I remember along time ago on here seeing a company that will drive your site traffic for a certain charge. You can get like 10K per month for X amount of dollars, etc. I'm looking for the name of this company, and their URL. Much appreciated!

I think the Google guys could help you there. I mean I think they are into that sort of stuff, besides you could run a query using their search engine. I get a lot of similar ads in my mail, only I always delete such mail, cause they were either too expensive or non reliable. Good luck though...

Yeah, I cannot remember the name or anything, I searched quickly, I remember the owner of the site is a member here, and someone was curious about some of the testemonials on the site

There are literally hundreds of these companies out there. Search "10,000 visitors" on google. :P

I've used www.visitorfinder.com and several other smaller ones. Can't say it was worth it... blast of traffic for a couple days, no signups, leads, or anything, other then an open, close, visit from each of them.

I think that the guy who runs that company is around this forum somewhere ;)

HakonHoy: You know how well endlessvisitors works?
Well oh well, I went ahead and bought 10K visitors, so hopefully I will do well from this, if not on just advertising money and what not! And hopefully it's not some sort of fraud

only problem is the way they get those users, people will close your site in seconds.. so if you're trying to sell something, it's not worth it

www.targetedvisitors.info is the one that had the big thread here.

DevonL: I'm not sure how well it works. I have not tried it out myself. Please keep me posted, on how your campaign works out.

Trifolic: Yeah I believe that was it, thank you!

HakonHoy: Alright I will. So far I've gotten alot of hits, and a good amount of clicks on my google ads as well, much more than usual. Hopefully I'll be able to pull in some customers from this.

i know what you mean by auto-surf traffic. The pop-unders we deliver are not used by auto-surfs, and in fact I wouldn't be running this if it were auto-surfs.

I have tried alot of different companies and the traffic they send. Auto-surf's are really annoying as the users just sit and let their autosurf go through a couple hundred sites at a time. I tried an auto-surf campaign at one point, and over 300 visits came from one user. I wasn't impressed.

So far alot of customers have said that their CTR's have risen, some are devoted to buying more campaigns, and some don't see any results. It depends on what you're selling/giving away and how well your site sells.

I've actually made sales off auto-surfs, but my service is rather well targeted to the type of people that sign up for those. I don't sell that kind of traffic though, in general it's worthless.

So far the traffic from EndlessVisitors.com since my sign up yesterday has been 89.69% to the /index.php 2.29% to my services page, 2.29% to my contact page, and slightly over 1% for the others.

Oh yeah, and my amount of hits on my google ads is up by about 50% as of now.

i'm just gonna jump in again, as i always do to remind people, and say that google will cancel your account if found placing your adsense bearing page in a pop-up/under that doesn't have the address bar.


while i'm here, do any traffic providers not use popups/unders?

Ah really? Hmm, hopefully that doesn't happen! Oh well, those people have been so hard to deal with, I've had nothing but problems with my google ads.
