Hi everyone,
I'm not a newbie but I'm not an expert either. I'm just a regular guy trying to make a little extra income.
I'm not into the "get rich quick" things - I don't believe in those. I'm very realistic and I KNOW it takes HARD work to make a living on the internet. I am willing to work hard, but internet is a business, so I'm willing to invest a bit as well. I don't want to invest A LOT, but I AM aware you need to invest in a business, so I am willing to buy traffic. The question is - where do I get REAL traffic, even if I have to pay a fee? I bought a few traffic packages before, but to my complete disappointment they turned out to be scams. They just make your site's traffic counters spin, but in the end, no results. I heard that many of them just send you the same visitors over and over again, so repeated orders from them is just a waste of time and money.
Is there anybody out there who used any traffic package that gave results? And PLEASE, no Google. That's WAY too expensive and ineffective, no matter what those "gurus" say.
Have a good day everyone and I hope I can get some really good pieces of advice from you guys.
Thank you.

I have not yet found a real way to buy traffic except thru ppc.... and I don't use that myself as I happen to believe in learning the ins and outs of getting organic traffic to your website BEFORE paying for traffic.
I am a huge fan of SBI as it teaches how to optimize your website for the search engines. I have a brand new site, only a few months ols and it is already at PR1 with a steady stream of traffic every day - highly targeted free traffic.
That's all I have to offer right now...

Have you tried writing related content and publishing through EZine, Squidoo and so on linking the articles to your site?

Like Mountainmom and Victoria eluded to, I would suggest learning SEO techniques - I wouldn't recommend those traffic "packages" you mentioned, which are frequently a waste of money.

dont waste your money to pay site that promise you ton of traffic because they are not real traffic. they are just bot. you can start by free method like:
- post comment to popular blog that related your niche
- keep posting in many popular forum (put your link in your signature)
- try to use classified ad like craiglist or usfreed
if you have a website you must do a little bit research about your site title. do more keyword research. i got my website rank in first page after i change my website title.. hope this will help you. try your best shot

I also tried buying traffic packages in the past. After a few tries, i found that they are not real visitors.
Then i use those free internet marketing like forum, articles, SEO my websites. Have an informative blog that are related to my opportunities. That is where my traffic is coming from.
It is slow, but quite steady.

You need to be very careful in buying traffic packages. In fact they are all scams. Avoid any thing that says "Get 1000 hits for just $19.95".
It would be scam. If you want quality traffic with your investments go for search engine marketing. Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, and MSN ad center. You would get some sort of targeted traffic.
Hope you got it.
Thanks
Sam

barbora18: The question is - where do I get REAL traffic
The absolutely most important and successful way to attract traffic is to provide value to your website visitor. Help them find the information they have been looking for. Help them solve a problem. Entertain them.
Give them what they want (not what you want them to want--a mistake all of us make).
If you provide more information about your website, I'd be happy to provide some specific examples of the above principle.
Best Regards,
Mark

I have lost a ton on traffic packages and no longer use them.
I am using articles and squidoo. Also link exchange.

The best way to get traffic is to get it FREE !
Organic traffic is excellent. Add content to your pages and traffic will come.
How about joining forums like this?
Target your niche. This is the MOST important thing when trying to get traffic.
Regards
Gerry

GerryWalter: The best way to get traffic is to get it FREE !
I dont know if thats the "best way." You may have to be more specific like:
*Free is the best way to get traffic because you will learn your basics.
*Or free is the best because its very cheap.
*Or free is the best because it will give you a solid foundation on IM.
I say all this because i've withnessed a PPC campaign that brings insane traffic, is targeted, and converts like a mofo after just 2 days. (excuse my french). 
Im talking about my bros ppc campaign. PPC is sick if you know how, and have a good budget. Otherwise, don't even waste your money. There are some guys who make a living off ppc alone, and they live pretty darn good.
