When I first got started, everyone warned me not to mess with these bulk traffic deals, but I just had to go out and blow some money and see for myself. Everyone who warned me was right. These traffic deals are awful. As bad as Kanoodle is, I at least got 1 player there. (And it was bad enough that I wouldn’t spend any money there again.)
Dom’s suggestion about an SEO is a good one, but you might also think about checking out a couple of the better ebooks on SEO and try a little do-it-yourself SEO. I liked Aaron Wall’s SEO Book, and I also think Planet Ocean’s Unfair Advantage book is pretty good.
