In many cases, the visitors sent through these types of offers aren't human visitors. You know the saying about if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Here are some threads for you to read that will give you some ideas about the right things you should do to get visitors to your site.

The keywords don't matter. You aren't going to get one million targeted human visitors to your site for $9.95, or even human visitors that aren't targeted. These types of things just take advantage of newbies.

The links I gave you will help you. There is a lot to read, but it will help you to become aware of what to do and what not to do.

You will get good advice here without people trying to sell you anything.

If it makes you feel better even I have fallen for things like that once or twice. Once even a guy I knew from a forum owned the traffic service, lots of people posted that it was legit. So I believe it was one of the better ones. However even that one - the traffic was not worth 9.95.

We all learn, usually the hard way, that like Larry said
"if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
Be glad your lesson only cost you 9.95 and not 995.00

It really sucks that people are allowed to keep misleading others like this. How many visitors for $9.95?

Cut your losses, do some seo or article marketing or social bookmarking and start building your traffic that way

I'm sorry that happened to you, BUT be glad you did not pay more, there are much more expensive scams out there.

There is no "magic", nothing can deliver 1,000,000 visitors to you except your own hard work, and certain techniques that are tried and true, like Article Marketing, Link Building, Forum Comment Links, etc...

Just keep at it and work on building real traffic and it will be all good.

Most of us here have dumped enough money to know what works and what doesn't.

Ask here before you spend and you will get a truthful anwer.

Great point! Especially with the things that sound too good to be true!
