Guys I posted a warning about “Targeted Traffic Programs” You may wish to refer to it before making any purchase decisions.
OBTW Chad at Gaming Hits recently offered a Kanoodle PPC deal where he promised targeted clicks that were to be filtered to remove non uniques, asian traffic and hotbar. Even though the listing was “Run of Site” the link clearly stated “Do You want to Gamble Online?”
They were also supposed to be limited to Kanoodloid placement at the bottom of pages and as such should have been a decent buy at 4-6 cents per click. Well, even though I knew Kanoodle had a very poor track record and was known for worthless cgi generated traffic I went for the deal and wasted $500.00. Out of 10,000 “hits” I netted no real players. The same thing happened to two other friends and one poor fellow from the UK lost $1000.
Lesson learned; Real traffic costs real money. No one is going to sell you real gambling traffic for pennies a hit. If there was ANY value whatsover to these hits you can be sure the casinos would buy them all day long at Dollars per click not pennies.
Chad’s position on all this varied from “Its cheap Traffic, you cant expect much” to “Oh well, you didnt set up a proper landing page’ or in the case of my friend he insinuated the site was poorly designed!!! Despite numerous emails, PM and phone messages on his answering machine he refuses to call me back. I guess that I should have followed my instincts but I trusted him because we are both members of a webmaster organization. What a shame….
Live and Learn.
