Unless its from a reputable network such as Google Adwords or similar then I wouldn't chance it. Most of the traffic buying programs/sites are just a waste of money that send junk traffic that wont convert.

Are you looking at something specific?

You would be better off keeping your money than going down the traffic buying sites.

Getting traffic to a site like yours can be a slow process. If you are a member of gaming forums make sure to add your site link to your profile signature. If you are not a member then you should consider joining some and become a reputable member. Forums can be a great way of achieving traffic but it does take work & time.

Just make sure not to join a forum for the purpose of dropping links as its frowned upon by members and forum owners. Add some value to to your posts and you'll find people will start to check out your site.

Buying traffic? That scam has been going for years. You pay and they send you hits from all kind of weird sources without you gaining anything but bandwidth increase...

If I were you, keep marketing to the side for the moment and look more into building links to the website by all means (without becoming a spammer).

Optimize your website to achieve a better SE ranking and have a bit a patients.

I wouldn't waste my money (cash and bandwidth) on these offers. I mean think of how these people could be able to deliver such traffic in such short periods of time (and for so cheap).

There are numerous ways of implicitly paying for traffic if that makes sense..

e.g. 'entrecard' for your blog.
Competitions etc..
