Target traffic waste of time
Well tell you the truth i wouldnt bother with buying targeted traffic since they are a waste of time and money. There are many companies out there that sell and resell traffic. I have noticed from past experience and research that the majority of there companies send fake visitors to your website that use proxy servers so that it shows on your stats as unique visitors.
Buying Search Engine Submission. Never do it
Why waste your money when you can do it for free by doing it your self. There are several options that are available and they are all free.
1. Submit your website manually to search engines.
2. Use free software that will submit your site to all the major search engines. A good example software is WEBCEO (free download)
www.webceo.com you can submit your website to over 100 major serchengines in 5 - 20 minutes.
What Will I Pay For: the best option
1. directory submission services
2. advertising direct from related websites
3. ppc advertising (Adwords, overture,etc)
These 3 are the most common advertising methods that i use and the all work.
Hope this helps with your question.
