HostGorilla Traffic: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order?
Click all of the links above and pick out a campaign. Enter your website URL, highlight (by clicking on) the amount of visitors, and click the PayPal logo. Then just follow the on-screen prompts. If you're not a PayPal member, joining is easy and they take the major credit cards.

How long will it take to process my order?
We will tell you 24 to 48 hours. In reality, usually within a few hours.

How do I track my campaign?
When you order, you will receive an address where you will find your statistics. You can stop and restart your campaign as well.

What types of payments do you accept?
We accept major credit cards through PayPal.

Are there other types of traffic than you offer? We have over 50 types of traffic available for purchase. And what we don't have, we can get: so let us know what you want.

What are these pop-ups you are talking about These are ads that pop up into the page you are viewing. If you haven't seen them, and been annoyed by them, you've been living in a cave. We do offer "1 Popup Allowed" as well as Unlimited Popups campaigns. Our most effective ads are deployed behind the page being viewed (they're called pop-behinds), so they are not intrusive, thus are more likely to be viewed with interest.

How do I know you are giving me value?
First and foremost, we challenge you to buy a very small campaign when you first join us Nobody else does this! This gives you a basis of comparison against the other traffic out there. If we had poor quality traffic, doesn't it make sense that we would be trying like crazy to get you to buy the biggest campaign you could afford? (Hey, the web is big: if I screw everybody just once, I can get rich!) We want your business tomorrow and next week too, and we've done our homework so we can get it.

The rest of the answer is going to be lengthy, so have a cookie:

There are two things that are going to determine the price you pay for traffic: Targeting and Uniqueness of Visitors.

Targeting
When you purchase traffic, you must always be aware of how the visitors are targeted. This does not always mean by category (like shopping, etc.), but by geographic location as well. Many companies prefer not to reveal this imperative information for fear they will lose all of their clients. If you find someone who is selling very low cost traffic be sure to find out WHERE [geographically] the visitors are coming from. Most likely if they do not tell you, the visitors are mainly from Asia (since it is very easy to generate extremely high amounts of traffic cheaply from Asian sites) and the visitors will not be interested in (or not even be able to read) your website or advertisement - a complete waste of money.

Another facet of targeting is how the visitors are "chosen" to see your site. You may not know this, but many companies will try to fool you into thinking visitors are coming to your site by putting your site in a mini frame with a hundred others, using a script to generate hit after hit, etc. Try asking the competition where the visitors come from, we bet they won't tell you. Our visitors come from numerous places. If you purchase targeted visitors, they could come from Altavista, Lycos Network, Mamma.com, Netflip, and many other independent sites. For most of our untargeted traffic, the visitors are coming from traffic exchange services. Webmasters who want free traffic will signup to show two ads on their site for one shown on somebody else's in return. The first visitor they get, they show the ad of another site in the network, the second visitor they get, they show the ad of a paid advertiser (you).

Well, how on earth are we getting TARGETED visitors to you? The idea is simple. Sites like AltaVista have extremely targeted categories that get a lot of visitors. For example, someone may go to AltaVista and look for forums, articles, or information about running a home based business. BINGO! Altavista's computers immediately look through their database of running campaigns and look for the campaigns targeted to business. They choose which of those sites need the visitor the most and they are immediately swept away to see your site. Pretty neat eh? Well it is neat if you know what kind of traffic you're buying. What was just described is the traffic we sell. We have investigated and sampled virtually EVERY other traffic sources' services (of course we want to check out our competition) and have found NOBODY is selling traffic of this quality. Most of the targeted visitors are not even targeted. Ask them how they target their visitors, they probably won't even respond to your email.

Uniqueness
This topic is just as, if not more important than the targeting issue. When you are buying visitors, hits, or whatever you want to call them, you MUST know how unique the visitors are. Lower priced traffic is always less unique, and vice versa. When companies refer to uniqueness of their visitors they will refer to it in an amount of time. As an example, 12hr. unique. This means that if they pop your site to a visitor, they record that person's IP address. If they come back and see your site again within that same 12hr time period from when they first saw your ad, it will not be counted again as another visitor. However if they come again more than 12hrs after the last time they were counted as seeing your site, they can be counted again, as another visitor.

The same goes for 24hr unique, only this time a visitor will never be counted twice in the same 24 hr period no matter how many times they actually view your pop ad. With campaign unique traffic, which is the best you can buy, no same IP address will be counted twice as a visit during the ENTIRE campaign period, no matter how many visitors you buy and no matter how long you want the campaign to run for. EVERY counted visitor will be a completely different person. BEWARE though when purchasing cheap traffic from other sources, they may not tell you how unique the visitors are. Many times they are only 1hr unique! Which means they can count the same person every hour as a new visitor! Even worse they may be selling raw hits, which means every single time the person revisits or refreshes the page, it is counted as another visit, doesn't matter how long it's been since they last visited. We do not try to trick you in any way and always tell you what type of visitors you are getting, our competitors do not.

Do you buy traffic?
