Is PTC Traffic worth in terms of SEO?

    Hello,

    I could see two three threads in our buy.sell.trade section regarding PTC Traffic. I know that very good hit counts alone bring better SERPs for our websites. But that traffic needs to be from real/unique users I think. But in this case if we buy - say 10000 hits for a month - will it really help in anyways? I doubt because the bounce rate will be very low.

    Share some good information.
    Thanks.

    I thought so. Because most of the PTCs asking their members to stay on sites just for 15 seconds. So if your real users stay more time. PTC traffic will be harmful for bounce rate I think...

    The only thing that will help in the long run, for a sustainable value, is good old fashioned SEO. Personally, I dont believe in PTC, especially from an internet marketing point of view. The only good traffic is targeted traffic for me. PTC may boost your rankings temporarily, but it will definitely not be long term.

    There is no relation between PTC traffic and SEO. Both are different by itself.

    Let me be a bit more clear. If you are paying people to click on your site, or going through say, Adrowds for example, your traffic runs out the second that your money runs out.

    If you focus on SEO to get free targeted traffic from the search engines, this is much more effective, its free, and it is sustainable.

    I dont recall ever saying that there is a relation between the two, I am only stating the benefits of using SEO to generate traffic rather than an unsustainable PTC method.

    Friend always give some time to read the full discussion before you post. I was asking about the traffic coming from PTC sites and was asking whether these hits gonna help promoting our sites in any ways.

    You get the point? ;)
