Which is obviously a skill traffic sellers don't have. So far cheaper and easier to sell it at a couple of dollars a 1,000 to anyone who has a clue.

Of course the traffic seller would never of put it through a few sites before he sold it.

Yes selling is tough and in a business hell bent on giving away the product for free it has to be very tough. Getting it as you said is the easy part, selling it something as you say is the tough part. The price of the commodity usually reflects the commodities value. 1,000 people interested in looking at porn = $3

Just a thought. "Traffic" that's sold. How is it gained. By an advert or link saying

"Click on this so we can sell you to all comers"

Or "Click here so we can sell you to anyone looking to buy traffic to send to a dating site"

Or just a dating site ad or cams or something else?

Or is it traffic on a site and they click to see something and suddenly land somewhere else?
