It's NOT SEO
What is the difference between a used-car sales person and a SEO sales person?
Answer: The used-car sales person knows he is lying about what he is selling.
There are a number of people and companies that sell traffic or "hits" to your web site. Many offer choices of targeted or un-targeted, traffic from blogs, traffic from expired domains, traffic from pop-ups, or traffic from a detour sign posted near an off-ramp on Interstate 35W.
Almost all that are not scams are worthless in my experience. This is because either the quality of the traffic is bad or the visitors don't really see your site even if a "hit" is registered in your stats. But even if the traffic is real and valid the fact remains that they are not looking for what you are offering. If your site is amazing and your offer unresistable, then you may see some benefit from the traffic and for you it may be a viable choice. For the most part it doesn't work.
It Has No Intelligence
So I got a call today (first time from a company like this) from a guy marketing for http://www.ArtificialIntelligenceSEO.com telling me about how great the service is and that they have a free trial. When I asked where the traffic comes from he could not tell me. When I said is your company using this he said yes. When I asked, so if this works so well, why are you calling me? He said they want to own the Internet. To his credit, the caller thought he was promoting a good thing. I think it will bother him when he later finds out the reality of the offer.
The Complaints Are Not Artificial
I was not sure about my attitude on this, but then I did some searches and easily found this complaint about Artificial Intelligence SEO and it confirms for me that they should be avoided like all the others selling "traffic" and "hits to your web site".

The idea of commenting has become a single battlefield for pro marketers to build their South Dakota Loan backlinks without using any brain power against people who are genuinely interested in getting their point across in a constructive way so the reader wants to visit their site to see what makes them tick.
I have only been involved in the blogging sphere for a very short time, and I must say, I find the South Dakota Loan comments part of increasing frustration when just spammy trash is entered.
However I think it works both ways. The blogger has to have the same comitment to reading the South Dakota Loan replies as to the original blog post, and to that end should ensure the replies are as valid as the South Dakota Loan content. The atmosphere is changing rapidly out in the consumer search arena, and if the bloggers don't run with the virtues extolled, then they will find themselves disappearing as quickly as they rose.
