This is a very funny thread. You guys are basically talking about reversing the bidding process. Bids go up, not down. Traffic goes to the highest bidder. However much that is, you'll end up getting more traffic if you pay what people are selling at.

This thread is sort of like complaining that there's more well-funded, and higher quality competitors. That's the way an unregulated market is supposed to work. Competition fuels better deals, and better quality. This is what brings all the technological innovation well all see around us.

If you feel like you're getting the short end of the stick as a program, you have two options. You can either work your asses off on providing a better product for your surfers. Or you can pay more for your traffic. Paying less for your traffic is NOT an option, unless you simply don't want traffic. In this case, your business will simply die. Unless you can sustain yourself on your own traffic.

If you're upset that you're not getting enough traffic for your money, maybe you should work on increasing the quality of your content.

Get competitive. Don't try to reverse the process. That won't help anyone, not even yourselves.

And if anyone wants help with their quality, I'll shoot your content.
