    Greetings,

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of paid traffic?

    I heard that it is bad for Google Adsense publishers?

    Could somebody please provide me with more information.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters

    I would not recommend you paid traffic in a combination with Adsense.

    I have heard that already. I am just wanting to know the reason behind it?

    I do not even know what paid traffic is good for. People are paid to come to your site. It's not like they are wanting to see your content?

    Thanks for your prompt response and any clarification.

    Paying for sponsor ads is fine, paying for direct traffic to your site a no no for one they dont send you any traffic maybe 1 or 2 but if you fine a site where you can pay to have say a banner or text link somewhere is fine, how i know google told me when i asked.

    Sometimes paid traffic is overzealous and will click on ads willy nilly, thus making that traffic "bad"

    Paid traffic is not natural and people are forced to visit your site for the sake of payment. Imagine, how long will they stay and what do they gain from your site? It is always better to aim for search engine traffic.
