I want some web traffic on the site to make it appear that there’s traffic. 10 hits a day. They could be from monkeys, or bots, I do not care.
I don’t know about you but that is exactly why a lot of online marketing campaigns don’t work.
You get people like that requesting “monkey and bot traffic.”
And, you get people who will actually help those people get monkey and bot traffic.
To me, the best thing to do with these folks is to turn them away.
Not everybody is going to be a fit with what you do.
And, when you’re clear on who you want to work with and who you don’t, you let your criteria be the judge of whether you work with somebody.
In case this, it was a clear No.
Even if the client wanted to pay big money for monkey / bot traffic, to me, this is dishonest work.
If you’re getting a ton of traffic, and you’re not getting leads or calls with prospective clients.
Or, if you’re selling merchandise online, and you’re converting less than 1% of all traffic into online orders…
Perhaps, you’re being sent “monkey or bot” traffic. I don’t know.
But apparently there is a market for this. And that means, people are willing to provide it.
Anyways, if you want to avoid getting traffic from monkeys and bots, I’d suggest tapping into the power of Facebook ads.
This the number #1 traffic source all my partner and advisory clients use (From $50K/year to $2.5M/year in revenue).
