AdBuyTraffic.com questions... - GoFuckYourself.com

Tanya · 11-04-2002, 11:59 AM

I decided to try AdBuyTraffic.com to get some extra traffic sent to my site last week. Nothing big, just 10,000 hits to see if these services worked. My campaign is still going so I am still not sure...

Here is the question...
Suposedly they have 1000's of domains under their control and when one get's hit, my website becomes a popup. I didn't see anything near the amount of traffic that I paid for and asked them to "show" me one of their domians that they have under control that "pop's up" my website.

They could not show me any domains that do this... Not even 1...

Even with their amazing technology, I found it odd that their systems were "limited" in being able to provide this extreamly simple information...

Does anyone find this odd? Can anyone elaborate as to why they were not able to?

Thanks.

LOL,, you got scammed,, do a search on this board bout them

Tanya · 11-04-2002, 12:10 PM

Damnit, are you serious? Fuck!

Tanya · 11-04-2002, 12:11 PM

ARE THERE ANY REPUTABLE TRAFFIC GENERATION SERVICES?

THanks

greentea · 11-04-2002, 12:12 PM

Its all hitbot traffic

multisexsite · 11-04-2002, 12:14 PM

I didnt get much traffic from them very quickly at all, bought 10,000 hits over a month or something, complained, and they called me up and asked what was wrong and offered me a refund for the remaining traffic... thought that was pretty cool.

Tanya · 11-04-2002, 12:15 PM

Please don't flame me but what is hitbot traffic?

Mogul · 11-04-2002, 12:33 PM

basically computer generated hits. You would have been better off keeping your money and hitting the refresh button a few thousand times.

They are big time scammers. It usually pays to research before spending money with any traffic broker ESPECIALLY porn ones.

Good luck.

If you paid via paypal or CC, you might be able to get your money back. You may also want to report him to the FTC, paypal, and anywhere else he takes money from.

Here i'll do this for the people using the search feature.

ADBUYTRAFFIC.COM = SCAMMERS

ADBUYTRAFFIC.COM = HITBOT TRAFFIC

ADBUYTRAFFIC.COM = DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

http://www.adbuytraffic.com = scammers

Tanya · 11-04-2002, 12:50 PM

Thanks for the spreadsheet.

Adbuytraffic just forced a refund on me based on the 3000+ hits that they show instead of the 202 hits that my log files show.

I just put through the full refund request to pay pal.

Can I get in trouble for posting my experience on my website?

XXX_Jman · 11-04-2002, 01:14 PM

I made a very wise decision.....bought 50k hits from them a while back.
Not one signup..
If you ask about cancelling, they hit you for a cancellation fee ++

Scully0325 · 11-04-2002, 01:19 PM

Hi Tanya - yikes.. yep, they are BAD news. For a viable alternative check out my sig. Glad to hear you were able to get some $ back though. They suck!

Tanya · 11-04-2002, 01:24 PM

Yep, my refund was pro-rated on their "false" 3000+ hits as well as minus 15%. Total rip off artist's!

Well, then let me ask you the same question I asked AdBuyTrafic. Can you show me your "work" first hand. IE. if I am a pop-up somewhere, can you show me the popup?

Thanks

bawdy · 11-04-2002, 01:37 PM

Tanya chokers traffic is some of the best you can buy for the price.

Depends on the type of site you have... dont think he will send directly to a paysite you need to be either a TGP or buy a galleryspot...

check him out and use the link Scully0325 provided, no one make any money refering ppl to choker

Scully0325 · 11-04-2002, 01:41 PM

Hi Tanya - I don't own the program but have had good results with it, know the guy who does and let others know. It is NOT a popup (which is good in my opinion) people just get pissed off at those and close them right away anyway. At least I do. It is a blind link in a gallery. I have found it exposes me to some traffic I might not have otherwise been exposed to because the surfers seem to like my site and click around alot. Hope this helps. Here is a sample gallery..http://www.sexsweety.com/free/scully/baaou.htm the surfer sees this gallery because it is on MANY tgps, then they click for example, the "Wanna Get More" or the "Best Catalog of Porn Sites" and they will be taken to your TGP for example or someone elses who bought traffic. Hope this helps.

Sunshine McGillicutty · 11-04-2002, 01:48 PM

Go with Choker.

I'm on my second block of 100k hits from him. This time I overpaid by $25 for the 100k because I didn't know he was having a sale, so he hooked me up with 133k. Very cool.

Scully0325 · 11-04-2002, 01:58 PM

I agree with everyone else as well.. Chokers is GREAT - been working with him for a while now. But if your site is NOT a Freesite, try the other.. I like to try several things, it keeps the traffic you get fresh, new people exposed to your site if you buy a little here and there good luck to you Tanya

Tanya · 11-04-2002, 01:59 PM

Well, if I get the "tits" up to try it again, I will go Scully's way.

Unfortunately, the bad eggs ruin it for the good ones. :-(

No, mine is a pay site, just wondering if it fits in with what he has to offer even.

Remember, me? I asked everyone what they thought of my site 2 weeks ago and everyone told me to go slit my wrists for even considering putting up a site. :-( I didn't btw.. :-)

D_Nell · 11-04-2002, 03:13 PM

CDSmith · 11-04-2002, 03:30 PM

I tested adbuy too, I bought 50k hits back in the summer. I also had hits coming in to similar pages from choker and a few of my other paid traffic sources, and there was no comparison. The adbuy traffic had minimal productivity, while my other sources sent their usual good quality.

From the adbuy traffic my site saw minimal clickthrus to my trades and sponsors. Sales? Forgetaboutit.

Tanya -- I have some solid proven sources of paid traffic, please check out the link in my signature if you'd like to explore it further. I'm sorry you got burned.

MarcWomack · 11-04-2002, 03:32 PM

We've got traffic available at Traffic.ConsumptionJunction.com , but it really depends on what type of traffic you're looking for. I divide traffic into high quality and low quality based on conversion rate. Low-quality traffic isn't necessarily bad, it really depends on your bandwidth rates. Low quality traffic comes from TGP's, 404's, and spawning exit consoles. I usually see conversions in the 1/1000 to 1/5000. If your bandwidth is cheap, it might be worth it. I've got a couple customers like www.karadavis.com and www.projectvoyeur.com that are doing well with it. Their bandwidth jumped up 50mb/s or so, but they've got a good deal on it.

We, on the other hand, sell the high-quality traffic that converts usually around 1/250 for good sites. Often, I get potential customers that can't afford our pricing. I typically refer them to CD Smith and I've gotten good feedback from them. You can get in touch with him here:
