I bought some traffic - Here are my Stats
 

Since end of Dec. 2003 I bought some traffic from several sources.
Traffic sources are sorted by an undisclosed "magic" quality figure calculated from all other figures.

Do you believe this is a legit base for buying traffic in the future? Any comments?

<IMG Src="http://www.calitera.com/gfy/trafficstats.gif">

Explanation:

1+ Clicks: Percentage of visitors clicking at least one of the links on my site

5+ Clicks: Percentage of visitors clicking at least five of the links on my site

Different IPs: Best would be 100% different IPs

N. American: Anything else than North American traffic does not convert for me. If possible I am always buying country filtered traffic.

Fuck all that post how many sales you made off of each and how much you made per click or something like that.

Most of us already know that most traffic brokers sell shit skimmed reject traffic that they've already skimmed all the sales off of.

1) Sales figures are not part of this publication. Sorry.

2) I believe my figures show that there are huge differences in the value of some traffic. Apparently not all brokers sell shit. But some do.

Jenny, How was the ROI? Got the google screw and will have to buy traffic to get things rolling again.

Doesn't have to be sales figures. Was it worth it to you?

That's interesting..

According to your stats they all sold you shit traffic. A high CTR doesn't do you a lot of good when it's not coming from N America. And Google and Sex.com aren't considered traffic brokers.

:thumbsup

And the best place for good traffic?

The best place is to make direct deals on your own, but that's not always easy to do. The next best thing is to be a pain in the ass and make sure you can verfiy what you are going to get from a traffic broker but that's not always easy.

So ultimately you can make a little money off anything if you know what you're getting ahead of time. Bookmarkers don't hurt, and boune the brokers traffic and fucking sell that shit yourself back to someone else. And be wary of converting good on a small order with a traffic broker so that you're suckered in for a big order only to get fucked.

Correct. But as you can see there are some sources with lots of U.S. traffic ... and some with lots of Chinese traffic.

By the way: I am not saying Chinese traffic is bad. It's just bad for me.

I don't understand why companies (or people in general) consider customers who ask a lot of questions and request a verification or information on what they're getting a "pain in the ass".

If it were'nt for customers, those companies would'nt run. Plus, it's your right to feel comfortable before spending your hard-earned money.:2 cents:

Yes, and neither of them had over a 10% CTR. Like I said google and sex.com are not traffic brokers like the guys you see here selling traffic. You will get good CTR with them because you're not getting skimmed traffic from a broker.

Ultimately it's all about how much per k and how much you made off of it and none of this other stuff. Try sending it all to the same site, same tour from each different broker and spending the exact same dollar amount with each one and find out which one makes you the most money.

Yeah well you probably wouldn't buy if you knew what you were getting that's why. But even with shitty brokers you can still make a little money, it's all about knowing what you're getting from them ahead of time so that you can maximize it to work for you.

Good point. As a seller, how would you suggest for us to do that the best way possible?

I'm currently working on documentation to add to the site to help new buyers maximize the traffic they buy.

A lot of people think that when you purchase traffic, all you gotta do is wait for the money to roll in/trades to go up (whatever you're using the traffic for) - but there's much more to it than that.

This is the secret :thumbsup

its interesting
nice

Thanx ... you are welcome :)

Thanx a lot

most all traffic can be profitable. the best feature a broker can have(other than decent traffic) is good support. it's best to test a small amount then tweak your page to get the best bang for your buck. if it's not converting its good to be able to icq your broker so e can aprove your canges asap. it's your job to get te ctr up.

I would like to know what kind of traffic you brought from each broker.
To compair exit traffic from cj2 sites with target clicks from google addword, not seems fair to me.

If you have made sales with any of the trafficbrokers traffic it allso seems most fair to show that.

I agree 100%. So here is some feedback I got from hitsup.com, one of the poorest performers in my test:

Make your own judgements.

Here is what I received from e-webtraffic.com:
Not very helpful either.

Thanks for posting this. Very good information. Maybe next time you can be persuaded to provide your ROI with each campaign :winkwink: and what type of site was promoted (4free, pps or just trying to build trades for a tgp).

Pretty interesting..

How did you count Sexizty's hits? It says you're short almost 1500!
I buy semi-regularly from Carlos and have always received within
10 hits my amount. Were you made aware before tracking that
Sexzity hits come from serveral servers named and IP based?

Nice to see that we are on the top of your list, jennycards!

A ROI number would be nice to see, but I can understand your reluctance to provide one.

One thing that I caution all traffic buyers (and future buyers) of console (exit/popunder) traffic: In most cases, console traffic DOES NOT work when sent directly to a paysite tour. It needs to be scrubbed and filtered first. Console traffic will generate clickthrus, but it's up to you to "sell" it.

If you want traffic directly to your paysite, I always recommend clicked (preferably niched) traffic. If you're just feeding your TGP/CJ/toplist trading site, by all means console traffic is a good option, and probably most cost effective.

Our sites;
FPCTraffic for console traffic
FPCClicks for niche clicked traffic

What is the url of the site this traffic was sent to?

yes, but only if the traffic is free.

I completely agree with what funkmaster posted on another thread. It's close to impossible to turn profitability from traffic purchased by common traffic brokers. (ppcs, tgp spots/hits and banner spots dont apply on this rule) Maybe for feeding a site is can work, but again there are alternatives that will work better for your money.

You are missing www.cjtraffic.com on that list.

I still dont thing jennycards can compair Google addword with cj2 exit traffic, but jennycards, dont want to reply on that.

jennycards, did't buy US/CA traffic from Sexzity.

I agree.

Yep missing me also. This page Jenny made up took a lot of effort, I know I did this a few times myself. I put a buyer review into my system a couple of months back, it has let me know what buyers think of my traffic. This is a tool every broker should implement IMO. Withour honest feedback you have no idea how productive the traffic you sell is.

Click on the ratings and this is real reviews from buyers.

You were STUPID to buy from hitsup.com... THAT'S AN AUTOSURFER!!

Yeah, no shit.....only 2.7% from different IPs??? Hello???

Interesting...But..any good sales?

Yah, I was thinkin the same thing. :1orglaugh

Well ... what I do is: I compare the success or result of 1 Dollar spent. I don't fucking care where the traffic comes from. It's a figure game.

I also provided raw figures, so feel free to make your own conslusions from it. Probably your conclusions will be different from mines.

From sexzity I bought regular "10k unfilted traffic: $2.0 per k" as promoted on their website.

For as little as $10 I KNOW now:
- certain traffic is shit
- certain traffic providers are morons

This is a bargain, isn't it :Graucho

Can you show which stream actually resulted in sales and what the conversion ratio was?

Maybe some people use it for trading tgp traffic...

Choker,

I used your listing to identify major players in this industry. Thank you very much for that.

Unfortunately some traffic brokers do not accept paysites. I believe this is also the case with your traffic, isn't it?
