Thread: Are paid traffic offers a scam?

I have seen a lot of paid traffic offers lately, and I'm wondering if they are a scam? If not, what information can you offer on using paid traffic services, and will it get me banned from adsense, etc?

I've done a couple of tests, and both resulted in zero "human" visitors and zero revenue.

Ah. Because I saw this company that CLAIMS to give you 30,000 visitors from different IP addresses as well as about 2% of them click ads. Hm.....

I wouldn't even think about buying traffic unless they gave me 30,000 images of the people visiting the site with them holding up a sign that has the words "yo dawg"... or there name. Then I may, you never know.

I have tried this method in the past - buying traffic from websites, that is.
Absolutely nothing came of it. Do you hear me? Nothing! Don't waste your time.

One thing I do recommend, however, is any sort of traffic exchange. I use EasyHits4U.
It brings me a nice amount of human traffic, and I've had multiple occasions where that traffic converted.

Anyway, I just posted a list of ways to get traffic for free on my blog today:

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.

Seriously just don't waste your time. Take it from me!

Organic traffic alone can be useful to you...

Buying traffic will not help you to improve your sales or profit....

Buying traffic, if its real, might give you a few ad clicks, but it cant justify the expenditure i wouldn't have thought

Didn't think so either.
