Is anyone currently buying traffic from them to galleries?

hows it converting? can I expect to make my money back on 50k purchased to a decent gallery? Is this enough to "test the waters" or do I need to buy more to give them a trial run?

whats everyones opinion on spotbrokers traffic vs. chokers ?

I would buy a minimum 100,000.

I haven't bought any, but I would say it's probably worth it, especially when you look at which countries the traffic is coming from.

I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

It's all about CTR. If the galleries you give to us are too clean, you won't get great clickthrough and you won't make as much.

5% CTR with nothing blind is quite achievable. Some of our hosted galleries are doing it, and some people that are buying from us are doing that or better. But if you go ultra clean Hun-style galleries, you're not getting your best value.

Keep in mind that I _WILL_ reject shitty galleries or ones that are banner farms, but go aggressive.

And don't submit hosted galleries. Most likely they are already in our pool, and even if they aren't, surfers have seem them all before.

Also, don't buy 50k hits and then spread them out over 5 or 6 categories. You may make something with that, but it's certainly not a good way to test our traffic. ;>

Cheers,
Backov

Backov,

2? 3? I wanna make the best of this trial run because if it works out, you've got yourself a steady buyer. :P

If you're sure of the gallerys quality, then why not.. However, if you're unsure what kind of CTR it will get, then use multiple and see which one gets the best CTR.

One thing with only one gallery - the way the system works it'll take longer to deliver all the traffic to it. That's why we recommend 3-5 per category, and if possible they should be different styles, not all the same template.

Also, make sure you pick your niche carefully and don't just go with the one that has the most traffic. ;> Our niche traffic is gold with the right gallery.

Cheers,
Backov

What would be aggressive without turning the gallery to shit? I was thinking of trying your service, but I only know how to make clean galleries.

For that question, we turn to our resident gallery making expert, uh..

Oh shit, we don't have a resident gallery making expert!

I can only give you a vague outline really, ask Fletch or Tom (VA2k) about this sort of thing, they both do awesome gallery work.

Text is important. It has to be short and readable, but get them worked up. Content is important, has to be good but not TOO good, if you know what I mean.. Don't want him to get off. And the pitch for the site has to be good and consistent with the tour you're sending them to..

I am more a "know it when I see it" kind of guy. The whole "2 outlinks" thing is out the window with us - you can have as many as you like, but the gallery will be judged for subjective quality.

Cheers,
Backov

I bought some traffic over the past weeks and then won the 50k giveaway so I have had some time to tune what I have been doing with Spotbrokers.

Basically it boils down to having very high quality galleries representing fresh niche sponsors. It has to stand out.

On Saturday I used $20 worth of traffic on my teentokyo.com galleries and did 4 signups for $32.80. I rebill about 40 % on that site so I will probably do about $45.00. If you extrapolate that to larger traffic amounts the return is pretty good.

I did some of the larger sponsors such as BOB with more common style galleries and it went nowhere for me.

My .02 in here for anyone who doesn't have galleries -- va2k does an excellent job for us -- we've had some sites that we convert better than 1/100 on a nice CTR from the galleries already.

Not saying what sponsor since everyone's mileage may vary, but the quality of the galleries is a key...

The minimum deposit is $50 for traffic only purchases. We also have the gallery packages where we will build and host your galleries for you if you provide us with content and buy traffic in bulk purchases

To answer a few questions...

There's a min $50 deposit..

The traffic varies by category, check the prices from a link on the front page..

As for traffic - ya, having fresh galleries really helps. Some of the categories have hardened, jaded surfers, and some not so much.. The mainstream categories for instance, they've seen it all.. But the niche surfers can be amazing. Kim isn't kidding about that 1:100 ratio.

We're always working behind the scenes to improve traffic quality as well. Watching the traffic, seeing what can be done to improve it.

Yep, go to make deposit, you have the option to pay by Paypal or Epassporte.. They're both fully automated so once you make the deposit successfully the funds appear in your account.

Well I'm gonna try out $100 worth for shits and giggles.

Now if I can just get the fucking epassporte site to work. I get an internal server error every time I try to submit my credit card info.

Their toll free support number doesn't work, and when I did finally get through on long distance they just tell me to try again.

I'm sure there will probably be a separate charge on my mastercard for each attempt. Fuckers. (epassporte)

Thanks. I'm gonna try to sign up again tonight, so if it doesn't work I'll let you know.

They said it was probably just temporary server troubles.
