Beware of Cheap Traffic

[jyy]

"If it's too good to be true, it probably is.". Who has heard that before? Anyway, the only good types of traffic are from the main companies like Facebook, Google etc. - and even with those, there is massive danger if you don't know what you're doing!

Anyway, the lure of cheap traffic is simply the fact that website owners sometimes cannot afford the prices of major companies and/or they are just looking for something "way easier".

O.K., why might this traffic be trash? Well, some could very well be bots, not even human. In another case, the source of the traffic is very "forced"(as in a pop-under). In other cases, as I suspect, the "forced stuff" could be fixed to where it seems like people really went there when maybe they were just trying to get away from the ad ASAP.

 

[Joshua Farrell]

After being on the internet for as long as I have, it is easy to identify the easy crap traffic sites, over the potential gray area that might fall into either good or cheap, based on traffic sources.

Cheap (crappy) traffic is never the best way to get legit signups for things. I have rarely seen cheap traffic sources turn out to be good sources.

 

[Lämmchen]

Do you know if being on these bad traffic sites (such as lists) is bad for your SEO? I haven't signed up on any of the sites and probably won't because I'm too busy finding other ways to get my sites out there. I think I do better trying to sign up on Facebook groups and then slowly building relationships and dropping hints at my site or even projects with links.

 

[jyy]

Cheap pop-under traffic etc.. are solely for suckers. It should be illegal. Well, there is some debate in that - because people have brains and are adults. Nonetheless, though, this surely preys on the weak, but I suppose you have to fall before you learn.

Yeah, pop unders are just as annoying as redirect ads. Sure, it gets you money quickly, but it isn't sustainable with long term users.

Possibly it could win over industries with extremely hungry members. It would be like marketing to drug addicts. I will that there. O.K., say there was some offer to give away 100 dollar bills - and it was believable.

 

[Claraviolet]

There are many websites which offer traffic for startup forums and blogs.

I usually wouldn't recommend such traffic. If your content is good then eventually, you will get genuine traffic without too much trouble. Most of the time this cheap traffic is generated by bots and by people who get paid to visit those forums and blogs. I am sure they wouldn't be looking for a website to spend their quality time. So, it's better to stick to usual ad programs like Google Adwords etc.,

 

[Mawome]

Traffic coming via banner ads in mobile apps are notorious for low quality clicks. Sometimes banner ads get in the way (intentionally or non-intentionally) of people’s activity on an app and they accidently click on an ad. It looks great in your reports, but dig a little further into the data and you’ll see that the traffic quality is very poor indeed.

Cheap (crappy) traffic is never the best way to get legit signups for things. I have rarely seen cheap traffic sources turn out to be good sources.

Obviously, distinguishing between a fake and real one is quite difficult though. But anybody into marketing and traffic should be able to do it. I can vouch that cos I too can tell which is fake or not.

 

[Nova]

PTC traffic, share4share and like4like type of the exchanges are always bad. Also those banner ads exchange type of the traffic is useless too. Only traffic that matters is the traffic where customer buys something from you. Just casual random user has no way to call a quality traffic.

 

[GoldenLady]

I hate such sites. I won't visitba second time.

Some of the owners have really good content, but when you're forced to redirect to another page instead of getting what you came for, it can turn one off.

I also know of a site that places one (1) sentence only on a page, with lots of ads, and forces you to go to the next ad-filled page to read the rest of the story. Horrible as hell.

Yeah, there might be cheap traffic generation in some site, but if you're a guru when it comes to analysing traffic counts and how to discover a site that generates lots of traffic. Then you shouldn't be surprise to see this kind of weak and cheap traffic counts. You can view sites with lots traffic through, Alexa site ranking, to determine the volume of traffic generation of sites. This is only applicable to U.S website.

 

[Sotherefore]

So true...i must train myself to accept a fact like this.... most of them are hacking bot to steal information on database of some legit online companies

 

[Brain]

Ofcourse, the best way of getting organic traffic is from social media which can be from facebook,twitter, instagram, whatapp etc. Bought traffic even from freelancing sites alot of times are bots which might never be useful.

