Average of $1 per vote seems kind of pricey. However, sites I’ve seen doing this same type of service are about the same. If someone came out with this same service, but charged 50cent a vote, that would be killer!

I could never use this service and still feel good about myself... I'm still working the video...I'm sick, behind on many things, but it's still in queue guys...just fyi for those interested...I have not forgotten it. Just want to make sure I don't allow the law hammer to drop on my wee little head. Check out Wayne John's last blog post..Navigating the Blogger Administration Interface

Thanks for sharing this info. As dex mentioned, the first burst of social traffic is for a day or two and it will only put enormous stress on your server. However, the there are indirect benefits like backlinks from other sites, including some other social media sites. E.g. Many people bookmark some digg stories in delicious and stumbleupon.

That is great to hear. Which voting package did you order? Did you get the 100 vote package or the 200 vote package? Also, which social network did you choose? Thanks for sharing your experience with this.

I can agree with that. For me, I know for a fact that social traffic is no good for my niche blogs that are monetized with Google AdSense. But often I do wonder what would happen if I were to snag a product or service from places like MarketLeverage and instead of go the PPC route, go the social network route?

I have quite a few online friends who could help me push something, but I know that I couldn’t get to the front page of Digg very easily. I think it takes quite a few votes to get to the Digg front page.

Once again, I am not here to say paying for votes is right or wrong, I am more / less just looking at the math behind it. I know that PPC is quite expensive, especially if you’re like me and don’t know much about it, but one thing I know for sure, is that social network traffic can totally kill a server with tons of traffic.

StumbleUpon.com gives me a lot of traffic when someone submits something into their network, and at times it does put a huge strain on my server resources. Something like this very well might work. But as you said, it really depends on what you are expecting to receive from the traffic.

in my experiece, social traffic is junk… they dont stay long, click on anything or purchase any product. Most if the time it all about votes for the page pushers
