All I'm asking for here is a traffic seller that knows his traffic sources and wants to work out a fair long term deal. I find it amazing that no one has the balls to step up.
Unfortunately many go through brokers now who just play a middle man.

I buy a lot of traffic, a lot. Last month *I* (me, myself, alone) spent over a half a million on mobile prepays and sure, I've been fucked on a few in the past. First I can tell you that you won't get people to agree to a certain volume. I have one client that does that now and they aren't coming close to the agreement and I'm interested to see what happens and how they make good on it.

Secondly, whatever the price the person tells you - it's inflated, by a lot.

Third, request Google Analytics to verify traffic sources, volumes, etc. Most give this up without any issues.

Sorry Steve, you won't find anyone to make this deal unfortunately.

However, when you do take the gamble it can really work out to your favor sometimes. We aim for a $40 CPA (mobile) before xsales and I have some prepays that are doing it at $12-17. Then others who have cost me $200 CPA.
