Traffic - I need good advice on buying traffic

[Toby]

Several months ago I decided to dabble a bit with purchased traffic to some of my galleries. I tried a couple of sources (AskJolene Topspots and Spotbrokers), with minimal success. Best result I had was a $30 PPS sponsor with a $2.95 trial. Sponsors without trials, both PPS and revshare, did not do well at all. I about broke even.

I probably won't bother with purchased traffic again. I'd be more inclined to purchase a text or banner link on a site(s) with traffic that's a good match for the niche's I promote.

For those interested, I sent a note to AskJolene last week when Toby mentioned them. I asked if they allowed traffic to be sent to MGP, Link List or Blog sites. Today I received their answer, which I'm posting here for anyone following this thread. Here's what they said:

With our advertisment platform you send traffic to galleries and you can send traffic directly to paysites or datingsites. We don't offer any spots that can link to a MGP, Link List, and/or Blog.

So, since I don't want to send traffic to a paysite or a gallery, I'm taking them off my list for testing on this project.

More on the policies of the other sources as I find out what they do and don't allow.
