Hi,

where could you actually buy targeted quality traffic? I have to admit that I did not look around pretty much to answer that question myself but I really would like to know, where I would look to buy e.g. 100.000 emails or 50.000 hits for leads interested in financial services and stock market topics.

Is there anything like a (honest) targeted traffic supplier?

Thanks a lot!

There are numerous threads on buying traffic, all of them report lack of conversions.

May be Adwords is one answer..

Well, I am using adwords and have a relatively successful campaign going. However as I said the site is in the financial services and stock market area, so costs can go easily as high as $1 a click for the more prominent keywords. Even if we would set an average at 25 cent per click, 100.000 clicks would cost $25.000

So, I skim off the traffic at the sides of the mainstream for max. 5 cents a click. This traffic is however not really sufficient to get things really flying. Also, I got a more interesting story to tell that would not fit into the few characters an adcopy provides to me

Buying email lists or traffic is generally a bad idea.

How about contacting the big players in your niche and sorting out a
joint venture that benefits you both?

Search for your chosen keywords on Google and contact the top 50
or so.

Yep, sounds like a plan, You have nothing to lose. And your potential partner should here you out if you approach them correctly...

Try buying text ads from adbrite.com or adengage.com. You can pay a flat rate to have your text ads displayed on the website of your choice for how ever long you want.

no such thing as getting hits to your site. The ones that charge just have a bug script in the background to make it look like your getting hits when your not. IT is bogus. Dont do it. Use all the free ways to get hits to your site . (e.g. seo - forums - directories - articles - Myspace (every good)) yes ok it is going to take time ....BUT its FREE and the more targeted your traffic the more sales you will make.....KA-CHING!

Well, been there, done that.
Once someone also told me " rather build backlinks", but one has to sometime try different things :-)...

Today i am looking for ways in to rather increase backlinks, and no instant traffic boosters...

Go for a long term strategy. That will do you more good.

Very good advice here.
