Hypothetical Question
And it actually is hypothetical!
Say you were given £250 (say $500) to spend on getting good traffic onto your sites, what would you do with it? Paid banner campaign? Pay for SEO? Pay to get one way hardlinks? Buy £250 quids worth of ale and hope the gods bless you with the answer? I ask because the amount isn't enough to get in a campaign with "the big boys" but it is enough that you wouldn't want to piss it away on a random test. |

In my opinion I wouldn't go with a paid banner campaign or SEO, the possibility of little to no return is too high.
I'd go with a hardlink or targeted, niche clicked traffic. |

I always wondered why someone would sell good traffic and not just use it on a cash converting project of their own.
From what I know about selling traffic, the seller figures what he/she can make on the traffic if he/she used it for their own purposes. Then they add at least 10% and sell it to you. This means you have to be at least 10% more effective that they would have been or you loose money. Just my 2 cents. |

Oh no, I'm sweating like Roger Ebert

Given the choices, I'd be headed to the pub. Left to my own devices I'd probably buy as many pre-built freesites as possible and use them to expand my existing network of sites.

How about a few trips to the pub? I'm my own best traffic generator. Some good down time keeps the juices flowing during up time.

I had that on my previous post - then deleted it. That's one of the ways I built my traffic to where it is now.

If there is nobody out there, that's a lot of real estate going to waste!

I'd suggest tossing maybe $100 at PPC for your best converting site, and hope you found a winner.
Costs can be high, but, the rewards can be good. |

Easy answer: you get the money upfront and let other fools gamble on commissions, shaving, site closures, etc, etc, etc. All traffic is golden and all traffic is shit.

If I had an unbudgeted $500 laying around, gathering dust, I'd order 25 sweet free sites from CrazySy and see if he'd throw in a one-page hub for another $100, linking to all those free sites. I'd mostly likely choose a niche that I wouldn't normally work myself and park it all on its own niche-specific domain.
