There are a lot of tempting offers around the ‘net to buy targeted traffic or leads for your online business. In fact, I was just looking at one this morning that promised 30,000 unique visitors to your website for under $100…

Even though I have been online long enough to be wary of such companies, I was actually tempted to test this one out. The way that it was worded (ie “contextual advertising”) led me to believe that my links would be placed on relevant sites and that I was paying for actual click-through’s. No pop-up or pop-under or incentive traffic, so it was much like doing a paid link campaign except paying for actual clicks instead of just placement.