 

[Ehizzy1]

I dont think i would ever advice anyone to try fake cheap traffic because i know that it can affect the rating of your site when it comes to seo ranking and the person might be ban by adsnetwork

 

[Nurudeen]

Bot or fake traffic can cause a whole lots of damage to ones website or blog. The best form of traffic a webmaster should depend on is SEO traffic and paid traffic. With these you are good to go to monitize your blog

 

[WhiteHouse]

No, ITS VERY BAD IDEA

Try not to burn through your time and cash on paid traffics, impermanent traffic is pointless. work for manageable traffic

FREE - It's a decent objective, it's the technique of savvy individuals. There is no compelling reason to go through your hard cash to create traffic. In the event that somebody vows to help you direct people to your site, they are deceiving you. might be transitory valuable yet it isn't maintainable.

Use Facebook as Social Media to Advertise Your Website - Create Pages - for Free

Use Pinterest to get more traffic to your site (more pins, more supporter, more traffic) - Free Lifetime

[Ibrahim]

I see nothing bad with cheap traffic because it really help we that couldn't afford the expensive traffic because all hands are not the same and moreover cheap traffic helps and while some times it's really better than the expensive traffic

 

[Goodday]

Cheap traffic is never a good source of traffic for any online site with long term vision of serving people a particular service. Traffic from these cheap place affects the site's ratings and might cause much harm to the site when user ratings keeps becoming bad.

 

[WhiteHouse]

Yeah that's right, it's of no good instead of that you can Be partaking in Forums, you are presenting your url to any individual who is perusing your post. For instance, on the off chance that you give website architecture administration, you should be more dynamic in the website composition part of the gathering since you realize that the individuals who are perusing your post are individuals who are keen on website composition. The Clicks from these individuals are typically more important than clicks from some other everyone in the world. I would suggest utilizing just one Link in your mark to dodge disarray. A few people use alot of connections in their mark for SEO purposes and that really crushes the entire thought of getting quality traffic.

 

[Richard92]

Buying products form traffic sellers can be dangerous sometimes, because you do not get to check the product properly as you are in a moving vehicle. It not advisable for anyone to buy cheap products from traffic sellers especially electronics or digital gargets, most of them sell fake products and you do not get what you pay for .

 

[Alexandoy]

When it comes to traffic my take is a self-supporting activity to gain more traffic for your website. Social media is one good platform to promote your website particularly the new contents. You can also create a Facebook Page for the purpose of your website promotion that followers of your Page can get updated with the new contents of your website. For the SEO activity, just upload frequently original contents and tag the new web page with keywords directly related to the content that you are uploading. That will do instead of buying cheap traffic.

 

[Ojonuyo]

You are absolutely correct. Fake traffic are the fastest way to make your website dormant.

Fake traffic are there as a result of persons who are just interesting in their pay than the participating in your website.

 

[kayode10]

Cheap traffic does not bring quality traffic to your website. It is just a waste of money to buy cheap traffic to your website. Examples of such cheap traffic is bot traffic. This can cause more harm to your website than good. It can attracts ban for your website if it runs on AdSense program and other Paids ads networks. You will reap a good rewards if you work on driving quality traffic to your website in the long haul.

 

[Nomad]

If yoi are a serious marketer, you should never consider buying traffic. Paid traffic, whether it is cheap or expensive, never works if your primary aim is to drive sales or generate revenue. Consider advertising through facebook or adwords, or any aocial media or advertising network of your choice.

 

[Ralphjoe]

Free traffic's has alot of disadvantage but free traffic is actually the best compared to paid traffic, paid traffic actually does not stay in a website, they mostly leave that website when they visit, this is because they were paid for it but free traffic were attracted to the website for a reason and they mostly stays in the website.

 

[adazeez1995]

My advice for you is, don't buy any traffic because they are all fake(no matter what the person selling it tells you). Also, google can spot that millions of miles away. It would end up getting you ban for life. You would be lucky if they don't sue you.

 

[Mika]

New website owners and bloggers are so desperate to drive traffic on their site that when they see something like 10K visits on your site for $1, they hurriedly purchase the traffic. Well you can get traffic to your site even when you use the services like these but you must know one thing, these people are using software to send fake traffic to your site. This traffic does not work in terms of revenue generation and most cases you can be banned by your advertisers.

 

[Quert]

The bad thing about it is that memberships and contributions can be a source of regular revenue, but they can also be short-term or even once-off products, and there are even some individuals who can be your supervisors, but they can also expect special revenue.

 

[Setho]

What you have said is the absolute true. If the traffic source looks just too good to be true then it probably is. This free traffics can be seen as spam traffics and can last just for the meantime before your website goes back to its normal form and as such you should always go for organic traffic.

 

[HayKay]

The thing about fake traffic is that a lot of these search engines have developed means to be able to spot out fake and one way traffic or those that are constantly from a particular IP so anyone that purchases fake traffic is only shooting himself in the leg.

