Will Traffic Bots Hurt your PR??

by Demerson
6 replies
I recently started using a traffic bot to boost my adsense page views and click ratio. Its "real traffic" coming from 90% the US and using all different operating systems and web browsers, even some mobile hits. But now my website has disappeared from google. I was on the 2nd page and after this im no where to be found.

Can this be the cause of that? Or is something else the reason?

    If you have to put real traffic in quotes, a la "real traffic", it's probably not real, and definitely not helpful.

    Stick to using your time and effort to attract real, organic traffic with quality content!

    I use quotes because i dont think its real whatsoever it just appears to be real. So you think this could have caused the issue?

    Don't use traffic bots. What good will they do for you except boost Alexa rankings? (which is insane)

    Manually drive traffic to your site the old fashioned way... dirt and mud. And vary your marketing strategies - instead of being stuck to 1.

    The traffic, whatever its source, is not the cause of your search ranking issues. There's no interaction between the AdSense, Analytics and Search teams or their software. They've said that. Google Search does not use traffic in their ranking algorithms (and they don't know how much traffic every site gets, or where you advertise, anyway).

    AdSense, on the other hand, will happily terminate your account if they suspect you're buying traffic.

    Okay thanks. As long as i know its something else hurting my rankings, maybe the amount of backlinks ive built in the past few days.
