    I was trying to get my site ranking higher in Google and there is a guy provides me SEO service website and I paid for $2 for it, after that, they did not contact me at all. I am curious how much they earn each day by doing this trick and provide no service when getting tiny amount of money from other people. If you are newbie like me, be careful these spammers, thanks

    Anyway, when people said SEO service, is it about writing articles about a topic?

    $2 doesn't seem too much for some people, but in some areas of the world $2 is a day's pay.

    SEO services used to be backlinks in the past, now it's MOSTLY about content and a bit about backlinks, so yes it's about writing articles.

    It depends on your website. If it's season based or an upcoming hype or something then you might. Otherwise I shouldn't spend to many money on traffic since you have to find ways to get default traffic on a daily base. But I prefer people don't but that's just my opinion.

    Short answer — no.
    Long answer: Having traffic that you bought is pretty much useless. It all just goes away once you stop buying it, and then what are you left with? Nothing.

    A definite no from my side. Do your good efforts. Getting traffic on a website is very easy. You just need to plan. Ofcourse things take time but you can do it on your own.

    No you shouldn't apart from that it could be a spammy traffic you'll get. It's just the thing that you don't have control over this and look you've came here asking for advice, since you were brave enough to do it, why not reading more of this board and do it yourself? it's not so hard to do :)
    and you'll have full control over the traffic you generate

    If it is cheap it is fake traffic from bots. You have no use for this (If your goal is not to mislead somebody into thinking your site more valuable than it actually is)

    If you want traffic that converts you will have to find a real source (adsense, buying banners, etc.)

    Hope this helps,
    Alex

    There is no good reason to buy fake traffic as it won't benefit you any good anyways. Big traffic is usually sniffed out by the big dogs so no point really. Organic traffic is the best to stick with.

    SEO is a big thing! You should not rely on any person without notice his/her experience in the field? and $2 for SEO lol! it is one kind of joke! SEO is not only about writing article but also, onpage settings, offsite link building, competition, keywords density, Google updates and many many things more!!

    Caveat Emptor - There are many spammers in the market, so rely on the best only!

    Well, the answer really is no because buying traffic it is not going to help you out with any rather than I'll say it is a stunt that can lighten up your pocket.

    We need to know that SEO can be different. It can be tactical and strategic SEO. Tactical SEO is a garbage without strategy. And usually this difference makes the price.

    If you can find a reliable provider than you should do it. There are people working on providing quality traffic for years so I am pretty sure that they can help you. However, focus on getting genuine traffic first.

    Worthless traffic. Almost zero percent chance it will be traffic relevant to your niche.

    It's not worth buying traffic as it will just go after you stop buying it. I wouldn't even buy traffic when you first start a site as it's just a waste of money.

    the best SEO is the work that YOU do on your own site. Avoid paying so called professionals, most (but not all) don't deliver what they promise and those that do charge thousands and so are out of the reach of most website owners.

    It totally depends upon you. Well, I had been promoting my websites for so long already. You truly need some serious planning if you have to do it by yourself. Moreover, you must do thorough research on how to drive traffic to your website. There are lots of articles and forums online that would help you pull this out. Prior to purchasing traffic, just remember that reliable traffic comes from reliable SEO services.

    Think wisely :)
