Tell me where I'm wrong about fiverr

You're right. Nobody should buy traffic from Fiverr and send it to an Adsense site. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Of course you are right Paul about buying Fiverr traffic there is no doubt about that at all. By buying traffic to your site with Adsense on it and when those people click on the ads as far as I am concerned that you are effectively stealing from the advertisers who have paid to be on your site.

I think the same could be said for other poor quality PPC traffic bought at volume for the same purpose. I've never understood how comes the vendor's always claim it's adsense safe, why is it safe, in my eyes it isn't for the reasons you have explained in the OP.

As for Fiverr backlinks which you mentioned, well that's just like playing Roulette only with Roulette you've actually got a chance of winning, with Fiverr links you will almost certainly get a well deserved Google penalty sooner or later.

Edit: In answer to where you are wrong about Fiverr? You are not wrong at all in my eyes. The only point I would add is like I said I wouldn't limit your points to Fiverr but also to other PPC platforms.

First let me state, I agree with you but this goes for anyone you allow to do SEO for you. Not just Fiverr, anyone other then yourself.

Given the track record I have seen in your posts, not sure if I am buying the good conversation part.. you seem to just look for people to berate.

Here is where things go wrong or perhaps you just run small sites, I don't know to be honest. If you run a large site your user base and visitors are going to create a crap load of links to your site. I have no control over that. Besides being cheaper.. not really any difference.

Never been a fan of buying traffic. If you cant do it the right way then forget it.

I think the majority of people who slap adsense on their site don't know or don't care that it is a joined program with adwords.

People are paying REAL DOLLARS to advertise on your site. Most adsense users just think, "Hey cool! I just paste in this code and random ads pop up and I get paid!"

If it were looked at from a different perspective, would these advertisers pay you directly to put an ad on your site?

It's most likely not for most sites out there, but because of the way Adsense is structured, crappy sites are allowed to put these ads on their sites and instantly have advertisers pay for their crappy traffic.

Now look at Fiverr and think about it the other way around. Let's say you made an awesome new website and put together a fresh Adwords campaign to promote that site.

You look at your traffic sources and find that someone is buying traffic from Fiverr that are getting click throughs to your ad and of course, conversion rates suck because nobody cares about you.

Would you not get irritated and, maybe even furious??

I was wondering how to create more traffic then the usual way but always felt that manipulated like this wont won't and could hurt

If you buy traffic from Fiverr and send it to a site with Adsense, you have no right to complain when Google bans your account.

Paul, don't start giving out sensible advise. Most people will just ignore you. :p

The ONLY thing I use fiverr is so some witch can cast a dark evil spell on someone I hate .

Personally the only traffic I would buy is banner or text links on same niche reputable forums or blogs. I wouldn't be looking for traffic sources on fiverr.
