WHY NOT TO BUY TRAFFIC BUT BUY SEO SERVICES

by Adetunji Olatunji seo consultant

Hello everyone, I will like to make a bit of talk here on what I believe is not healthy when it comes to getting the right traffic to one's site.
Have been on the fallacy of getting or buying traffic as the best way of get sales done online, but my experience and further knowledge on the subject matter have brought me to the very conclusion that web traffic from most web traffic industry is very zero conversion, if you’re the type seeking to get a quick sale via products you either sell or affiliate for.
The obvious reason to this stack was my experience with a well known web traffic company, with whom I actually spent as much as 500USD for the sake of getting signups for a very well documented e-product (that actually came with two audio versions in Spanish and English with so much incentives it be better I gave the product for free.
But to my surprise I didn't get a single yank at my offer, I pulled downed the site with the thought of the worst being caused by poor capture page and got a much better one and if this didn't convert at least a 1% from the 500USD Traffic would be enough for me.
Now the word targeted traffic is a very miss-leading sales pitch used by this traffic industry; what they meant by Targeted traffic simply means you will get traffic from a particular region; in fact I can tell you that I get more targeted traffic to my site than I did with the so called traffic company within 3 months by implementing white hat seo services.

Search engine optimization and pay-per-click is still by far the best way to get targeted traffic to your site and the cheapest way is via finding similar niche blogs, forums, article directories, and business directories to place your site on.
Back to my subject, buying web traffic to me is lame and you will never get any tangible results, because most cases they sell the same traffic over and over again to their numerous clients, just the same with email marketing when people went into the habit of selling safe list, email leads by regions and so on (now we have sms leads).
My warning is this you can never get anything refined or filtered from all this and it's a much wasteful effort and money if you depend on such quickie, but to tell you the truth it is best to work your stuff yourself, far much better.
Don't buy silly offers they don't last, and buying web traffic doesn't help your website, especially if your performing seo and want to rank.
Google check the time a visitor spends on your site and use that to credit your site worthiness.
Don't buy leads better you build your email list and filter them, stop sending new emails with different offers, and nowadays people don't even respect privacy for emails.
I subscribed for a list on the web for a particular niche and I tell you since 2005 have removed myself from this list only to find out that every time i remove myself he/she have me on other subscription list which I didn't subscribe too or they sold my email to some of their joint venture partners.
It is really annoying and if I could get their number I will give them a talk of their life...bombarding me with so many emails weekly!
Impression traffic is another strategy adopted by web traffic industry, they get domain names with high traffic and start to redirect the url to come to your site, or place different IP mask to your site and make you think you will do well?
I tell you categorically spending one tenth of this worthless traffic is even worse than just printing a flyer and getting a blind man to distribute it for you.
Impression doesn't work! with web traffic industries! better stay with your Facebook ads or Google ads, at least they have got tables that reveals how your traffic is being cultivated unlike other traffic site that give you zero data...most annoying they tell you Google-analytic doesn't pick up all the traffic they send top your site.
Why the speculation that you submit a pop up window site they must charge you more? or your site have got video? Hmmm it seems they really are all about the hits and just not cutting in some slack for your site to converge with its traffic visitors.
It is known that a site with video converts more, because it gets the visitor to spend more time on the site, which is what traffic companies don't like.
My best strategy so far as been the one am holding on to, which simply the basics of perform seo optimization, the benefits are just countless, to the point you have got a good search engine optimization working for your site you will be able to learn a lot from traffic, your target traffic, time visitors spend on your site, landing pages, etc so much to read from the free useful data from Google-analytic.
It has been to this success that I have self experienced I did like to share with others, not to think about buying traffic, or links, or other form of buying it the easy way.
Do it legibly and it will last you much longer than if you did it the other way round, and I can always bet you some services are just under crap for a sales pitch.
