View Full Version : Targeted Traffic sucks
geekoge 07-25-2004, 10:33 AM I'm writing this topic for all you having a website and wanna advertise and i'm telling to you "NEVER BUY FROM TARGETEDVISITORS.INFO". The reason is that i bought 1000 visitors and only 2 of them register in my forums!:angry: I send mail to targetedvisitors.info and they said me that if i post like this in forums i will pay the damages, i don't think i don anything illegal. I'm telling my story so no other people will lose money in such i thing, is that bad? I also don't think it is reasonable pay for 2 members with 0 posts 1.95$!
Thanks,
geekoge
Have you ever use targeted visitors? What is your opinion?
rockergrrl 07-25-2004, 10:49 AM I've paid for targeted traffic - not from TargetedVisitors.info - for a forum of mine, and I got 10 registrations out of it, and 8 are active members now.
I've had no problems with targeted traffic.
And remember, its not their fault that they didn't register. Just about everyone that goes traffic is a reseller for another company. You can't make someone signup and then post on a forum. Its just not possible.
You buy something like that, you're taking the chance that it might not work in your favor, but sometimes it does (like in my case).
Vortex-Steve 07-25-2004, 10:52 AM What is the topic of your forum? Those 1000 people might of had no interest at all in that topic or maybe the forum just didn't look interesting enough to read through. Remember these "adverts" are in pop-ups which we all know annoy the hell out of most people so I'm not surprised you got so little interest.
geekoge 07-25-2004, 10:58 AM pop ups???
In which sites does this pop ups open?
They say they send visitos they are interetsed in your conetcnt of the site! They suck!
RHShawn 07-25-2004, 11:10 AM Visitors dosent = members,if they dont wanna join they wont simple as that,it's not targeted visitors fault,you took the risk.
geekoge 07-25-2004, 11:16 AM They are the fault
don't make me angry!
RHShawn 07-25-2004, 11:20 AM If you say so :)
geekoge 07-25-2004, 11:21 AM I say soi because it is so!!!!
Joshua 07-25-2004, 11:43 AM What category did you have them use to show the popups on?
geekoge 07-25-2004, 11:49 AM Entairtenment!
MVAnthony 07-25-2004, 12:02 PM If you only bought 1000, then you bought the untargeted visitors - meaning there is a 0% guarantee that anybody will sign up at all.
If you want results, pay for 10'000 targeted visitors, don't flame a company brand just because you didn't get your own way, you will find yourself making enemies very quickly!
Jamesc 07-25-2004, 12:19 PM Ok, i think you firstly have not given targetedvisitors.info a good enough chance to be saying they "suck". Also i think you got exactly what you paid for, you ordered visitors and they arrived at your site im sure if you can prove to targetedvisitors that they didnt arrive at your site by providing your stats to them im sure they will listen.
You ordered 1000 visitors and they arrived at your site, it's not up to targetedvisitors.info to make sure they only send visitors who will sign up, i also suggest you try using a larger volume of visitors to test this properly.

Takinghold 07-25-2004, 12:24 PM Geekoge, targetedvisitors clearly state
Create your own campaign -- just $1.95 for 1,000 untargeted worldwide visitors. 24 hour uniques!
Meaning they just give you 1000 visitors, each uniqie to a day, meaning each person can visit once a day.
10,000 premium US or UK visitors, targeted to your choice category and unique over the duration of your entire campaign.
This is targeted to what you want, and i believe this is 10,000 unique visits.
There is no problem with targetedvisitors.info, but this is technically you advertising them as the fault is, that you didnt read properly what you were actually buying.
My suggestion to you, From now on, read things through before you buy them, and then do it again, and again and again, then get someone to read it through and explain it to you, so you fully understand what you are paying for.
And then, when it goes wrong again, make sure it is the companies fault before you begin to flame them.
geekoge 07-25-2004, 03:52 PM ok but they keep sucks from they answer in my mail
Torith 07-25-2004, 03:59 PM What do you exspect for paying what was it.. $1.95? Dont bash someone because visitors did not want to sign up with your forum.
Takinghold 07-25-2004, 04:00 PM Geekoge, could you please post the full email, and the full email you sent them.
pmcdonnell 07-25-2004, 04:08 PM Since you ordered untargeted visitors you can't expect to get any real users. You should expect to see 1000 new visitors to you site but that is it.
I have used targeted before and have never had any problems with them. They provided the service I ordered. I too did not get any new customers but that is the chance you take. You can't expect people to sign up just because they visit your site even with targeted marketing. I might be looking for a site like yours and saw the advertisment but then got to your site and didn't like the look so I left. That is not targetedvisitors fault.

