    Buying Traffic? Results?

    Buying traffic is great to get more exposure to your website. Nice new visitors who you hope will stick about and hopefully buy a product etc.

    I have never bought traffic before just because I am scared it goes wrong and money is tight.

    What do you recommend?

    I have heard Admego is good which is pay as you go and covers a number of networks to advertise.

    I would not do it, most of the time its a lot of money with a little bit of results. Leave buying traffic to the bigger companies, use your money on seo, banner advertising, blog mentions, something that brings in long term results.

    Even I'd not do it .... Although, if some one offers me that kind of traffic for free .... I wouldn't take it !! I am really very careful on this

    Thanks, do you have any recommendations for improvements that could be cost effective as in links to them. Never really thought of investing to improve so this is a 100% dark area for me.

    Are you sure?
    Please tell me how much time do you spend on SEO and how much is worth a hour of work for you?
    If we think how many hours someone spend on SEO battle better get pay per click from google. There is a way to get clicks for $0.1 - $0.2 from google without spending my time on SEO also there are a ton of ways to get free traffic much faster than SEO without too much work.
    Not sure why people didn't recommend paid traffic.

    Yes I am very sure about it.

    Every hour i spend on SEO is very precious to me. As I am learning how to improve my SEO strategies day by day. I learn that buying traffic cause harm to website because you won't even know if you can trust the traffic sources. Better earn less than getting banned through buying traffic later on

    The traffic that you buy is from google and facebook so there is no harm to your website. I never did seo and still get traffic from google In SEO is a big battle link building for every keyword and all that crap lets be honest if someone have a better software that can build links for that keyword that you already working to rank on it you are out of the game and have to start over again or do more backlinks.
    Better create an article with keywords that you want to rank and post in google news sites and you rank in 5 minutes in the first page guaranteed.

    Buying traffic can increase your alexa rank but to get customers is paid traffic not the best choose. Mostly you will pay for traffic which is generated by machines and roboters or the visitors are total foreign to your niche. Ok, you can have luck and you get some traffic with customers who will buy on your site but these are exceptions

    I've bought traffic a couple of times. I didn't get a single sale from tens of thousands of visits. The traffic that was sent to me wasn't interested in anything I sold. They were just looking to kill time. Most of them left the sites in less than 5 seconds. The websites they were sent to were very good, so I don't blame the offers I made.

    Google says it doesn't like buying traffic and it threatens to penalize bought traffic. I don't know if they penalized me. I suspect this penalty lasts only a few weeks. After that, they treat your website as a normal website again, if you stopped buying traffic.

    I think you need not pay to generate more traffic. Just try to be more diligent in blog posting, facebook, pinterest etc. and that will do the trick. You do all of these for free.
