I could do a chargeback etc... but I'm cool with saying worst traffic I ever bought and pulling the referral link from my signature and not recommending or buying from them again, not only did the traffic not stay on the site but quite a bit was from turkey when I had bought premium niche traffic and turkey is not on the list of countries premium was supposed to come from but I guess it doesn't matter as bots are unproductive no matter what country they come from, I could understand a few bad sellers getting mixed into the batch but I am dead serious when I say 99.9% of this premium niche traffic stayed 0.00 seconds, google analytics is your friend, never buy traffic blindly, analyze that shit and give garbage the thumbs down, I will be testing them all, so far I like traffic-out.com and hate trafficholder.com, more unannounced testing to come on some other providers.
Have room for one more sig with a ref. code for www.ero-advertising.com ?

And do test the traffic!
3 networks, test them all 3.
Fixed spots on big sites, HQ PPC RON with many filters & settings & cheap blind traffic.

Best manually checked and automated anti-cheat filters around and zero-tolerance for cheating or bullshit. Keeps the traffic clean, advertisers happy and the honest publishers too.
A Win Win situation.



(Not saying anything about others here, just comparing the alexa traffic here as a sample of urls in this thread since it's relevant in this case.)