 

[greenie]

[MikeHo]

Even having cheap traffic, it doesn't helps to make money as they are just bots or user who visit your website from automate web surfing so they have no interest in your website. It is only good if you want to sell and shows as decent traffic numbers.

Most of the was crap traffic are easy to noticed nowadays , because they will give you an eye catching and a mouth watering offer that even you thinking about it will have to think twice about the authenticity .

If you ask me, then I will tell you that it does not matter if the traffic is cheap or expensive. Buying traffic is never a really great idea at all. I am not in favour of using traffic exchange either.

It does not really make sense when having a website. The most important thing is for us to meet up to the demands of people as this will help increase traffic which can bring in people naturally to our website without us having to buy it.

Unfortunately, the issue is that it is not that easy to get traffic except by working hard. This is where many website owners usually refrain to work hard. They end up buying traffic and they get banned by the advertising network.

 

[Castelione]

Pay per click websites offer cheap traffic but unproductive ones. They provide low to zero results compared to traffic that was gained organically. That's what I've learned so far.

 

[Sincerem]

It is never a great idea to me as I also see it in the point of view of other people. Normally we should be working in every possible means legitimately to have a natural and free flow of traffic to your blog or forums.

 

[Honny143]

Content is important on any website. If we present our content in an attractive way, then automatically users visit our site. This is genuine traffic. If someone sends traffic in the wrong way, like bots or paid users, I don't think this traffic is useful for any site.

 

[Smiles20]

Cheap traffic can actually be very intoxicating but then you have to be very careful with how you are using it because there is going to be a time in which it is going to drain out.

Many people also use Traffic exchange in order to gain traffic. They tend to exchange traffic and it is done in a really easy manner: you visit someone's else's site and in return they will also visit your site. However, I am not in favour of this kind of traffic as well if you ask me.

 

[HK World]

A lot of the lowest-costs traffic generators out there use software to throw hits at your site, which is completely valueless to you. Others use clickfarms in third world countries, which may be real people, but cause other issues. Some use broad, untargeted ads that pull in a lot of traffic, but that traffic isn’t all that interested. It will at least convert, at a low rate, but not much more.

 

[Setho]

A lot of people need to understand that there are some kind of traffic that might be good for your website right now for awareness but then in the distance time it is going to be completely dangerous to you.

So many of these strategy are what I personally did not understand. That means you will be visiting up to thousands of website just to get thousands of people into your own personal platform too. This is not easy

 

[Good-Person]

Yes, many people usually do that. You have to visit a huge amount of sites in order to get the traffic back to your website. It is a good way to generate impressions.

As long as it wouldn't be stressful because I was just imagining a situation that you have to visits thousands of website. I don't really know how they organise it for people to generate income from such arrangement sha

I guess that visiting so many websites in a day could be really stressing and cause exhaustion. I think that people could visit such amount of sites in different hours of the day in order to avoid getting overburdened.

Probably , I believe there is some sort of organisation that governs them and help them carry out these activities without getting stress. Some people wouldn't mind to visit 1000 website every day if they are also earning much from their own platform.

Visiting such amount of websites also depends a lot on the speed of your internet connection as well. If you have a high-speed internet connection, then I guess that it will be much easier for you to visit all of these sites.

Internet connection may not really be a point of consideration because at least it will be faster, what I will put into consideration is the time I have to spend on each platforms.

What I was trying to say is that , as long as you have a good networking company, you may never experience a low internet connection. This only happens to me when the weather is bad and this is always on rare cases. Have you ever experienced a low internet connection before ?

I have installed a high-quality internet service with a good router. This is why I rarely experience low-quality service or slow connection. This is much better than slow connection, as slow connection consumes your time.

[Lynaia]

I think it's your fault and nobody else if you fall under fake traffic. I'm sure your phone can't just start pressing itself if you didn't command that. Many people don't just want to work and they only want fast money and they end up being scam

In order to get a high-speed internet, you must pay money and set up the latest kind of internet connection. However, this is something many people rarely afford.

[Treborika]

A good traffic is that one which comes from a genuine source. I can say Facebook, Instagram and Twitter among others can generate a good traffic to add leads to your campaign. Other traffic from other sources is not reliable.

 

[Joseph555]

you will get genuine traffic without too much trouble. Most of the time this cheap traffic is generated by bots and by people who get paid to visit those forums and blogs.
