Please can anyone recommend any GOOD 'TRAFFIC BUYING COMPANIES ?
-
Hi Guys
I really need some help here
I am looking for some good traffic buying companies where we can buy traffic from that can will help us to generate leads from our own website.
We want to 'buy traffic' that is targeted and generate leads from our website.
We are running Google ad words but it is now becoming more and more expensive to run!
Please can anyone recommend any good companies ?
Thanks

I have a client challenging me with this issue right now. Despite me working with the client doing things in an ethical way, they are keen to engage a business who offers this service of being able to offer 'PAID TRAFFIC.
For around $70 dollars they will send according to them TARGETED | QUALITY TRAFFIC. The client decided to go ahead and sign up and within 24 hours the site went from having had around 200 sessions a day to over 2000 in just 24 hours. Analytics saw the REFERRAL channel become the leader in bringing traffic and started listing lots of IP ADDRESSES.
The company also say there is no spam in the traffic they send to your site. They also say these 'site visitors' are 100% genuine and not bots etc.
I am personally a bit sceptical about how this will affect the site building its relationship with Google over time. So, is there evidence that some companies are getting better at delivering this type of service and the technology makes it much more ethical and worth buying into?
Of course - what happens when you switch the service off?

Hi there
I want to change your question a bit, so I will answer this question:
Can anyone recommend any good traffic opportunities?
The reason being - as everyone stated, don't utilize "traffic buying" companies - there are no "good" ones, usually resulting in spam traffic and links that will get you penalized by Google. Simply put, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
That said, there opportunities to get your content and your website in front of the right people and audience members. A couple of things I would suggest would be to check your local SEO presence and audit it. You can utilize services like Moz Local and Whitespark to help with your citations building and categorization - making sure you are appearing for the right searches in your area.
I would also look at content discovery platforms like Outbrain, Taboola, or others. These platforms, while not super beneficial from a SEO standpoint, can get your content in front of the right audiences based on their interests and viewing history, and can potentially help with brand building and awareness.
Make sure you are utilizing your social presence as well - engaging your audience as much as you can and creating a human element to your website and brand. Learn as much as you can about your audience; be where they are and create the content that they want to engage with, the way they engage with it.
Lastly, I would check out the Whiteboard Friday called Wait, Paid Media Investments Can Yield SEO Value?! - there are some great tips and ideas in that as well.
If you are going to spend money for "traffic buying" services - make sure that you take that budget and invest in honest brand building. All of the sources above can help your website and brand grow in an organic and natural way that won't trip spam signals. Stay relevant, stay fresh, and stay honest. That's the best investment you can make.
Hope this all helps! Good luck!

Yes I have now contacted a few affiliate companies so that should help...
-
I cannot really see a place in the market for a real one unless it is tied to an affiliate program on your end. Have you thought about setting up an affiliate program?

Hi lesley

You do realize that bought traffic 99% of the time is bot traffic by farms in SE Asia that never actually look at your site, correct?

Hi ikkie
thanks for the response
i am not sure if cash back sites would really work for us as we are not a product ecommerce site, we operate in the financial services markets
thanks

hey
i don't think thats a good idea to buy traffic from any one for any sort of e-commerce business or site. However, i would strongly recommend you to use cash back or rewards companies to get leads as these companies works very well in this manner. Moreover it will be good for your SEO point view.
You can also buy leads from companies those sell leads buying a traffic may not a good idea.

Any PPC Companies out there who can work with small accounts
I have a story , 18 months ago we had our own PPC adwords account, we had been running at £3.20 CPA for quite some time and we were very happy. Sometimes CPA would go up , sometimes down, but not my very much. One unfortunate day google rang, and told us , that our CPA should ne £2.50 and that we needed expert advice that they couldn't actually give us, we needed an expert. To cut a long story short and after 5 very expert companies have messed with our account, we had varying results. One company left us with 2 leads per day at £10 a lead !!!! , one did better than that and setup a £3k adwords account using their expert advice, blew it all and said "times are tough" sorry !!! The last company was actually the best, great guy , but I think we are two small for him, we have varying results, one day we get 30 leads, the next we get 10 , one day its £3.50 CPA , next its £7.00 . But on the whole very happy with his initial work We just want a company that doesn't Lie to us , tells us straight , and can use their expertise to get us a CPA of £3.50 and help us get upto 50 leads a day, if not more. Thanks Hope that makes sense Nick

Does the word next to domain gives more relevancy to the page of it's URL?
Whether putting a (category or brand) word next to domain is better than on the end of an URL? (i.e. domain.com/sony/tvs or domain.com/tv/sony) Which one would get higher result on SERP "tv" or "sony" in both cases? Or maybe they both serves the same?

When is it good to use target="_blank"
Hi! Just wondering about user experience and when to use target="_blank" in links on the website. Let's take homepage, for example. Is it better to have social media icons (for Facebook page or Twitter or Google+ page) open in a new window on homepage? When is it appropriate to use target="_blank" and when using it is too much for a user to handle? Am I right to say that target="_blank" should be used when you don't want that link to get on the way of what visitor is doing? What's best for conversion? If you have some resources on the subject - feel free to share them. Thanks! I appreciate all responses!

Recommendations for Books on Analytics, Ecommerce and Data Manipulation?
Having just moved into a position where an Ecommerce site is now a big part of my responsibilities I'm looking to get up to speed on the topic (been a while since I worked on a shop). Site is Magento based. I'd also like any recommended books on broader analytics and using/reporting data. Obviously finding books on these subjects isn't difficult, I'd just like mozers thoughts on any that are particularly good and more important still relevant ie fairly recently published. Quite broad topics these I know but open to any or all suggestions - however not too worried about covering wider SEO, more 'technical' guide style is what I'm interested in. Couldn't really find any threads on books in general so should be an interesting topic (I hope!) Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

How can I Monetize My Site with The Type of Traffic it Receives?
I was just in here yesterday asking a question, so I appreciate everyone's patience with this newbie! This is a totally different site that I have a question about so here goes: I have a site that has started to receive large amounts of traffic from an image search. My intention was to use Amazon for products based on my website theme. I haven't been getting traffic from my intended keywords. Now I rank #2 for an image search, loads of traffic! GREAT! But what next? These ppl. aren't looking to buy stuff, they just want the image. Fine, it is a public domain image. I thought of adding some more informational articles and using adsense to bring in some cash. Any opinions on the best way to go with this site? I only have 3 articles up so it could go in any direction from here. Thanks!!!

Re-designed website... how to increase organic traffic?
We re-developed our website (adboards(dot)com) around 6 months ago. This has in turn led to a downturn in sales/visits. We have managed to get visits/sales increasing steadily but not to the level of the previous site. Even though we believe the new site is (seems) much more friendly both for SEO and potential customers. We currently run a PPC campaign which seems to bring in steady sales, the problem seems to be our organic traffic and getting our keywords ranked higher. We have tried various methods for increasing our organic traffic including:- Keyword Analysis for our landing pages Backlinking: From various directories and industry related sites Googlebase submission Blog relating to industry news & products Any advise on which area we should be focusing on or any obvious errors you can see on the site would be greatly appreciated.