Have you ever use targeted visitors? What is your opinion?
1] You should understand that their "real visitors" are not real. You pay for 1000 Impressions NOT 1000 real visitors because 1000 popups are not 1000 visitors.
2] Also, when you select Category like webmasters or something, this means that popups are shown on webmaster sites right? How many webmaster sites do you know that show full page popups? probable 0 or a small number. There is no way they can fill the amount of visitors they sell[100000000+/day], this makes you think about the quality of the traffic.
geekoge, you need to think before you order something.
7de5igns 07-25-2004, 04:42 PM Jeez its only $1.95 you get what you pay for.
On a side note, I've used targetedvistors.info many times and they are one of the best. No complaints here.
nybble 07-25-2004, 04:46 PM Ok, this is by far a very funny post!
I have used this company..... and I got what I ordered. The guy who started this thread is in la la land I think.
I bet he also started threads saying that he did not collect his $1,000,000 when he clicked the monkey.
TV on its own, is a nice place. I like the owner, I like their business practices and their ethics.
You however, are someone who expects the world for $1.95. You got your 1000 visitors - There is or was no guarantee of any signups on your forum or for your services.
I really hope this was a joke post trying to mock something... maybe then there will be some hope.
I really like this thread however, cause now the other hosts on this forum who do not have customers like yourself now know what it may be like.
lol the idiocy of this complaint is astounding...
bigdavestar 07-25-2004, 06:09 PM Well i ordered 10,000 targeted visitors from them and didnt recieve a single signup or new member....If you want to read the entire story then check out the thread "recommending" them at httptalk.com.
westcan 07-25-2004, 06:19 PM I believe you people really need to go buy advertising for dummies before you go and make half-baked posts like this one.
First of all, you bought 1000 pure untargeted traffic for $1.95 and you expect people to sign up. Um, yeah.
Secondly, even if you purchase tens of thousands of super dooper ultra mega targeted traffic, that doesn't mean people will sign up. You need to understand even the basics of how it works like landing pages, etc.
Also, please note that no-where on the site do they claim that you will receive orders or signups to your service(s).
yea722 07-25-2004, 06:44 PM geekoge,
Although I have not used any targeted traffic services but as takinghold said they guarantee unique visitors to your website and NOT forum signups. There are many reasons why you received little signups from the visitors that came to your site, mainly your fault and some in the service. First is, to my knowledge the ads comes in popups which most people do not even bother looking at which is the downside of targeted traffic also it might not be the topic which your visitors were interested in. Also other than that, it might also be your own website design or structure not being attractive enough or your current member base is not very active, therefore it does not attract new people to join your community. Your targeted traffic service did not go back on any promises, they did send you 1000 unique visitors, therefore you may not say that they "suck", but maybe not very effective. Yet personally I believe, for a measily $2, you received 2 signups plus the exposure of your website, it is well worth it. Good luck in the future :)
NE-Andy 07-25-2004, 08:03 PM I used Targeted Traffic from Dan before, it's a great service. The response depends on what your site's topic and if it interests the targeted visitor. Like, c'mon, seriously, you can't expect everyone who go to your site to actually sign up... The guy sells traffic, not signups...
Intrevio 07-25-2004, 09:41 PM Exactly how Alfarin said it. Its traffic sold, not signups. You want signups? Go get some leads, and make some cold calls.
Your lack of professionalism astounds me. Did you think, that maybe your site lacks the ability to convert visitors into signups? As for your comment,
"They are at fault, dont make me angry"
I'm sorry in advance.
First, you cannot come into this forum and post such a stupid review on a company, and think that he's going to refund your money, or say your right. (Why would he?)
Second, judging by your first post,
send mail to targetedvisitors.info and they said me that if i post like this in forums i will pay the damages, i don't think i don anything illegal.
In my opinion, it seems you contacted him and threatened that you would post here. A lot of people seem to do this, and I beleive its not right. Get your facts straight. Were they real visitors? Yes, did they browse your site? It seems so.
You got 2 visitors out of your 1.95. Great! Something went right. Work and improve on it. Don't bad mouth people here, you won't get pity.
7de5igns 07-26-2004, 10:27 AM I hope mods close this thread.
Intrevix btw it looks like I'm going to have to try your service out :)
rinkreporter 07-26-2004, 10:34 AM how much did it cost?
Intrevio 07-26-2004, 03:52 PM 7de5igns, Looking forward to it :).
rinkreporter, I beleive he paid 1.95US from Dan.
Best,
Steven 07-26-2004, 06:41 PM Maybe they dont like your forum?
Christina 07-26-2004, 11:18 PM So you're at a loss of $1.95. <-- :eek:
You can't force people to anything. If you want people to sign up, pay them directly! lol
Targeted Traffic sites are just that, they will send them your way but you're not guaranteed that they will stay, sign-up, or buy anything. You can't be mad at the company for the service which they've provided to you at such a low cost.
geekoge, it boggles the mind that you would create such a thread flaming a company given that they delivered exactly as promised. You paid for 1000 visits. They gave you 1000 visits. Yet you feel the need to make libelous statements against them.
Take a lesson or two in marketing and basic statistics. The fact that you got any activity from a mere 1000 untargeted visits is quite remarkable. That actually speaks well of targetedvisitors.info, so in a sense, Dan should be thanking you for spreading the word.

As I stated in that httptalk thread, you are Dan's direct competitor. You gain no respect by taking cheap pot shots. If you think you're doing your business a favor, you're sadly mistaken.
Hey, but I will give you some advice. Have a look at Intrevix's posts in this thread. He too is a competitor. But seemingly he does not feel the need to slag a competitor to make himself look good. Take a lesson from him.

pacres 07-27-2004, 12:19 PM It's pretty hard to guage the quality of a service from just 1000 Untargetted visitors. I have used Dan's service in the past, and it was delivered as promised, he even gave me an extra 100 visitors. As stated, 2 signups from 1000 Untargetted visitors is a very good ratio.
frattay22 09-03-2004, 07:31 PM Thread is too funny. If you need your 1.95 back please pm me and I will give you 1.95. Sorry to bring up a little old post but was reading it. I do offer traffic myself from my own 500+ domain names with traffic. I have used Targetedvisitors a while ago they do deliver what they say, but they are tied in with traffictaxi so one is a reseller not sure who it is yet... and neither of them offer "True" redirects.
Nilomedia 09-03-2004, 07:41 PM Good that you brought this back :p
Just wanted to say -- $1.95 for 2 visitors, great deal.. not big story about the 2 dollars.. :)
frattay22 09-03-2004, 08:24 PM You got two Visitors? Please advise if you want your 1.95 back as well let me know.
I do not have any connections with Targeted just being the "Nice" guy here and no hidden charges :)
KoMoSkY 09-04-2004, 12:23 AM lol sum1 want to buy me targeted ppl? to my deviantart account ? :D
