I took the Bait!

by Frank Jovine on 09/23/2008 in Business, Internet

I really enjoy researching and testing new things, especially tech stuff. I usually share my findings on my blog for the masses to read and hopefully learn from.

On September 19th – I was searching the internet for a company (BuyHitsCheap.com) that can guarantee web traffic that is unique and not bot generated. The key things that I was searching for were.

  1. Human traffic
  2. Fast delivery
  3. Convert new fans

I think that should be the normal prerequisites for this type of service. Unfortunately, this service has not even come close to living up to their so-called guarantee of web visitors. Here are some facts.

Campaign started on September 19th
Purchased 10,000 credits which equals 10,000 unique visitors
Total visitors sent as of September 23rd (413 of 10,000 visitors)

It has been 5 days now and I only received 413 visitors out of 10,000. I find it amazing that this company guarantees one million visitors in 30 days. How can that be possible when they can’t deliver 100 per day?

From BuyHitsCheap.com web site:
“Send up to one million real people directly to your website or online advertisement in one month.”

At least my investment was only $12.50 and the power of blogging is my way of fighting back. TechJaws.com averages well over 1000 unique visitors per day, but we wanted to see if we can leverage our traffic by using this campaign in hopes of converting 5 percent of the 10,000 visitors as fans of TechJaws.com.

    Thanks for the tip. I almost took the bait from buyhitscheap.com. Their claim sounded too good to be true. Thanks to google and techjaws.com and your blog, I saved myself the aggravation and $12.50.

    Neb,

    It’s a victory even to save one person from being taken!

    By the way, the same problem I have with targetwebvisitors.com They send me 280 visitors / day. And only 5 percent unique in all traffic.

    Malena,

    I am glad that I could help you in your decision on selecting targeted traffic from other sources. I highly recommend that you don’t use buyhitscheap.com.
