Buying Traffic. Is it really safe?

I'm just new in blogging and want to have my blog to rank or atleast have value. One thing I saw is that we have people here who offers traffic. I subscribe one with DKPromotions. I just want to ask if anyone here also do the same thing without having problem with their adsense account?

I dont think that buying traffic for you website is safe because the people who are offering the paid traffic, they will provide you the
forced visitors to your website as would not have any interest in your
website and they are getting paid to visit you website.

This is what PTC sites are doing. Paying a few cent to visit a few websites
everyday. I would suggest you to concentrate on your website content and
share the website links on social media. If you would have high quality
content then you will get traffi from search engine automatically and
you will rank high in search index. If you will share your website links
on social media then you will have the relevant audiance to your
website.

So consider writing content for your site rather than wasting money on buying traffic.

Hi jaehyun21 thanks for your question today. It's a good question! And one that a lot of new bloggers and webmasters find themselves wondering and asking too. As for me, I used to ask that question myself. And what I've learned over the years is that, well, yes and no. It depends really. Adsense do have some pretty broad restrictions on what you're allowed to use and what you're not allowed to use when it comes to how you promote, advertise and market your site and which types of traffic you are allowed to use or not. But it's a bit of a grey area and there are many legitimate traffic providers out there that can provide you with real traffic that is from some ethical, legitimate service or network some how. And Google know this and do allow most of them that are legitimate and use real, ethical ways of generating and sending traffic to your site.

What you need to do is find an Adsense safe traffic provider. I've never found a traffic provider that says they are Adsense safe and them not be to be honest. Although I'm sure there may be some that are but I've never really come across them but I've always been a bit picky and choosy about where I've bought my traffic from myself. Like, I'll do some research into them first, read reviews about them and find out if they're worth a go or not you know?

And I'm not saying this because I am, but I'm a traffic provider myself and do only use those methods that are safe to use with Adsense having tested them on my own sites first or going with methods and providers that have also and have those good reviews about them. That is key really to finding a good traffic provider.

As for DKPromotions I don't think if I've ever purchased his services before. But the best thing to do would be to message him and ask him that and maybe look for reviews or ask any one you know that was his buyer/client and see if they're okay.

But at least that should clue you up a little on the matter.

Regards,

Mike.

I would do a lot of research - unless, of course, you're dealing with a major company like YouTube, Facebook, Google, or Bing. Anyway, besides this forum, does anyone know of places where traffic might providers might be reviewed? I think such a place is highly needed because people don't want to be scammed.

I think in safer side you should instead buy PPC traffic. The PPV and CPM traffic is not really worth it. You can see that such traffic is not good for your website or the app. As you can see that buying traffic requires a lot of patience to get it right. And with CPM it can be harder to manage as well. I think in case of the buying traffic you may have to see if the traffic goes to say affiliate link or your product cart, otherwise such traffic purchase is not really worth it.

Buying traffic is not safe at all because your visitor may be fake. Since the traffic coming into your site is fake or coming from unrelated sites, those users don’t care about your product. And because of this, your reputation may drop, and this will cause to your business!

PPC is also paid traffic. And it can be safe. You have to try it out to see if it works for you. I have seen people paying for it. And it does work for them. It depends on how you do it though. Like Google adwords or the facebook ads. That decides if it is safe or not to try out.

You needed to use right and reputed PPC ad campaigns for real targeted traffics for your niche. There are a lot of good PPC ad networks for traffics like Google AdWords, Bing Ads, and Facebook ad campaigns. You can start with any one of them but always remember that you need to work on your SEO and keywords for your niche before you share your content over the internet.

I bought traffic service from a person but to be honest it is not worth to get, low conversions and seem more bots came my site after used his service.
I would go with organic traffic although it is time consuming and maybe you need to spend a little money into it but it will be the best traffic source and safe for our sites.

I really don’t know if you can buy real traffic. It is obvious that no one can supply you a big number of traffic, say a hundred or even a thousand. The most you can get from those sellers of traffic are traffic caused by bots. And there are several discussions that I came across that said traffic from bots can affect your ranking in a negative way. That means fake traffic can hurt the SEO capability of your website so you should be discerning when it comes to buying traffic.

PPC Ads like say Google adwords and Facebook ads. Those are real traffic. And often they can be reliable too. Because those ads appear all around us. And there is a lot of things that can be learned from the buying traffic such as that. You also get better conversion too. So those are safe to work with if you know what you are doing. I have seen people making use of those ads and works for them.

In my opinion paid traffic is great if the people coming to your site are prospective customers who are interested in buying something you are selling. However if you are driving traffic to your site so those who visit can view ads, it might not be all that rewarding.

Why?

Most of the people who visit your site already have clicked on an ad. It's highly unlikely that they'll click on another ad if they don't find what they are looking for.
