Explain Traffic Brokering
 

If you purchase traffic from a traffic broker, how does that work? I assume they have to have a link to your site on some page somewhere. How do they get so-many-thousand people/day to click your link? Where do they get their traffic from? Or am I missing something? |huh

They buy trafic & then sell it for a higher price OR they have their own traffic & that's what they're selling.

I understand that part, but if they buy traffic and the traffic comes to their site, how do they get the traffic to click links to go to their customers' sites? If they have their own traffic, same thing. How can they get so-many-thousand surfers to click links to go to their different customers? With whatever they have do they do some kind of re-direct? If so, where was the traffic going?

It could be generic links (like "more free movies") that they run thru a script, ads run thru a banner rotator, hard links they update on their pages - stuff like that (I'm not a broker, so I only know a couple of ways to do it)

Most the traffic brokering services I see nowadays are from the blind CJ TGPs, that are run thru various scripts, and probably involves a traffic script. The only reason anyone would buy that traffic, IMO, would be to start a new CJ TGP or to give one a big boost after a redesign. I used to run all kinds of those CJ TGP traffic trading sites and I bought a traffic from brokers numerous times. Sometimes I bought from "official" brokers like Choker, or I bought clicks directly from an already established big site that had a bunch of extra clicks to sale. I guess either way the traffic is coming from clicks that come from a blind link TGP.

The theory is to make and design a site that is gonna get good clicks to your trades, but you gotta have traffic to get your new trades started. So when someone is going to start a site like this they put up a design that they think will be good, buy some clicks from a broker, and then sign up to as many trades that look similar to their new site. How I used to do it, I would buy like 50k clicks which usually would cost 250-350$, then slowly start having the clicks come in, if my design was working I would up the traffic feed, if it wasnt I would tweak it until it did work. Once I got a good click % then I would start feeding the site with 1000 clicks an hour and that would really get the ball rolling with your new trades you just signed up with. And if everything went just right the traffic would stabilize itself after the feed stopped.
