Sorry man I just do not believe in buying traffic, but then history has taught me not to trust traffic sellers of any kind. Historically from my experience 9 out of 10 of them are scammer's and the 1 that is productive is only temporary for a burst.
From my experience webmasters that know how to monetize there traffic would never fucking sell it ( I sure as fuck do not, but then I know my traffic has value! ) and they like myself work for the traffic. To throw it away is stupid if it has value.
Convince me with facts.

Advertising is profitable for many businesses, and is an integral part of a marketing strategy. Also, selling ad space IS one method of monetizing your traffic.
I think repeat clients, year after year of advertising, have a different opinion than you. Our goal here is not to rip someone off, we like finding good matches for clients and repeat business. If our advertisers aren't successful, either are we. Period.
That's the reason they sell it, because it has value. Otherwise it would be given away for free. Not everyone wants to send to an affiliate program.
I do agree though that their are some bad apples out there you have to avoid.
