Let me give you some free advice.

Up until 2007/2008 I had a TON of traffic (about 1.2 million uniques a day). And it was all REAL traffic from bookmarkers.
I NEVER sold the traffic.

Why? Because I could make so much money on that traffic that it would have been crazy to sell it. I did sell a few (9 to be exact) text links. But other than that...we kept it for ourselves because it was great traffic and very lucrative.

The moral of my story is: If the traffic has any real value...they wouldn't be selling it to begin with.

The traffic brokers and their hired monkeys will tell you I'm full of shit and give you a bunch of double-talk about how "Some people are much better at monetizing traffic" than they are so they sell it.

So what they are telling you is...they are too incompetent to work the traffic that they have.
But the TRUTH is...the traffic that they have is shit.

My free advice is: Don't buy traffic. The only way you're gonna make money in this game is to learn your craft. SEO, how to build a website, how to get search engine traffic and KEEP them by offering them things of interest. And then you use that site to make your sales to the sites you are pushing.

I've been successful a long time doing this. And that's my free advice. Good luck to you in the future.
