Where would you send it to? Which aff. program would you choose?

Ok, let's imagine you have a friend - a very good one :)
And this friend... He has a network of domains, sites, mostly adult stuff, and an army of webmasters, ready to throw a few million hits (visits) a day in your direction.

Sounds nice, doesn't it? You can provide those webmasters with different banners/ads to divide traffic streams and get this traffic more or less targeted, so it's not just bulk traffic you don't know anything about;

The questions are:

1. Eventually, you'll have to pay for this traffic: what should be the price per say, 1000 visits? It's not pop-unders or pop-ups, banner clicks.

2. What market would you target with that traffic? Trying to figure out is it a good idea at all.. The guy claims to have virtually unlimited resources of traffic and I believe him, he's in online business for a while and I know he makes a lot, so it's not just "a guy I met in the bar the other night".

Traffic from adult websites is usually pretty cheap, but it's hard to convert.

I've seen sites that sell 1k uniques for $1 (untargetted, usually non-english). But it usually goes to about $5/k (somewhat targetted, english speaking). And yes, these sites can push traffic like nobody's business. I ran one that was getting 50k+ uniques/day, convereted about 1:800 (making $25/sale), and only cost about $3/k. Good stuff it is if you know how to manage it well enough.

The problem you're really going to face is whether your servers can handle the load.

We have a P4 2Ghz rack server that runs most of our ecommerce sites. It takes about 40k uniques/day and it's running at 60% of it's resources. Now this is a dedicated enterpise server (2gigs ram, Raid, OC-11 pipeline)

If you're site is simply sitting on a shared hosting website, good luck getting past about 10k visitors/day. It'll drop like a rock, especially when the other sites on the server are busy.

That sounds like pretty crappy traffic and it would be hard to convert. Allclicks is currently offering $20/1000 visitors so take that for what it's worth.

You don't send the traffic to any one program. You set up a nice directory style site that will hopefully filter the traffic.

If the surfer tries to leave your site without clicking on a link then you need to send that surfer to toplist or something like that to exchange him for some traffic that may click on on of your links or merchants.

There are all kinds of toplists out there for humor, fishing, music...just about any other topic you can think of.

Allclicks pays $0.02 per CLICK and not per visitor.
I don't believe there is any program paying more than $4.00 per 1k visitors.
