Here are the main traffic providers:
The Ad Networks
Ad Networks are the companies that that serve as bridging points – and as traffic brokers – connecting buyers and sellers alike. Among some of the best adult ad networks out there, there’s TrafficHaus, TrafficJunky, Traffic Force, TrafficFactory, JuicyAds, AdXpansion, ExoClick, PlugRush, EroAdvertising, and Etology.
The Webmaster
There are still a lot of site owners out there that won’t sell their ad space to networks. They themselves prefer dealing with their site’s traffic monetization operations and you can negotiate ad spots directly from them.
Web Browsers
Another way to buy some traffic is to deal directly with the browsers for better ranking. The most popular browser being Google, you can go through Google Adwords to advertise.

Why Isn’t My Traffic Converting?
Here are examples of the kind of traffic you can buy at an Ad Network:
RON – ROTATION ON NETWORK
This is a campaign in which your ads rotate on a network of sites; spots that are part of a packaged deal and can’t be sold separately. This traffic typically consists of different sources (websites, blogs, forums, etc…) and this in turn, creates the RON.
REMNANT traffic
Remnant traffic is traffic at a discount. Essentially, it’s the leftovers; it’s traffic the biggest media buyers in the game couldn’t do much with… and that is why it’s sold at such bargain prices.
But you know the saying, the leftovers of others make a feast for some!
The harder-to-convert traffic of industry players may actually be to your benefit if you have a decent geo-targeting strategy.

One term you will often hear in the online marketing world is Conversion Rate or CR.
It’s defined as the percentage of users who accomplish a desired action (ex: click) on a webpage, generating a commission in the form of a lead or a sale.

From Newbie to Media Buying Authority – Part 2 – 10 Things to Ask Before Buying Flat
A Media Buyer can be thought of as a trader, buying low and selling high, but with ads instead of stocks. He looks for the best ad placements and aims to monetize the traffic with the highest paying ad programs.
The more expensive the spot, the greater likelihood your ad will be seen by more people.
Remember, high traffic websites are like prime pieces of real estate: well positioned on a busy street corner with plenty of passersby.
A lot of publishers and advertisers are in fact, media buyers themselves. If by chance they’re not, they’ll sure want to collaborate with one.
In other words, the media buyer’s a middleman. And because he’s a solo act, it’s far easier to deal with him than a bunch of small time publishers.

A tracker (Sub ID) is a way to tag your campaigns, traffic sources, ad spots, and banner names. A tracker helps you pinpoint how many hits are coming from a particular source and how many sales are being generated.
Trackers are data… and data is information.
The information contained within a tracker should be relevant to your campaigns.
Trackers can be thought of as little memory cues that can help jog your memory on what you’ve done (that turned out to be successful), or that provide you with great insight of your success.
