He has since staged a comeback, and is blogging again, but I can't help wondering if the 'sale' was a publicity stunt of some kind.

It would have got him a better and targeted traffic, if he had bought a review in Kumiko's blog or any other blog as you said. The traffic that comes from a paid review is targeted which you might already have experienced as you have bought some good reviews. I agree Kevin.

I also browse the SitePoint Marketplace on a regular basis and I don't think I have ever become a regular visitor of a site that was for sale, even if it was on a topic I was interested in. So you are correct, you don't get repeat visitors, and in addition, that traffic certainly won't click on any ads or buy anything from affiliate links. I agree completely.

If I had forty dollars to throw out and try to get some traffic, I would more quickly spend it on advertising that I knew would get me some loyal visitors instead of this. Great post. :) I agree with you completely, I do not understand why anyone would do that.

We want targeted and not just random traffic. And in last week problogger pointed out that adsense click rate is much depended on targeted traffic. I think we agree on this point.
