Traffic Buying Question - GoFuckYourself.com

POed-poster · 03-19-2005, 05:49 PM

I have purchased traffic for my TGP in the past but was wondering if anyone has had any success buying traffic and having it sent directly to your pay site. Who would be a good broker for this type of traffic?

Some of those keywords are expensive. I had a really bad experience with google overcharging me a few years ago.

Throwing random traffic at your site hoping you'll make sign-ups doesn't work. You need targetted/filtered traffic, although PPC can be seen as expensive it is the best thing for you. Google Adsense is your best bet, to prevent overcharging set a daily limit and tweek your keywords, don't expect to make a profit try to break-even first, then go for more ambitious words etc. Make sure you arent targetting generic keywords as well. I.E Porn. It's amazing how many people cry after their entire budget gets spent in a day, because they chose stupid keywords.

I have been around long enough to know the difference between targeted and untargeted traffic. I was talking about buying traffic targeted to my niche.

traffic brokers are all scammers. generate your own, and filter it.

Why do you need an intermediary here?

PPC margins are (usually) so thin, they don't (usually) leave much room for 3rd parties.

I'm gonna guess you already KNOW which terms are relevant to your product and which not.

Don't waste money chasing "might convert" terms -- when you can put that money into higher bids on terms that work.

buying traffic doesn't work, I've tried it a few times over the years, never got even 1 signup, when sending directly to a paysite.

Buying clicked traffic to a paysite is done all the time.
