I love hearing that xPeeps is throwing some traffic.. I can't wait to see how much it is going to throw in six months or a year.

Lily.. for your site I would suggest personal marketing techniques like using xPeeps. Work the surfers and make some friends.. make the men fall in love with you then upsell them.

Search engines.. You can buy very targeted traffic from the search engines and do well but there is a learning curve and it can be costly to figure out how to master it. If you do figure the engines out it is a perpetual traffic pump that you know precisely what your profit margins are. Doing organic search engine work is a whole other problem and you may do very well for awhile then completely fall off the map.

Buying bulk traffic.. bulk traffic comes from sites where everything is free. This traffic is much less likely to buy anything because they already know how to get they need to get off without paying for it. If your going to work the angles on bulk traffic I suggest you build galleries yourself and submit them instead of buying the traffic. Buying the traffic is not cheap and while you will get a ton of it your going to be dealing with the same sort of learning curve as the engines. If you get the formula right then you can make money.. other companies do it. The profit margins are small on bulk traffic.

Starting out the absolute best way to generate traffic is by not paying for it. I think the goal is to be a well rounded webmaster.. its not reasonable to expect your going to be really good at buying traffic if you don't understand how to get it for free. It is more difficult today than in years past but it can be done. If your willing to invest the time your probably going to have grand success in the years to come. Throwing money at a problem is the last action not the first.
