Google Ads gives the highest intent traffic, Facebook is best for scaling and testing offers, TikTok is cheap for volume, and native ads work well for long funnels depending on your niche and offer.
What are the best paid traffic sources right now?

Google Ads is popular for direct sales and leads, Facebook for targeting specific audiences, and TikTok for cheaper traffic and viral reach. Results depend on niche and budget.

Still the king when it comes to lead generation, Google Ads will do you good for leads who intend on buying. Facebook and TikTok are also good places to reach many people at once. Native advertising, push traffic, and solo ads are also viable options but their success varies from niche to nich

I ran a campaign for a local company on Meta, and it was successful with a decent outcome. I believe the results can vary across different niches. It's all about who you're targeting. Understanding the right set of target audiences can greatly impact which traffic source is most effective, I guess.

It depends on your niche, but I get good conversions with Tiktok ads and Instagram ads.
People use Google Ads + Meta for clean intent traffic (ideal for leads if you have an effective funnel), TikTok Ads for affordable traffic with inconsistent quality, and native ads (Taboola / Outbrain) for building content funnels
Push/Pop Networks + search arbitrage are still viable options for quick testing purposes, though results will usually be very inconsistent and profitable only once you get targeting and pre-sell page righ.

Paid traffic mainly comes from platforms like Google, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Businesses use them to get visitors and leads fast. Google is for search intent, Facebook for targeting interests, TikTok for viral reach, YouTube for video engagement, and LinkedIn for professionals.

@AffiliateWizardry one thing people miss is the tracking side. Google can look expensive but if your offer has strong buyer intent it beats cheap traffic all day. Meta/TikTok are better when you can test 10-20 creatives fast and warm people up, not just send cold clicks straight to offer. Native/push I only touch when I have a prelander and enough budget to burn data, otherwise the “cheap” clicks become expensive quick. For leads, I’d start with Google search if the niche has clear keywords, Meta if it’s broad consumer, TikTok if you can make ugly/simple UGC style creatives.

People mostly use Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, YouTube Ads, and Native Ads because they each offer different types of traffic like search intent, social targeting, or content-based discovery. Google usually brings the highest quality leads.

No better than FB/Insta right now.

On Google Ads, the biggest advantage is intent. People are already searching for what you offer, so leads are usually more ready to convert.
