Buy.

Has its benefits and shortcomings. Benefits are easy split testing, immediate control, and scaling the shit out of profitable campaigns.

You can pull a years salary out of a 3 week campaign.

Typically paid up front for leads though, meaning I don't do much revshare.. So when I stop spending, profit nears a halt.. but on the flip side you can harvest your own leads ;)

But as with anything, investing up front does come with its own risks. Be sure to work with programs directly to avoid any confusion.

I have never bought traffic.

It's like getting laid. You can pay for it, or get it for free. Never pay for something if you can get it for free.

I'm having a social media, not a tube, but I simply updated my SEO settings and increased my registred users with about 400%.

Listen to the guy above ^

either can work. for tubes, buying traffic has more limited potential than SE traffic. You're basically limited to trying to convert CJ traffic or get listed on aggregator sites. The amount of traffic is somewhat limited and the profit margins are small.

Think about it, if you get listed on tubegalore, you might buy 10k/month traffic and make 12k back. Well....you just made 2k. Tubegalore made 10k. Wouldn't you rather be tubegalore in this equation?

However, buying traffic can be great for SEO, if you know what to do with the traffic you buy.

I always thought SEO traffic works much better for climbing the ranking ladder for the targeted keywords. It’s hard to trust brought traffic with bots etc

When I was new to buying traffic I was trying to do arbitrage on feeder traffic (buy feeder traffic, generate clicks to sell to exoclick)

After cutting out all unprofitable traffic sources (domains) I had a slightly profitable campaign

Exoclick sends an angry email--"all this traffic is bot traffic!" I didn't even realize. My account probably would have been suspended if I hadn't been sending quality SE traffic already for years.

You can trust paid traffic if you buy it from premium sites....but its expensive.

We are new to running a tube, so 95% of traffic is paid. I agree with Diomed.

This is true. That's why I download all my movies from the piratebay, and when I need a new laptop, I just snatch one from someone who's sat outside starbucks...

Yeah about that.. i know some 8-figure a month people which wont agree with you
Tho, JT also bragged how he never paid for advertising, but he runned affiliate program which is type of advertising, it's simply different model then CPM advertising.

Unless you have no time and no personnel (to grind) and no personnel and no capital (to buy), why wouldn't you do both?

I wish there were more inched out traffic available to buy.
