Lots of people originate this traffic, but even more pass it along more or less innocently. It's everywhere. Which means that if only some webmasters start to filter their traffic, they will kill or seriously reduce most of their trades, losing the good traffic along with the bad.
Only 40% ... hahaha I wish I had half my money back spent on worthless traffic.

Whenever I buy 100k hits the best I hope for anymore is 15k of them to be any good.

This is why people like choker go on vacation every month. It's like selling air.
