When your website has everything in place and ready to go 'live' on the Internet, the next most important thing is to get visitors on your website.

You can have great-looking website, you can have good quality contents, but if you have no visitors to your website, your website is as good as junk.

Knowing that getting traffic can make or break the success of any website, some people jumped on that opportunity and came up with the "guaranteed traffic" scheme to mercilessly squeeze money out of those who desperately need traffic to their website.

By the way, what is "guaranteed traffic"?

For example, let's say John Doe is the traffic vendor and he sells these traffic packages on his website:

· $60 for 20,000 guaranteed visitors - It means you pay $60 to him and he'll get 20,000 web visitors for you

· 250 guaranteed signups at $200 - It means you pay $200, and you'll have 250 people to opt into your database

Here's the scenario of John sending you "guaranteed traffic".

Step 1: You pay John for the traffic purchase

Step 2: John keeps half of the money and distributes the other half among his members who will then click to go to your website

Step 3: You get the number of visitors or opt-ins you required for your website. Your deal with John has been fulfilled.

[Note: you're John's customer, not his member. John will have other websites that help him sign up free members who are always on standby to visit other people's websites in return for some money.]

Such a scheme is commonly called "paid-to-click" or "paid-to-signup". Meaning, John's members get paid for clicking to visit your website or opt into your database.

So, you think those people who visit your website carry genuine interest in your product offer?

The answer is NO.

Check with any guru or expert, they'll tell you it's a waste of money and effort to buy such kind of traffic because those visitors are only interested to make spare cash by visiting other people's websites.

If you're one of those people who love to get paid by clicking to visit websites or opt into database, you'd love to have such a scheme to help you make some spare cash.

But if you need serious people to hop on your website in order to create more sales, then those paid-to-click or paid-to-signup visitors are definitely not what you want.

So don't be too happy yet when you receive guaranteed visitors or signups on your website. Because these are the people that usually disappoint you in your sales.

Who's actually making sales instead? It's John, not you.

So, the conclusion is, don't get swayed by the smoke and mirrors and dump your money in such "guaranteed traffic".

Focus more on search engine traffic or advertise using pay-per-click, these are your better way of getting serious visitors who are genuinely interested in your product offer.

And thus increasing your chances of grabbing more sales.

Special note: Difference between pay-per-click and paid-to-click

Pay-per-click and paid-to-click are 2 totally different advertising methods.

Unlike paid-to-click visitors who get paid for visiting your website, pay-per-click works in such a way that you pay only when someone clicks on your ad to go to your website.

This type of visitors are not being paid for visiting your website, meaning they go to your website out of pure interest, thus you're more likely to make sales.
