I agree, I've used FIVERR for logo design and things of this nature and had very good results. But as you said, definitely not for traffic for sure!
Most of those people sells hitleap traffic or sites like that, no one cares about what you do on your webiste as they run it in background, it is in some sort adsense safe however I won't risk it Same for any youtube views and like, I can find bots on internet who deliver likes for your videos and views too, yet not real people. Some of those traffic seller also use popups or popunders on heavy traffic websites but most of those websites are just crap and junks, who really watch a popup nowadays?
I have been disappointed using FIVERR to sell gigs. Its like there is too much noise of fake gigs to showcase anything legitimate.
Problem with Fiverr is that you can have a dozen of request in a week and then nothing for 3 month, their algorythm is weird and even if they say that changing your gig might put it back on top, I don't think it does work, at the end, only best sellers get their share, newbies will hardly get something out, though I got a contact thru fiverr and now working externaly with him, a $8k contract, so... can I really complain?
Of course! Don't ever use traffic gigs unless you only need to boost your alexa rankings lol! As for the money niche, solo ads are the best!
Would anyone use Fiver to increase his social presence, Like Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, and Twitter? Also what do you think about the email market on Fiver? All of those could indirectly increase traffic on your website/blog. I would love to hear second opinions on this one. Here is my experience - Twitter gigs are terrible all of them - LinkedIn, Facebook there are good media marketers out there (Is not Cheap) - Google+ (Never Purchased) - Email List (Never Purchased)
I highly, highly discourage using traffic/likes/subs/views from Fiverr. Unless of course your goal is to be banned from Adsense or Youtube, or some nefarious thing.
Fiver is a cess-pool of sellers waiting to sell you low quality crap.... Look at this guy! https://www.fiverr.com/blboss/do-pr9-high-pr-backlinks-safe-google-dofollow-quality has 49k+ reviews, and 47 orders in que.... What newbies do not know is that these profile backlinks are worthless.... this seller sells based off popularity, otherwise he would not sell crap.... Here is a Edu/Gov backlink I purchased for $50 https://www.fiverr.com/chemical129/write-guest-post-on-lifehack Within 3 months, the sellers EDU/Gov page did not renew his subscription, and now the backlink is 100% worthless since his EDU/Gov page no longer works.... Fiver is nothing more then a cess pool of low quality SEO spammers.... (end of story....) There is simply no checks and balances in place to protect buyers/consumers...
Those "traffic gigs" of course that are not real, how you can expect any good traffic per $5 ? Few click from Google Adwords (which is real and quality traffic) will cost you $5
Thank you for your reply. In this moment we need a Linkedin and Google+ Manager for our blog promotion. Where do you think is a good place to look for one? Fiverr is all i know....
SEO providers do not care about your site as they are promoting your site as they would promote your site on the same sites they do with the rest of their clients, profile links, junk gov links, other junk links, then they turn around and call all their link spam "google" safe.... a true seo provider would personalize your link campaign to what you need, however, one on one level service like this will cost you quite a bit of money as it will take time for the seo provider to find the links that will match your needs. If you hire some random SEO provider, then ultimately they will cause more harm to your site, then you will have to clean up the mess later....
No idea if people are still doing it but back in the day they would take the clients URL, run it through the Google URL shortener and then push bot traffic to the Google URL Shortened version of the link. To the client, this would show as referred by Google or something along these lines on their analytics.
