|  Will Buying Traffic Hurt SERPs in Long Term?
Basically, will buying visitors harm my site? I'm thinking of the smaller type of package, eg, 5K visitors over a month for $20. Will the increased visitors provide a short term Alexa boost but, long term will Alexa and Google penalize you when the visitor numbers drop off? Anyone have any experience? |

No, but most of that website traffic is so crappy it is not even funny.

It depends on the quality... if you send un-targeted, crappy traffic, your bounce rate will go up, and G doesn't like that.

No. Adwords is traffic buying. right? High bounce rate = low rankings <- that's a myth |

For sure your site is hurt in the serps when your competitors purchase backlinks to their own sites.
