just a suggestion/question
 

I saw the GFY educational series was back and was wondering if someone might write one on buying traffic? I recently built a few dating sites using Dating Factory and am thinking about buying traffic to send to them. I know very little about buying traffic so have been trying to do some research and so far all I have learned is that if you don't know what your doing then chances are good you will lose money. Showing my age here but I dabbled very briefly in buying traffic many years ago when I bought from Choker but things didn't go well ( no fault of his just my not knowing what I was doing ) and I gave up pretty quickly.

Maybe a starters guide for traffic buying noobs like me? something that covers the basics. The terminology, the kinds of traffic and the pros and cons of it. For example, I see pop under or pop ups for sale but don't most surfers just think " damn it, another pop up window " and just x that out? is that really profitable to spend money on? wouldn't it be better to just buy clicked hard link traffic? or are they both good? maybe writing a little on who is reputable when buying traffic. I want to work with the guy looking at me saying if I make money he makes money not the guy looking at me going, great a noob lets see how much we can get his wallet open before he realizes we scammed him.

So basically just a buying traffic 101 :) if this post is in the wrong section please move to the correct forum. Thank you!

that would be good actually.

Basically most affiliates who buy traffic lose money on the deal.

Most people offering tutorials such as that are advancing their own interests.

Not to say that a tutorial wouldn't be cool. Just beware.

no, most affiliates YOU know lose money. You really should specify because it's quite a significant difference.
