The above is an extreme case obviously and the majority of bought traffic from brokers and networks cannot even begin to compete with the likes of such traffic as Google / Yahoo.

This statement is always mentioned... "if traffic was any good, brokers wouldn`t sell it" but nothing could be further from the truth.
Many times, brokers and providers just do not have the time to test all traffic particularly when you are selling several hundred thousand visitors a day. I myself send some traffic to programs but lack of time is not on your side when managing traffic effectively.

It`s also worth mentioning that traffic is used nowadays in so many ways. For example, people who purchase feeder traffic do so to build a general TGP. This is often blind traffic and obviously not recommended for tour pages etc.

Likewise you wouldn`t send targeted clicked search engine traffic to a gallery or TGP.
