Cheapest Real (Non-Bot) Padding Traffic
As the title says, anyone have any good traffic sources that offer really really cheap padding traffic? So far it seems like PTC like Neobux seems the cheapest, anyone else ever use anything else? Thanks

i know folks use adon for similar purposes back in the day... they have gone through a lot of changes though and traffic quality has gone UP and DOWN
might be worth chatting to a rep there?

Could someone explain to me why this would be useful? I'm not usually confused but I can only assume this is for nefarious purposes.

If you're using marketing tactics that are frowned upon and achieve results that are exponentially better than other affiliates, you draw scrutiny into your methods of promotion unless you bring your stats back down to the stratosphere. Thanks for the tip on JemaCPV, I'll check it out. Hope they have enough volume as Tjin indicated though.

I don't quite understand how this works. Your traffic converts better than average so you want "padding" traffic that doesn't convert well to even things out? I don't get it.

Might also be used for Garbitrage.
Garbitrage = You sell CPM space on your site at like $3 per thousand impressions. You have 3 ad spaces you sell at this price.
You buy the dirtiest, cheapest, highest volume "padding" traffic you can find to artificially inflate your traffic to deliver those impressions. The key is the traffic you buy is cheaper than the traffic you sell so you arbitrage it, but this is super dirty stuff as the traffic is mostly garbage, hence the term = garbitrage.

If you convert "TOO GOOD" on an offer, say for example you were pushing a dating site and doing 1 in 3 conversions. They might flag you for cheating, when really you aren't. So if you buy say 2400 crap hits for say $3 for the day, and spread that out to 100 crap hits an hour, your ratio won't be 1:3 it will be much worse now, and they won't flag or cut you from the offer.
Make sense?

I don't think it would be this.
That process seems kind of backwards. If you are converting "TOO GOOD" on an offer, then you are most likely incentivizing or doing something fraudulent. If not, then why should the advertiser care? If you want to cover up incent / fraud traffic with padding traffic that's even more dumb, because you'll get found out eventually anyway because your quality will be shit. No amount of padding is going to cover that up. And at the end of the day, every advertiser's yardstick is quality and ROI. Why even bother buying padding traffic?
Sorry, that wasn't meant to be a rant...

I was getting about 150k views per day bidding .005 (min). You might be able to get more with a higher bid.

Yea, you have to contact them to get them to activate your account.

Does the traffic need to be from some specific country?
If you want worldwide traffic I can give you 1000 views for $0.84. (Full Page Ad)
or 1000 banner impressions for $0.33.
It's 100% real traffic, I own an ad network, message me if you are interested.
