Is all paid traffic shit?

That could be said about anything, why do businesses sell websites, social media etc. Why not set up and run hundreds of niche sites? It's known as a service, why do people write articles, why not add them to their own sites? Why do people sell seo services?Traffic sellers specialise in a service.

Yeaah no. Because the desired result of all you described (seo services, content, websites) is to generate traffic. If you have the traffic then you have the hard work already done. Can get aff website up and running for less than $30.

But prove me wrong, show me a single traffic seller which send traffic that convert to sales, ok? A single one.

No guarantee with anything, even seo services. No one can make guarantees, I buy traffic that engages

It's not the same at all. Putting an article on my own site may do nothing for me if my site gets zero traffic. Selling already established websites is easier than trying to establish 100 sites of your own. It's different with traffic. It's just as easy to send the traffic to an affiliate program as it is to send it to someone's website. It makes zero sense to send 20,000 visitors to somone's site for $200 when you can just as easily send it to an affiliate program instead and make 3x as much or more for the same amount of work.

Yeah im in the casino niche and struggling on the serps, so i thought a boost of paid targeted traffic would be a good idea. Just looking for a reputable company. I dont have anything like cpm on the site. im looking for conversions really

Why do people on here do jv then, why not do it themselves and keep all the money?
 
Ad platforms, solo ads, list exchanges, webinar collabs, social, and organic. That's where traffic comes from.

OK, think about it - if someone can send you genuine, real human traffic ... why he would do it? For example if I have "super targeted bla bla casino traffic" why I would sell it for $200 or $2000 even? Just will set up simple affiliate website and make the bank with $400-500 per registration.. Same for basically every other niche - if the traffic is real and worth something, then why anyone would sell it?

Maybe they do have their own website(s). They are just selling/sharing their traffic. The traffic will likely come from multiple sources and not just one place or just properties they own. The traffic seller is a business and they've likely found sources where they buy cheap traffic and sell high.

If I had a network of sources that could generate traffic --- I personally wouldn't be greedy and keep it to myself. I would sell off what I don't use and create another revenue stream. I think its smart.

With that said, I wouldn't buy traffic from a moms and pops. I think PPC or SMM is money better spent. But Adfly use to send decent real traffic for cheap. The only thing is the traffic is untargeted, but I did alright with a movie trailer aff some years back. I'm sure if I had the time and interest to tweak and test I would've did better.

I agree with @mickyfu here. $100 will not go far with decent traffic for a casino site, especially in Tier 1 geos.

The cheapest traffic of any form of 'quality' you can buy is going to be pop traffic. You can do some reverse engineering by going to some streaming or gambling sites and see if they have popups/unders to casinos. If you then check the HTML code to find the pop link, it will tell you the pop network (PopAds/PopCash/Propeller etc.)

To give you a ball park idea - I used to buy Canadian pop traffic at $3-5 CPM. I probably spent close to $500 to get an idea of what placements/devices/times to blacklist in order to get my campaign profitable.

Too bad not many would have that budget. I rather spent it on biscuits and coffee :)
 
Hm...paid traffic is actually one of the best possible sources of traffic if your ad campaigns are setup correctly.
However, you should only buy from well-known companies with proven track of records.

If you buy traffic as a product and not ad campaigns that advertise your site, then you're getting bots or some extremely low-quality visits.
If however, you set up ads and your ads are being shown at other sites working with this ad network - then it's good traffic and its quality depends on your campaigns. Then, in case of any trouble with traffic - you can get a report, discuss it with the network and in most cases if there are bots - you'll get refunded.

Personally I just look for media buys on sports related websites. I tend to look for sites with 30k+ traffic that will do an ad for roughly £500 for six months.

Is it 30k+ traffic/day or /month?
