Where are you directing this traffic? Is it to a paysite, Gallery or a blog ?
Give us a link and I'm sure you'll get some help on converting that incoming traffic.Comment

All I can say is trial and error. Almost every pay site will have different results cause not all pay sites are the same. Some can make really good FHGs, but others suck at it.
My suggestion is that you send at least 1-10K to each type of landing page and see what converts better.Comment

Unfortunately I require all traffic sent from my site to goto actual content pages as I don't want my surfers mad that I'm sending them straight to pay sites, or to stuff that doesn't reflect what they are clicking on.Comment

what could you do with chinese popup traffic?
traffic quality has gone down quiet a bit for me. I used to buy traffic from brokers and make a decent return from it. Within the past 3-6 months, Im lucky to break evenEmail: Clicky on MeComment

Why would anyone sell traffic for less, when they could convert it themselves for more?$9.95/month for 15000 GB bandwidth monthly, unlimited (sub)domains and MySQL5, PHP4/5, 500 GB disk storage!

I've converted. There is a method to make this work, and a reason to do it - but if your buying skimmed traffic from a tgp/mgp with all china (3rd world county traffic) and sending it anywhere - much less your paysite - your fucked. Also 70 for 7K is insane prices, way too high - you paid 3-4x's too much.*** Andrew Love ***

After thinking about stuff, if he wants to convert it, obviously throwing the site in the surfers face isn't gonna do that, so I advised that clicks would be better then popups.Comment

The traffic is coming from my babelog site that has almost 50% search engine traffic, not tons of traffic, but good quality traffic, and right now we're testing sending to a ulust page.Comment

Word!
I've seen a lot of experimenting with buying from traffic brokers, Search Engines and etc. and it's WRONG to state that only sending to tour directly works or only sending to cams works.
If you're buying skimmed traffic as a feeder for example, you can't expect profit right away until the increase of traffic boosts your SE rankings and you start receiving quality traffic from search engines. This way it serves as "investment". But still I have a lot of examples of people who work with narrow niches and they manage to convert skimmed traffic and make good profit from it.
I have examples of people who tried to convert low quality traffic through a fake TGP, but it didn't work at all at first. They kept trying and didn't say that the traffic is bad. And you know what the solution was? Slightly adjusting their thumbnails from hardcore to extreme and their ratios started to rock.
What I'm saying is:
1) Analyze sources of your purchased traffic, some traffic brokers publish the lists of the sites they work with. That will be a good help in targeting.
2) Play with your landing page. Try different marketing strategies.
Eventually it will pay off (quoting U-Bob here) "if you know what you're doing"
Good luck

You can make a LOT and I mean %600-%700 ROI from broker traffic but you also gotta invest a lot and I'm talking thousands. No way you can get any meaningful results from playing with a few dollars worth of traffic, you gotta buy and buy a lot. The sales keep coming for a long time after traffic stopped, because of bookmarkers. The only thing you gotta be careful is that when the broker sees you keep buying big traffic he will copy your method and send the traffic himself.Last edited by The Judge; 12-31-2008, 09:05 PM.Comment

Why should it not work with traffic. People are convinced it works with content and look at how well we are all doing now.
That was me being sarcastic. ;)Comment

I've never understood why people always say "you can't tell on 1k of traffic" or something like that? Why, because the traffic you get is so crappy you really can't tell? because I've had multiple sales off less then 1k of traffic, so if 3+ sales off 1k, becomes 30+ sales off 10k, is that enough to gauge or does it have to be 500k in traffic for you to fully figure out the traffic is worth something?You can make a LOT and I mean %600-%700 ROI from broker traffic but you also gotta invest a lot and I'm talking thousands.

If your traffic isn't complete shit, you shouldn't have to have hundreds of thousands of it to figure out if it's good or not.Comment

Because, considering all the variables involved, a 1K batch of traffic (or even 10K for that matter) is a statistically insignificant sample.I've never understood why people always say "you can't tell on 1k of traffic" or something like that?

If you paid $5 for 1K, then yes, you need to do a larger test.Comment

So, if he paid me $75 for 10k of traffic, and made 5 $35 sales which equals $175, more then double what he paid, it's not a good enough test to see if it's worth continuing with?
I fail to see how that's not a good enough test...Comment

The answer is "it depends".
I hate to go all mathemtically on you guys, but this is an excellent (albeit old) read on 'expected' conversion rates, and how much traffic to send for a real test;

Buying traffic is an art form.
I'm not good at that art, but I know damn well that somebody out there is and
they will continue to buy until the end of time.
People selling traffic aren't making their living off nubes, they are living off
regular buyers that have been buying for years.
I'm not willing to believe that people who buy traffic for years keep doing it
because they are stupid. On the contrary, they keep buying because they've
figured out what I couldn't.

READ this:
If you send 10,000 visitors to a sponsor and get 9 signups, then 68% of the time when you send 10,000 visitors, you expect to attain between 6 and 12 signups (6 +/- 3) and 95% of the time you expect to attain between 3 and 15 signups. The interesting point of all this is that the error depends only on the number of signups and not the number of visitors. Most people think, ok, I'll send a certain number of visitors to a sponsor and see how many signups I get. What you should be doing instead is saying ok, I'll send a certain number of signups to a sponsor to test them.Comment
