So you are accusing people of sending you fake traffic because you were unable to convert the traffic or to put it to good use...? :Oh crap

I don't see why traffic coming from a TGP should't work on a blog.

The first step in converting (any kind of) traffic is understanding your traffic. (language, country, origin, expectations, previously visited sites,...)

Some kinds of traffic are harder to acquire but easier to convert (targeted SE traffic for example), other kinds of traffic are easier to acquire (bought/skimmed traffic for example), but harder to convert

You got to be creative and think outside the box, I mean really outside the box.

creativity is the keyword here!

says more bout the average webmaster than the traffic sold by traffic brokers. It's a well known fact that 93.7% of all 'webmasters' will never make any real money.

The reason most people sell traffic: Guaranteed (and instant) income.

Plenty.
I could write a book on all the techniques I and others have used to make productive use of paid traffic, and believe me over the last 7+ years I have bought thousands worth.
I can think of very few instances where I would send paid traffic directly to a blog. None involve adult.

I'm not saying you are guilty of this, but some idiots think it's as simple as slapping some banners and links to FHG's on a site and it will be enough to magically convert traffic purchased from brokers. Such idiots don't have the wherewithal to realize that maybe it is they who don't know how to convert traffic to signups and instead blame the brokers, call them scammers etc.
Buying traffic and actually putting it to work for you is a science, and learning that science is on you the buyer, not the broker.

I agree with CDSmith; there are tons of ways to make good use of bought traffic. During the second World War, scientists invented a kind of silicone plastic that at first seemed totally useless. About 10 years later a guy started selling it as a children's toy (silly putty). Using bought/skimmed traffic is just like using any tool/idea/resource/... in this world (not just adult, not just online marketing,...): It requires 2 things:
1. hard work.
2. creativity.
to make money.
