Wholesale Website Visitors - Why buy?
There are lots of traffic sellers out there that claim they can deliver for cheap thousands of unique visitors to your websites. Many of these traffic sellers are buying from a source that is wholesaling website traffic.
These wholesalers are normally hidden from the open market. Only resellers typically know their websites and where to find them. The thing is, this wholesaling business in general has been dampen by several scams that had been uncovered lately by some wise and intelligent buyers.
So is there real wholesale website traffic that sells website visitors for cheap? The answer is yes.
However, the effectiveness of this website traffic has not been known to give great results. The scammers normally are just providing an automatic queueing and pinging system that mimics views to your site when in fact, it is only machines that view them. No eyeball traffic. No nothing.
Others may trick you for redirect traffic from one of their websites listed in free adult directories. Your website link is embedded on one of these pages in a very small pop up or pop unders so it comes as an annoying part to surfers of the adult sites. After a few seconds of loading, your website gets closed and there is no way you can make money out of those fake hits.
This comes of course after you paid the full price of the package. This is where the problem begins. A website visitors buyer would later found out that nothing has been delivered to his/her website except machince traffic. You bought people traffic not mere machines romping their way to the server.
Wholesale traffic are more of a scam than good traffic. You never really get those promised targeted website traffic. Targeted here should mean the visits from the people who are interested in what you offer on your website. Targeted means the targeting the right people with the information they need when they need it.
I fell victim to this website traffic scam before, as have thousands of others. That's the time I was still new in the internet marketing arena. I am an easy prey so to speak. These companies give you a sales pitch something like...
"Our website will tremendously increase your revenues. Suppose that you are trying to sell a product worth $20 and that in a worst case scenario only 1% of your visitors purchase your product.
With your own traffic: Say your site gets an average traffic of about 100 hits per day (roughly 3,000/month). Using only 1% probability of closing a sale, approximately 30 people will purchase your product every month (1% of 3,000). That means you are taking in only $600 per month (30 x $20).
With our service: Suppose the you (the site owner) purchase 100,000 visitors from us for $29. Using our assumption that only 1% of visitors will purchase the product, a total of 1,000 purchases will be made. That's a value of$20,000! And that is if only 1% of visitors purchase the product! Think about the return on your $29 investment!"
Sounds great eh? If you're like me, you got pretty excited when you read that. Adrenalin starts to rush in to your veins prompting you to pick out your wallet and pay immediately. After all, with all that conservative estimate, there's no way you can't at least earn your investment back, right? WRONG!!
So you gave in, decided to part ways with your $29 and ordered their traffic service. At first, you get excited, because traffic is pouring in! There are lots of traffic that you can't believe your hits are flying. You expect the orders to come soon. But after a few days, none.
Soon you realize that your investment is earning you nothing. In fact it's costing you your bandwidth, and not delivering any results! The traffic delivered is really 100,000 but unfortunately, you made no single sale. What went wrong?
Of course no company, no matter how credible they are, can guarantee you sales. That depends highly on your ad copy, price, and the demand of the item. I can guarantee though, that some of these company's have thousands of clients, and not one of their clients has ever made a sale.
I bought my traffic... Now where are all my orders?
