Just for the heck of it a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd trial some fiverr services and see if they were worth persuing. One of them was a "I will send you 3000 genuine human visitors to your web page"

So I did it and sent them to one of my pages that's loaded up with adsense.

Cost - £3.15 GBP
Adsense revenue - about £25

That's quite an ROI, I'm considering making some more pages with higher paying keywords and doing it again.

Incidentally of the 200 or so clicks I got they worked out each at about £0.10 - £0.15/click which is a lot less than the clicks I get from non fiverr traffic - it's usually >£1 per click..

The ROI is still very nice though

Did you monitor the landing page with Google Analytics? Where did the visitors all come from?

Also, nice job.

Thanks

Yeah, it showed them as all coming from 'direct'. I thought it might be some script to redirect people from expired domains while hiding where they came from or something like that.

You were lucky!

I bought 5.000 visitors once to test it out. These visitors had a bounce rate of 97%, while my site normally had 40-50%.

Keep on going! If you can keep that statistic.... Well good stuff! ;-)

Find out where those visitors are coming from...it's possible that Google would consider this black hat and ban your AdSense account.

Yes - that was my thought as well. Be very careful not to get your AdSense account banned. That would really suck.
