    Is it still a good idea to purchase PPC traffic for free sites?

    I haven't purchased Pay Per Click traffic in a few years. Is it still profitable to purchase PPC considering that the minium bidding price on alot of them increased to $0.05/click?

    Do the math: how many clicks you need for conversions (i.e. what conversion ratio you can have from a free site), and how much that would cost you on average (for what you earn), and you have the answer. Most likely, not profitable.
    $9.95/month for 15000 GB bandwidth monthly, unlimited (sub)domains and MySQL5, PHP4/5, 500 GB disk storage! ; use any of these invitation codes: 216263692101; 408636009193; 846090586647; my ICQ 30160426!

      The math gets complicated when you factor in bookmarks and increase productivities on the free site due to the PPC traffic

        The line between a free site and a paysite is getting rather blurried so I would say it's definitely lucrative still. Just limit the content, keep it softcore, and always upsell the member's areas beside every picture, etc...
