How to Avoid Traffic Scams

April 22, 2008

I’m sure you’ve all seen these ads promising to get you a million visitors to your site for $29.99, or something along those lines. And I’m sure you guy’s get real tempted and think you can make a lot of money online with all that traffic. Well that’s NOT the case and I must protect my readers from the scam artist that have been taking advantage of uneducated webmasters.

So how can you avoid from falling victim? It’s quite simple don’t pay for it, don’t even bother going to their site because you won’t get quality service. They won’t send you any where near the customers you paid for and most of these sites use bots to visit your site over and over till you get all your visits. You can’t make money online with fake traffic and on top of that most of these sites give you their own stats software for you to keep track of the visitors they’re bringing you but guess what, they want you to depend on their stats software and not your own. Big red flag right there.

I’ve used ALL of the programs that come out on the first 2 pages of result’s in Google, Yahoo, And Msn because I’ve been hearing about them a lot lately so I thought I would try a couple and write some reviews on them but I found that none work. No traffic ever converts to a sale, and the reason for this is your site is shown as a pop up or pop-under and almost never shown in a full screen or because they have bots bringing you fake traffic. A lot of these sites are the same scam artist who make a different website with a different layout and sale’s page but offer the same thing.

You can find this out by looking up a websites Whois on Whois.net and you will see multiple sites have the same owner or company. This is another bad sign you want to stay away from. I will be looking into this some more to see what else I can find but I strongly advise all my readers not to throw their money away. This will not make you money online.
