Having led a series of heavy load tests for a major consumer Internet site, the hard part is not generating a huge user load (even without clouds the big guys like Mercury and Keynote can generate plenty of traffic out of their datacenters), but making sure that the load is coming from a variety of different locations. This is extremely valuable because you can uncover corner cases that might kill you when you’re experiencing real load.

But i don think its legal to get traffic by this means if you are into some advertising programes
