personal feedback on PR services and traffic purchase
traffic: bought traffic packages in large quantities ( 000's of so called "targeted " visitors at a time )
result: I saw my counter going up but put money in the trash.
Press release to 20 000 magazines worldwide + blumberg "network cost: $ 600
result: nothing but phone calls from stubburn sales people calling again from NY and..... Tokyo(!!) calling and again trying to sell me stocks, I deduct my phone number was sold by the financial "network" to incredible clowns calling again and again thinking that I was Aristote Onassis or some kind of billionnaire.
and to partnerships requests ( usually by mail) or online interview proposals many answered yes with enthousiasm ( joy from god? " en ...theos siasmos") and then forgot they answered yes
