Can anyone let me know more about buying traffic and how to do that on the safe side.

Is there any buy traffic guide to follow ?

Thanks

Good instincts in this thread. , several members (notably and ) flagged low-quality results and rightly focused on targeting. Below is a compact, practical checklist to run a safe, measurable test if buying traffic is still being considered.

  1. Define the goal first: visits, signups, or sales. Pick a billing model that matches the goal (CPC or CPA for actions; CPM only for awareness).
  2. Demand transparency before paying: a publisher list, sample raw click logs (IP, timestamp, user agent, referrer) and permission to drop your own tracking pixel. Require a written refund policy for invalid traffic.
  3. Track everything: use unique UTMs or a dedicated landing URL per vendor, for example https://yourdomain.com/offer?utm_source=vendorX&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=pilot. Capture conversions in analytics and in your server logs so you can cross-check.
  4. Run a small pilot (days, not weeks). Compare engagement by source: bounce rate, pages/session, avg. session duration, and conversion rate. Stop the campaign if quality metrics are clearly worse than organic benchmarks.

Red flags to stop and demand a refund: very short session times, near-100% single-page visits, perfectly uniform hourly traffic, identical user agents or screen resolutions, or traffic from unexpected countries. Use simple server-log correlation (IPs, reverse DNS, geolocation) to confirm suspicions.

If the pilot fails, move budget to more controllable channels. Search/social ad platforms (Google/Microsoft/Facebook/LinkedIn) give more targeting and fraud controls, and organic routes (SEO, content, partnerships) pay off longer term — advice echoed by and . Keep the tests small, insist on transparency, and use measurable conversion goals rather than raw visit counts.

Buying traffic is a waste of time and resources. Often the traffic sources are not actual humans, they're bots and crawlers and the human traffic that does trickle is of the lowest quality possible because they are usually tricked into showing up and hit their back buttons pretty quickly.

Thats the feeling i have got when i spent the $49.99 and got pings.
I guess the traffic purchase is all fraud

The site did promise traffic - but the type of traffic is another question. Another important question to potential vendors is: "Does it help drive targeted traffic to the site?"

I think such traffic are untargeted, try out to build traffic through social media sites and optimize your websites with the right keywords.

And be patient! Building valuable traffic organically takes time. I'm sure you've heard that before. Search forums for tips on how to improve your site rank. And spend that money on advertising, rather than fraudulent traffic builders.

I agree with most of the people answering this question. Buying traffic is a bad idea. There are many other ways to get traffic to your website and if you are willing to pay money. If you have money to burn, then buying traffic is for you, just think of all the free ways you can target traffic if only you apply some planned effort.
