Driving traffic to your site, scam?

[vlado]

there are services out there that offer to drive 10000 unique visitors to your site for only 50 bucks. Are those scams? If not, how do they do that?
Thanks

Seriously though, do you want 10,000 untargeted surfers herded through your site?

A single well-placed link will drive targeted traffic to your site that might actually convert to some sales and repeat traffic.

your competition can do this to you by clicking your google add, or you can do it to them, if you are not playing by the rules.
Scary!

Vlado, sorry about that, but the Click Monkey site is a joke, intended only to give people a laugh. None of the "info" presented there is meant to be taken seriously.

Mods, maybe remove that link? Caffeine Deficient thinking on my part.
