In past I purchased a solo and received nothing but clicks from ppc or other traffic sites. None came from a solo email. I have also got op-ins with email addresses that look awful fishy and they never respond to my personal email just see if they are real.
How can we be sure the traffic we buy is from a genuine source here and people are real that op-in?????
That's when a good tracking software comes in handy.
Your tracking software must either be able to track engagement or click-throughs on the next page(s) of your funnel.
If you got email submits on your squeeze page but nobody (or a very low % of people that opted in) have clicked through to your bridge page that lead visitors to your primary offer, then chances are high that you got bot traffic or injected leads that obviously cannot take action on anything.

Damn, I'm loving the new "filtered clicks: send to" and overdelivery link settings in the solo swipe section. Great addition, Uncle D!

This is really an awesome feature... thanks Uncle D!

It's better to use SMTP relay services and manage your lists on your own platform.... if you pick the right services to use, it can actually be way inexpensive than services like Aweber. What you need though is a good emailing platform not just for sending emails but for automatic handling of bounces, complaints, etc. as well.

Udimi: I suggest that you put a small note on the solo buyer swipe page (just a little above the buyer's tracking link) that says the same thing as the one we have in the help area.. "Remember: do not send earlier than the actual solo date. System will ignore all early traffic." because I think not a lot of people read the "How to Sell Email Solo Ads" page. I haven't been there myself until today, but lucky me, I'm already aware of this "no early sending" rule from Safe Swaps already.

Awesome post, Cliff! But regardless if they're real leads or not, you can't call it a 'solo ad' and get asked to pay for a solo ad price if they're software-generated optins.
There is a psychology behind the visitor actually opting in to a squeeze page before receiving any emails from you that affects followup sales in a big way. It's a micro-commitment thing.
Most of us buy solos because we expect to get paid UPFRONT while we're building our lists which is why we drive our traffic to a sales funnel instead of a blog post. Bottom line is, I want to get ROI now, not 2 weeks from now. In the case of software-generated optins though, those subs don't get see any one time offer page so it's impossible for any buyer to get his ad spend back (or even a portion of it) on the first day.
Software-generated optins of real email addresses should only cost 5-10 cents per email. This is just my .02.
Anyway, the most frustrating thing though is when these shady sellers feed bot generated email addresses in to your optin form. Email addresses that doesn't have any real person behind them. You feel awesome because you had fantastic optin rate, but you check your stats and see that not even one person out of a few hundred optins opened your first followup email.
It's hard to catch this kind of stuff because if you try to validate some of the addresses you got, you can see that they are real accounts or valid addresses, just that they're not accounts of real people.
I actually had a guy before contacted me on Skype asking if I wanted to buy 5k yahoo/hotmail email accounts. I just thought to myself.. this is probably where they're getting the email addresses that they feed our forms.
