Okay, I want to educate some people on this forum about how to tell if the traffic you’ve purchased is “real” traffic, or bogus. Being a web developer, I think I can provide a little insight. By improving this knowledge then your making money opportunity is wide open to infinity. First rule : “Traffic Will Bring Money”.
1) First, don’t assume that just because you have received “hits” from a lot of different IP addresses that the traffic is real. Using a proxy service I can easily write a script to grab your page using a large number of IP addresses. So can the people here who are selling “real” traffic.
2) Create a special landing page for each vendor you purchase from. All you have to do is copy/paste your home page into a different file and upload it to your host. So instead of sending the traffic to mydomain.com, send it to mydomain.com/landingpage.html
3) Put a free third-party JavaScript-based tracker on the landing page. Most bots cannot execute JavaScript, and will not register as visitors in the tracking stats.
This is not foolproof, as I can also easily automate a real web-browser on my desktop to “browse” to your site through a proxy. That will execute the JavaScript and trigger the tracking code. But it’s been my experience that most garbage-traffic vendors aren’t using this kind of “visitor”-generation, as it’s much more difficult to implement (and slower).
I hope that helps some of you guys to post informative reviews of the traffic you purchase here.
