Question about social media traffic and SEO

by chi124
5 replies
Hi all,

I was wondering about these buying traffic sites like fivver.com and I know it is fake traffic but would that help boost SEO.

Here is my thought,

When this traffic comes in to your site google sees it as relevant, as many visitors are coming in from different areas.

Wouldn't that boost SEO rankings significantly?

Let me know your thoughts and insights and what piece of this puzzle I am missing.

Cheers

    Google can penalize your site for that. It sees clear unnatural behavior of bots that come from untrusted sources. In order to get good SEO, you have to obtain high quality backlinks from authority sites, become popular in social media, increase your site engagement, decrease your site bounce rate, etc. SEO is a long term strategy, it's profitable in the long run, don't limit yourself with it, go for something faster to do business.

    Why?

    You want a bunch of fake traffic, even if it's cheap, in case it might raise your Search Engine Optimization....

    That's not a good tactic at all, even if it did work it's not going to bring you any success. Quit wasting time on Fiverr and trying to trick them system.

    Build a good product. Create Articles & Videos. Sell awesome product.... That's it!

    No having fivver on your website, I will not recommend that... It is total waste and even you can penalize your website. Google does not like these kind of traffic from unknown source, All the traffic comes from Fiverr is fake and they are not interested to your product either. No one will buy it..

    So its better to have organic SEO, It takes time (year approx) to see initial results but after that you will get in constant basis.

    Nopes. Google is smart. It doesn't like traffic coming from fake sources. Instead of getting high SEO, your website may get penalized. Its best to stay clear of anything that borders to shady practices.

    Get traffic organically. A real organic visitor is ten times better than a hundred bought ones.

    I agree with all and I would also recommend you to build natural traffic rather than fake traffic. There is no use of fake traffic for your website and thus it will not boost SEO ranking for your website. Try to do Off page activities, social media marketing, content marketing and others in order to drive natural traffic towards your website.
