    There are many companies offering unique real human traffic for site promotion. Is buying traffic effective to increase sale?

    I f you want to buy Traffic to increase sale then I will not recommend it. It may increase your Alexa Rank/G Page rank.

    Well, as you can see the site is just about offering traffic. i.e, people just blindly come to your website and leave just to give you hits. So even I don't recommend it.

    To get something sold, you have to build niche traffic. May be posting in a niche facebook page or twitter hashtag might get something going.

    If you earning from online ads then it will benefit you . if you providing customer services or shopping services so it will harm you .

    It depends what your sites intentions are and how to capitalize on 'random' traffic. I buy traffic all the time and have great success with the visitors I receive even if its out of country, proxy traffic, etc.

    If you are not focusing on a specific audience or people for your site, then buying a traffic might be good. This should work only for monetizing your site thru ads.
    However, you should be careful when you get into this route because you might have a huge number of traffic,
    but not one of them might be genuinely interested in your product, if you plan to sell one, or whatever you are promoting.
    It may be true that they are offering real human traffic, but this could be a way for them to lure someone like you.
    It is advisable though to build on your own a niche traffic.

    This isn't a good idea for me. If you really want your site to have loyal visitors who will frequently visit it, you should focus on reputation building rather than doing this thing.

    Hi Dwiaryags! With paid traffic although it's advertised as real human traffic you're likely to get a low response/accuracy rate.

    The old fashion way is the best way to have quality traffic that you'll benefit from.

    Kind regards

    Do you believe that autobot traffic will purchase something from you ? If no then better stay away from buying traffic .
    It not only bring you lower conversion rate and might even harm your SEO effect.
