xyztraffic step inside: I need an explanation !
 

After seeing many people having their banner on sig I decided to test them with paid traffic. I bought 1K USA traffic to see do they really pay $2.5 per 1000? as they claim:

Before I even look at your stats... Here is their pay rates right from the index page. And no, I don't work for them...

I know this, but look the difference in clicks and origin of countries

Who did you buy your traffic from? As you can see in the graphic 1K of traffic is worth $1.50 when it is from good countries.

100% USA traffic, you can see google stats, blue area

Looks like you bought 928 visitors and 328 clicked through. Where's the problem?

His problem is that he bought bot traffic and not actual people sitting behind a computer.

WHO DID YOU BUY THE 1K HITS FROM???

Don't fuck up man, when you don't know about it. IT IS NOT BOT TRAFFIC. I USED MY AFF link to send them, no CTR

bought traffic is not always good and funny you have a juicy ads sig :)

A lot of different things could be going on here depending on the source where you bought this traffic and exactly what you bought. From your capture I notice the browsers are odd. IE is way overrepresented along with Safari. There's a lot of bot traffic out there which presents itself as IE. Often IE 6 or 7. Dig deeper to see if you have it. A normal browser distribution right now is somewhere around 33% IE, 33% Firefox, 33% Chrome add or subtract 10% to each.

But I don't get why anyone would sell traffic to these guys in the first place. Others pay far more. Especially if you're not sending 50,000 uniques. Why tolerate getting $1 less? I always thought that was crap from the start.

OP: Didn't you ever wonder why your conversion rates were so low?

Big guy has no credit card and space is considered one of the 'Bad Countries' VVVVV :1orglaugh

Looks like you bought the traffic from trafficbroker.com. Which used to be adyea.com - owned by kaktuz...

It seems the issue is with your traffic source, if you hit me up I'll be able to investigate it further.

tests on 1k traffic are usually pointless. imo..

what are you complaining about you made 12 cents didn't you?

This is what REAL USA traffic looks like:
