There is a demand for good traffic. I once worked in TimeShare when I was 17.. Same concept I got paid a finders fee when I sent TARGETED traffic to the unit and then I would get an override on any sales.
I work for an international Media/Advertising/Publishing and Events company who spends $1000s each day on net advertising.. now out of all that traffic you could expect to get 8 signups a week, however you end up paying for 800-1000 click throughs a day.
Now to advertise in one of our magazines would cost a company $15,000 or to Speak at one of our events would cost anything over $35,000.. However our clients can expect to get there money back and more.. because we take the time to filter the right people for the circulation and we filter the delegation for the conference.
Traffic on domains is to Chaotic.. the ROI is a huge issue at the moment.. the world is in economic slowdown, budgets get cut and Advertisers want more return for there dollar..
Now answer this.. would your client of paid you if you were sending them homeless bums and kids.. or where you given a brief as to the type of person to target?
If your traffic is however good with no kids or bums then you are in the minority. However you would deserve to get rewarded for your traffic.. the industry knows that if you buy a domain for $6 and make $60 a year from it then your have a great business model.. registrars and advertising companies are buying domains in the tens of thousands each day to park on there own programs and forward the traffic on to there clients.
If we can do it then there is no reason why they cant also.. what we are talking about is quality and not so much quantity.. this is what the industry will pay for and its what they will reward. Good qualiry Targeted Generic domains will be the ones to watch..

Sign me up for one of these proposed programs where you send me traffic all day long and you not get any money from it. Regardless of whether or not a sale is made a live body is walking in their door. It's not the traffic providers responsibility to close a sale.
Lets use a company I use to work for as an example. We ran promotions for car lots. Our whole objective was to get people to come to the car lot however we could. We got paid very nicely for each head we brought in regardless of whether a sale was made or not because that wasn't our job. |
