal of production, design, testing and deployment for consistently good results.

With few exceptions, if you are not spending 5 figures + a month on traffic, you know next to nothing about the game, about buying traffic and about how to make it work. You'd have to spend 1000s on traffic junkie for example just to learn anything at all. Then you'd have to make changes, and spend a few 1000 again,... rinse, repeat. 99% of people in this biz aren't capable of executing against formulas, analyzing data or of competent testing. If you've spent 100's or 1000's and lost a lot of money can called it quits.... well, congrats... you're in the 99.5%. Maybe statistics, testing and data analysis is just not your thing. Maybe there is a reason that the same relatively small group of people are buying up the vast majority of tube traffic at a premium cost and other ppc traffic and others aren't.
