I also have a tgp that I send zero bought or brokered traffic. it went 1:402 in 2008. All se traffic or straight type in / bookmark. Also split amongst the same 4 programs. In fact its the same page content-wise, url is different on both. (that was my 2008 experiment.)

I have come to the conclusion that buying traffic is as effective as buying used diapers.
How did the actual sales amounts compare? Better conversions are pointless if you only have a dribble of your own traffic when compared to purchased. If you have a positive ROI from a good traffic source with sufficient volume you'll make more money at the end of the day...
