Give us a little more details and maybe we can help you out.
To answer you question though, free traffic converts very well if it's targeted and it depends on the niche. If you know how to target a hungry crowd and you send them in the right direction, they're going to eat.

I agree with coreygeer on this. It sounds like you TRIED a bunch of different tactics to get traffic, but may have failed to consider how your target audience thinks, what they want, and what they respond to.
I can tell you definitively that free traffic converts, as I've made over $7000 in the past two months on entirely free traffic. They key is to really think through your offers, and ask yourself questions like:
Who are my potential customers?
Where do they hang out?(online)
What do they want?
What motivates them?
If I was one of them, what would someone have to do to get me to take xyz action?
As coreygeer said, give us a little detail, and we can probably help you start to convert a little more in line with what you're looking for.
I wish you tremendous success. Don't give up. It took me two months to make my first dollar online, and that was five months ago. From 0/month to $3500+/month in four months is pretty good, but the early going can be maddening.
