I personally do not want loads of traffic that is just there for free stuff or whatever coming in droves...I want traffic that actually has some intention of buying something.
1 visitor that actually comes with credit card in hand is worth many times more than 1000 people who just want to get something for nothing.
If however it is a specific keyword or three that can easily be used to make money, that is different
I bought two expired domains from Dynadot auction.One of them had more than 15K visits a month.I parked them at sedo.There was traffic indeed,but not a single click.I moved it to all parking platforms,until I found a day that the traffic vanished like nothing.The result=>$100 wasted.
I am sure you have got my point.
