People are really still buying traffic from crooked ass online vendors?
OMG!?? What year is this??
They are all fucking crooks. You're buying blanks. Numbers on a screen. You might be getting about 10% real traffic and the rest is all bots.
Don't take my word, just go do some research about the mass epidemic of online traffic fraud.
There is no Federal regulation and these online crooks have it down to a science. I don't know anybody that buys online traffic anymore, banners, pop ups, you name it.
Just ask yourself this one basic question:
IF the traffic was real and it generated sales, why would they sell it?
Years ago the traffic brokers sold real traffic and you could make sales from it, but now that porn is free, repeat, PORN IS FREE, the traffic broker's market has crashed. The only way to make a profit is by selling bot clicks. Exo, Juicy, TJ, all of them are stuffed full of sources that supply bot traffic, and if you call the broker on it, you will get this same response: "Some of our suppliers and traffic sources have sent us bot traffic, but we quickly put an end to it when we find out. If you get any bot traffic, let us know so we can act appropriately."
In other words, we will sell you bot traffic until you find out about it, then we correct the problem and then sell you more. But when you are not looking at your IP stats, more bot traffic will flow.
They have the very best software and programmers that can shut down their operation or change all the stats instantly before a subpoena ever hits the front door. Online traffic brokers are the ultimate scam artists the internet has ever seen.
