I run a network of 20+ paysites. You can see them all in my links in my sig. So traffic sellers/those defending buying traffic and how much they make from it:
Show me how YOU would turn ten grand into $11,500 in 2 weeks. Go ahead. Show me WHAT kind of traffic I should buy to send to my paysites. Go ahead! My best-converting sites convert at 1:250, the worst maybe 1:3000. There, go ahead.
Your response will be this, I gaurantee it: Well-l-l-l-l-l....
So throw your bullshit around to the poor, dumb "little" affiliate here on GFY. The ONLY reason to buy traffic is to feed your tube site, get some back-links going on for SEO purposes, or to "make sales". Now maybe you can make these mythic "sales" from cams, dating or chat, or some combo of the three, I dunno. That's not my game. My game is XXX paysites, and there's a fuckload lot of us around. So if we can't make $ selling memberships with our traffic then selling it may be a good idea but BUYING said traffic? Ha-fucking-ha.
Carry on with this nonsensical ridiculousness.

I think i understood what you were saying, post was a little confusing, maybe it's me and I am not reading it right.
I think anyone who has a picture and video only membership site would be hard pressed to buy traffic and turn a profit. A traffic broker isn't going to reduce the price of his traffic because pic and vid site owners profit and convert less than say cams and dating. The traffic is going to be priced on what people are willing to pay and come back and keep paying. Just like adwords or anything else, the market will decide the prices. If the traffic broker is asking too much and no one makes money from it he will be stuck with it. I am sure traffic brokers would rather have customers that renew every month, not have hit and miss customers.
I am sure in some cases that there are pic and video sites that buy traffic and make money. I think it would be a little easier for micro niches or if you happen to find someone selling traffic that doesn't know how good of quality they have (get it at a real good price). I can't imagine any cookie cuter, general porn pic and vid sites making money off of buying traffic.
Like you said though, you have other ways you can use it. Buy cheap feeder traffic for your trades, or to build up a tube site, etc... then try to filter the traffic and convert it into sales.
