Would you ever consider buying traffic?
Personally I would never do it.
Don't trust most of these services + it could get you banned from google adsense.
But if you don't have adsense on your forum, would you consider it?

What's the point? I really don't see any use of buying traffic if you are not trying to "trick" advertisers or whatever.

Well, if you buy real visitors (and hopefully also targetted) there is always a chance that they'll sign up.

The only traffic worth getting is people actually looking for what your site has to offer. These traffic progrmas do not provide any kind of targetted traffic at all. The only thing you achieve through them is using up bandwidth.

In a sense, I have bought xome traffic. I came up with the Inappropriate Greetings as a "giveaway" and then spent $100 with Yahoo Ads to drive traffic to the site. I have only signed up for $5 day. Now I am watching my traffic loyalty via Google Analytics.
The way I look at it, when people click on an ad that says "When you lothe enough to send the very worst" they probably are my target market segment. Once the campaign is over, I'll post the results.

Not exactly what I meant with buying traffic  Yahoo ads (or adwords,...) are just a way of advertising. But it's indeed true that you pay more or less for the traffic. |

If you are so far to buy traffic, than you know also all the other methods and usually you will not do it.
I think so ???

PPC or advertising yes probably comes the time for it. But these "1 million visitors guaranteed" too-good-to-be-true things definitely not!

I don't think that using adwords or other ppc programs are a buying traffic. These programs are a means of buying advertising. Advertising should bring traffic but that does not mean it will. Buying traffic to me means paying for traffic from a service that guarantees traffic. There is no way a company can guarantee that they can send large amounts of traffick who actually have an interest in your site so I would stay clear.

Exactly.
I really don't understand why people do it.
But I have seen SEOers doing it to trick their clients into thinking that there are indeed traffic coming in. God knows what kind of SEO they are.

I've steered clear of the pay for traffic too. Buying ppc in search engines has worked the best for me at bringing in targeted traffic and getting people to sign up for my forums.

I never even considered buying traffic and I don't plan on it either.

Traffic that will not give you something back in return is waste of bandwidth. I mean buying traffic is x2 you're wasting your money and wasting bandwidth. I would prefer spending money and maybe advertising and branding my site. Or maybe spending money on link building
