Yes, I have used it a few times on a small scale ($20 a few times).
The traffic comes in waves - they'll send a bunch of traffic and then it drops off for a few minutes and then comes again. Make sure your site can handle 20-30 simultaneous visitors.
The quality of the visitor (in my opinion) is poor. Although you may have filtered it down to a group that you think is interested, remember that this is someone who is clicking a button to see a random page. It's highly likely that they're going to see your page and click the random button again.
If you're just looking for traffic, it's a great, cheap way to get some. If you're trying to sell something, I'd recommend something more targeted and traditional, like a facebook ad.
One thing I did notice: In the weeks and months following a paid campaign I would occasionally see an 'organic campaign' - a sudden rush of organic SU traffic, several times larger than the paid campaign, for no good reason.
- JonLim 14y agoThanks! I've come to the same conclusions (regarding the quality of visitor) for the very same reasons. Very much just a cheap way to get traffic, but not the best quality at all. Did the 'organic campaign' result in higher quality visitors at all, or just the same kind of people as before?
- dholowiski 14y agoThe organic was the same quality as the paid traffic. But my site isn't selling anything so even the quality of organic traffic I get from Google isn't very good.
- JonLim 14y agoGotcha. Thanks again!
