Just had an offer of 1,000,000 specific UK visitors for clothing related phrases for 1p per visitor.
Nearly snapped his hand off at that price, but a little chappie whispered a warning in my ear that it was 2 good 2 b true! Anyone else had a call from these guys?
Oh, or £60 for 1000 visitors, as a trial! Bargain! So how come I find it so difficult to get 1,000,000 UK visitors, specific to my products?

They must be superb. Call themselves oooops or something.

Anyone else been targeted?

I haven't been hit up by that company, but I am in the US ;) However I'd really reseach the people before you buy into it - May be a new engine where you will get the impressions/keywords but the engine doesnt get the traffic since only the advertisers will know about it. In the US I was hit up by many companies offering me this wonderful kind of traffic - I went to their site and happened to find their stats page ;) heheh silly ol' me accidentially running into stuff like that. Anyways their traffic was about 200 hits a day, and no incoming traffic probably just them calling people and telling them about it ;)

I would say to be very, very careful with offers like this.
Although some will be genuine, some will not. There are hits being sold off all over the place on sites like ebay.

Some of the scam ones make sure that your 'visitors' will not actually see your site. Your site may be loaded into tiny <iframe>'s through a redirect script so your site is getting the hits but you can't find out where they are coming from.

The people who made you this offer could be 100% legit, but I say to be careful after what I've seen with some people selling 'traffic'.

Also, I saw on eLance once somebody trying to get a 'stealth hit generator' made. The specs said that the script should be built to mimic the actions of real people browsing a site with different browsers, IP's, pages viewed etc. (but no real people would ever see the site)

Its a nasty world out there!
I will have to teach my little girl about it one day. At 17 months, she is catching on to manipulation!

Does anyone know of any bulk traffic providers that do actually provide real unique ip based visitors?

All I have seen are either scams or junk traffic providers or load your site in useless popups. If you just want to do some economic brand building does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi
Don't know whether I should say this here... but we are genuine and provide good quality traffic. The simple formula for us is a useful and fast site which is easy to find in the serps. From that we have built up a genuine service providing other sites with 95% uniques everyday. We filter the traffic for relevancy as much as we can and now have a good branding in the uk for our niche.

The problem we have is there are so many dishonest promises made by competors that we are understandably treated with suspicion. It's difficult to convince sites to give us a go.
