yeah, only deal with reputable people. If someone is significantly cheaper than everyone else, there's a reason for it.

begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from
Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen
year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark.Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteena Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is
nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

most importantly, before you pour all that traffic into your site, make sure you have a good live feed provider. Check my sig

What do you consider "major"?

I buy traffic on a daily basis. Some days I take a loss, but I figure that into my ROI equation.

Default Not too huge a purchase. Just a million hits

I have it set up with a 100k test at first with an imediat halt so i can review the results then if it went well and i don't feel screwed, then i can open up the rest od the hits.

I don't know if that covers my ass but since i am new to buying traffic, It was the first thing to come to mind.

The reason i am buying traffic is becasue i am converting clicks to hits @ 50% and clicks to sign ups @ 1/9 with my existing traffic.

I figure That if i convert @ .001% i will make a killing of this promotion.

Does that sound like i have my head in the clouds by expecting at least .001% sign ups

Lemme know

Also if you have traffic for sale please post your rates for 500,000 - 1,000,000 hits

I am buying all the traffic i can get.

What kind of traffic you'll be purchasing?
Just make sure you have a solid script that does geo, prod and proxies tracking.

You'd be supprised how much cheating is going on in the traffic brokerage business. I presume you don't want a large percentage of your traffic from non-english speaking countries, you want the traffic to click your site(s) link and you want the clicks to be generated by real humans and not a bot! Hence all those trackings are needed and more (i.e. cost per click, hits per hour/day, ref log, ip log, links log, etc.)
