I was researching alternative ways to bring in targeted traffic to websites. I came across a website that promises to deliver targeted traffic by redirecting visitors through expired domains, redirectedvisitors.com. Their prices are quite reasonable. 5000 unique visitors are $28.95, that’s less than a penny per visitor.

They offer to redirect visitors from expired domains. These are domains that registrars are holding for up to 90 days while they are trying to get domain owners to renew. Redirectedvisitors.com contracts with registrars to sell this search engine traffic that is already targeted.

This sounds like a good clean traffic. They promise that you will not receive the same visitor twice for the entire duration of your ad campaign. This is based on the IP address of the visitor.

This looks like a great deal. My first step was to contact redirectedvisitors.com. They don’t have a phone number on their website and I couldn’t get a response from their contact form on their site. This stated to make me suspicious.

My next step was to do a search on Google to see if others were happy or upset with their results from redirectedvisitors.com.

Positive comments (I could only find one)

1. “I have purchased two standard campaigns so far, and I am very pleased with the RedirectedVisitors.com service. All the traffic I bought was delivered to my websites on time.” – Lorianna

Negative comments

1. “I decided to give the company a try and order 25,000 visitors which the company claimed would be sent from Expired Domain Names… I still had not received one site visitor.”  – Mary
2. “So if you’re thinking of doing business with this company, think again, because they will rip you off.” -Bob
3. “I ordered 25000 RedirectedVisitors… I still haven’t received any visitors. I sent several e-mail to the company but haven’t had one of them returned.” – Ewjp3630

If anyone has tried this service or a similar one, I would be interested in your experience.
