    Im paying an SEO specialist to work on my site. Increase uniques from 50 to 1200 within a month. Should i tell adsense. or will they realise that all this traffic is natural even with the sudden increase?

    If your wondering how, im paying a lot of money for it. And have been told by my specialist, expect the 1200 uniques in 4 weeks.

    So i am going to go from $1 a day to $20 a day by the end of the month.

    Any advice?

    Uhhh..
    If he's guaranteeing this sudden increase, my guess is that he's doing some sort of spamming or blackhat stuff.. Not exactly what Google considers "natural"..

    BTW, did you check how good this SEO is? How does HIS website rank for keywords?

    Since you talk about adsense earnings of 1 to 20$, you are obviously not paying the service for SEOing a company website or commercial website.

    I mean, who hires SEOs? Someone who has an established website and wants to leverage SE traffic to his already established website, or a major company who wants targetted or qualified traffic.

    If you have a site that just earns 1 dollars, you should not just ask your SEO to increase traffic from 50 to 1200.

    If the 1200 traffic is something that you don't deserve organically, google might penalise you.

    WHat you should be asking your SEO should be more specific, like relevant non-spammy link building, some good optimized articles, and restructure the website for SEO with correct titles, headers, sitemaps etc etc...

    my seo, has done heaps of sites before. I looked at his portfolio and it was quite impressive. He has his own seo site. Doing both on page and off page optimization. All natural. I have told him i will launch a lawsuit if its not natural. As i have a contract written. So my god its gonna be natural.

    But adsense should pick up the sudden increase as natural right?

    ask the seo specialist if the 1200 uniques are sustainable... i doubt it. he could very well be buying unrelated/untargetted traffic to your site and once the campaign is over, traffic will drop back down to 50.

    I will ask him. But that would be moronic, considering i have another 8 sites, which he will eventually do if i see some good results.

    increasing uniques from 50 to 1200 in a month and making is sustainable is quite difficult to believe... possible but in most cases, improbable. ;)

    Natural traffic from search engines is good.
    Googole is against automated traffic programs. - Beware.

    I love that lawsuit thing :). LOL at that.

    If the links are natural, adsense shouldn't mind. And it doesn't matter if the links are natural to a court of LAW, what matters if they are natural to Google. And if they are natural/organic to google, then you have nothing to worry.
    BTW. your SEO sounds like an Indian Name. No Lawsuits in India boss... It takes ages even to covicted a broad daylight murder

    i'd be really cautious if i were you... $350 is actually peanuts... i'm not sure how he can reasonably get by with $350 to properly bring traffic up to 1200 uniques per month - sustainable...

    Lol people laugh at it. But i have legal consultants in half of the developing world countries. I have been scammed $800 before, the guy was in New Delhi, he got his summon. And i think he may have got a massive fine if not 2 months in the can.

    Can you guys review the resume given to me, of his previous sites and tell me if its natural traffic?

    He has his own SEO site, so im hoping its the real thing. But with the Indian dollar worth 44 times less of the US dollar, i spose it is good money over there.

    Perhaps the site just needs a bit of tweaking to improve quite a bit. Like if wikipedia had all their titles and meta descriptions exactly the same, then decided to change that to a unique title for every page; they'd get an extra gazillion hits in an hour from google. 1200 hits is a bit strange though since if its natural how the hell do you know the exact number of hits?

    No that is my goal. I want 1200 hits within a month for SEO.

    Don't get me wrong i think this guy can do it. And he is probably a really nice, credible guy, with lots of integrity who will do a fantastic job. I just wanted you guys to go over his sites, he gave me on his resumey, that i posteed above, and tell me if their traffic is natural.
