Arcade Webmaster Traffic Purchasing

[dman1979]

A little curiosity as to the thought process other Arcade Webmasters go through when purchasing traffic for their sites. If you have something to add to the conversation other than the questions listed below please feel free to add.

1.) Do you even buy traffic for your arcade sites or do you depend on natural sources of traffic or a mixture of both?

2.) If you do buy traffic do you tend to pay a little higher cpc for traffic that you know has been proven to be more productive or do you lean towards more traffic for less money and hope that the numbers game works in your favor?

3.) What is your thought process for validating your choice of the two?

4.) If you are willing to pay a higher cpc for known productive traffic what is the magic number that makes your decision. How much more are you willing to pay for known productive traffic .005, .01, .015, .....?

Then just a thought for you.Yes I buy traffic.If your a young site and lacking ideas or don't have something that sets you aside from the norm (a niche) you ain't going anywhere other than what the bots do.

Buying traffic won't make your site an overnight success,but will get the bots indexing more quickly.If you take the road of thinking link/banner exchanges will improve things..They won't..Now if you could have dedicated specific traffic to your site,then you'd be on a winner.And none of them can send specific dedicated traffic.

Buying traffic can be good for the time being but you are never sure that the traffic you brought are interested. You have to give some time until the real and organic traffic comes to your website,
