RECEIVED: Traffic Jams - WANTED: Fast, Reliable Paid Traffic Sources
Hey all,
I am trying a few different paid traffic sites.. and am not very happy with what i've seen so far.. The results so far: If you know of a good, solid, reliable, cheap & fast traffic provider - please post them here. I will also toss in a gmail invite to the person that provides the best value for service etc ************************* autovisiting.com Credits: 10,000 Un-Targeted Price: $7.50 PROS: none noted. CONS: Long site approval (2-4 days), slow delivery, no control or daily capping, no targeting options. misleading website, poor customer service. COMMENTS: Another company that seems to be quite happy to take my money without giving anything in return.. I purchased 10,000 hits from them... yet to hear back from them. autovisiting.com finally got back to me, it turns out, that you must register with their website first, and receive a username & password. Unfortunately, upon first glance of their site, you can actually 'pay' them for hits without having an account. So I signed up, and sent my user ID to their admin for account approval. when my account was finally approved (3 days later), an extra 15,000 credits had been added to my account. (total 25,000) - presumably for compensation. ************************* VisitorWorld.com Credits: 1,000 Targeted Price: $2.50 *Additional 1,000 added as compensation. PROS: none noted. CONS: Took 3-4 days for reponse after payment., slow delivery COMMENTS: Paid US$2.50 For 1000 Unique hits of 'Targeted' traffic approx 3 days ago - And have yet to even get a confirmation from them let alone traffic. (althought they seem to happily accept my money) Finally received a response - they are apparently in the process of selling, and expect minor delays for 2-4 days. Additional 1,000 Credits added as compensation. ************************* immensehits.com Credits: 10,000 Un-Targeted Price: $7.95 PROS: fair pricing, slow delivery speed - 165 in 3 days - remainder of 10,000 delivered next 3 days. Fast activation. Live Stats. CONS: No daily capping. COMMENTS: Not the best.. but certainly not the worst. Paid US$7.95 for 10,000 Hits of 'untargeted' traffic, that their site claims can be delivered within 24hrs.. Sad to say, that 3 days later.. I have received around 165 in total.. (its like a tap dripping) After email complaining about speed, the delivery rate was increased. ------------------------------------------- [edit] Additional Test Runs ************************* buycheapadvertising.com Credits: 5,000 Un-Targeted Price: $10.00 PROS: Easy signup, fair pricing, good control panel, fast delivery - All 5,000 delivered within 24hrs CONS: Took 3-4 days for site approval. COMMENTS: (delay was most likely because my paypal addie is 'un-verified' which causes some people to wait 3 days - antifraud) ************************* thetrafficmasters.com (complete review coming soon) Credits: 5,000 Cntry/Cat Redirected (domain redirections) Price: $29.95 PROS: Good, quick Customer service. CONS: Taking 3-4 days for account approval. COMMENTS: (delay is because my paypal addie is 'un-verified' which causes some people to wait 3 days - antifraud) ************************* MORE REVIEWS TO COME!

Ok, I finally heard back from the traffic providers..
VisitorWorld.com The owner actually contacted me in response to my email.. It turns out that they are in the process of being sold, and that is the reason for the delay. I was assured that it would only last a few days, and was compensated with double the amount of traffic. immensehits.com I finally received a single line response (via email). "We have sped up your account" *shrugs* I have yet to see just 'how much' they sped it up by.. autovisiting.com Apparently, even though I had purchased traffic, aI am required to 'join' their website first. (probably a good idea to restrict the purchase to being signed in then..) Once again, the owner contacted me in response to my email, and after i signed up to their site, he compensated me with an extra 15,000 hits (total 25,000). |

I used Dan's www.targetedvisitors.info before ... I got the traffic I ordered (I got the 10k premium visitors) within the specified time period. A lot of these visitors didn't seem to move beyond the front page, but I did get the hits quickly. The site was ad-supported so I can't really tell you about conversion ratios etc. Untargeted traffic there is $1.95/1k
(This is not a paid plug for TV.info ... altho Dan could always throw some bucks my way if he wanted hehe) |

I can provide small amounts of traffic (only about 1500 hits a week) for $2 per 1000 visitors
I can do this as I get a few hundred hits a day free from a friend, however I don't use them for anything. PM me if interested in low amounts lol |

If you look really closely you'll see it's not a period but the word "bump" in very small letters.
