Traffic sources aren't magic. Everyone is going to spam their shit, but the truth is - its a science and has to be treated as such. Traffic prices are based on supply and demand. That means that when you fail, you are not understanding how others are succeeding under the same conditions. 95%+ of people in this biz will never accept that. If you can't accept that premise from the start, then spend your time and money on things you are good at.
