The #1 biggest problem in attempting to buy traffic from guys like Choker or ProTraffic (no offense to those guys at all) is the kind of traffic they sell does shit if sent directly to a paysite. So, okay, instead of buying 5k hits from the UK buy a banner spot. But where? Give some general direction and I can probably sniff out the cheese (the sites worth contacting).
Thanks Shap!!

Stay away from anything blind. Get your domain name out there. Get the brand out there. Not knowing what you sell best at I'd look at the following.
TGP gallery spots. The bigger tgps are dropping in size. Negotiate the price down and you should be able to get some really good spots for a good price. If the broker refuses to negotiate go straight to the site owner. Tell them you are interested but want a better price and if month 1 works well you'll commit for 3 months up front. Something like that. These guys want $$$. Use that to your advantage.
Tube videos. I think a lot of your stuff is real amateur content right? I'm sure a lot of tubes would love to have you listed on it and would do it as an affiliate. If not look for the ones that have amateur content and try to get listed there or buy a spot there.
Remember anytime you are unsure you can ask for a non refundable 3,5 or 7 day test. Unless someone is sold out the only time they'll deny you a test is if their traffic is shit. We've bought traffic that was 10% of what was advertised and did nothing for us.
