    No. It isn't real traffic, and you won't make money of forum boosting of traffic ad buys because they won't click on adverts or write posts. Advertising using google and other forums on the same scheme as yours is a safe bet

    Thanks

    I suppose your right, but often these paid-to-post schemes have people posting complete BS. The best system is to advertise using google or yahoo or using SEO tactics on specific keywords

    Thanks

    "Effective" advertising pays it's own way.

    Paying for traffic? If you're talking about "high quality targetted traffic" like you might get with an "Effective" Adwords campaign then I would say "yes".

    Forum boosting? I've hired multiple companies in the past and I couldn't recommend a one of them. This has led me to consider this avenue a dead end.

    Forum boosting can be effective, if the writers are knowledgeable.

    I think it might be a good idea to post a lot of messags in news groups, and have your link as your sig file. If you can write good messages that start people talking, they may get curious and check out your site.

    Complete BS you say, what do you usually see..complete spam, no knowledge of what their talking about. Well maybe you havent seen the of forum boosting i guess. I think that their assigned to forums that they "specialize" in if that has any meaning in this situation.

    Well, thats just opening cans of spam. And probably, they get yelled at alot. I admit, i like being a spammer, getting those nice posts. Its fun to get ahead of everyone, but when it comes to paid work? I try my best NOT to spam, but its just like a second habit of mine.
