    I really don't see the point in buying web traffic. You get a traffic boost for a short time (days, weeks) but at the end, that traffic goes away.

    Your website has to serve a purpose; either it's providing information, or it's selling something. If it's selling something, you can have a million visitors a day, but if none of them buy anything, the traffic is useless. If it's providing information, then traffic is only useful if the visitors are actually reading things, clicking your links/ads, subscribing to updates etc.

    With "targetted traffic" sites like revisited, people are being tricked into visiting your site; and if you're being tricked into visiting a site, most people will leave that site straight away. I tried it once, and my bounce rate went through the roof.

    Much better to market your site properly IMO.
  • It is not much advisable to get web traffic.

    What are you looking for? People/traffic to buy from you, use your services? Or provide information to the people who view?

    What's the end-result that you're looking for?
