Buying Traffic is good!

Buying traffic for your site is a must.
Its the best way to progress your site.

Disagree...Agree?

Rep given for good responses.

Disagree. Buying traffic is a waste of money and putting your site into trouble.

Anyway, what does "buying traffic" means and how do they do it? were not talking about the PPC here.. Okay, this is how they do it.

When a website owner loses interest in their site and decides not to renew their domain name, it becomes available to the public again. We buy these domains which still receive traffic from search engines, links and marketing done by the previous owner, and direct this traffic to you.

So it doesn't really make sense to acquire traffic in this way because (in both cases) you're just buying statistics. You're not buying readers and targeted audience, customers or repeat visitors; what you're buying is a lie.

If you want legitimate traffic then write good content so others may link into your site and might be possible to keep from them coming back. and don't forget to promote it; short cuts like this will only empty your pocket..

Why would you buy traffic when you could make one for yourself? It's useless and waste of money.

webcosmo · 05-02-2008, 05:12 PM

Disagree. I have wasted myself quite a bit of money doing that until I realized "hard way is the only way".

Working on better content, building brand.. takes time but thats what becomes the winner at the end.

Buying traffic is not a good idea. Is it real traffic interested in your site, or just a way to improve stats.

JLHC · 05-02-2008, 06:24 PM

I disagree.

When you are buying traffic, you are actually buying statistics.

Unless you can get good traffics from your targeted audience and results in conversions, otherwise buying traffic is just a waste of time and money.

It may even affect your search engine ranking as google prohibits links buying.

Just my 2 cents.

That's a shit and i shall go with other members. There is no sense between having a site and buying traffic. That is just having a Public Bus and then giving money to your passengers to travel.

THis depends greatly on the source of traffic and the type of site you have. If you have a commercial websites, and you are purchasing traffic from highly target sources, this is a great way to grow your site. Commercial products have a hard time attracting their own visitors.

If your site is a resource that can intice visitors with its own unique and interesting content, purchasing traffic shouldn't be neccesary.

Always start out buying your traffic so that you can perfect your site and identify which words are converting. Then march out towards organic and forums related to those words.

thomas.steve · 05-07-2008, 04:33 AM

Buying traffic is not a better way, you have to focus on SEO for promoting your site & in this way you will get genuine traffic.

pawank · 05-08-2008, 07:39 AM

Buying traffic is not making any sense of ethical way for promoting website, if you develop, design and promote your website as per Google guidelines then their is no need to buy traffic for site for getting rankings in search engine result pages.

aira · 05-13-2008, 08:01 AM

If you're confident about how you do SEO to your site, why would you try to buy your traffic? Sounds like cheating on yourself plus wasting your effort, money and Skills
