What Did Google Do When Noticed Fake Traffic on Your Blog / Website

Types of Traffic

There are two types of traffic on the internet, do you know? Yes, good traffic and bad traffic. Good traffics are those coming from search engines (organic), referrals and loyal visitors. Today we will be focusing on the bad traffic or the fake traffic on the site and blogs.

What IS Fake Traffic…?

Fake traffic is an automatic software generated impressions on a website. The traffic is a pure simulation by software, tool or a bot which doesn't have any human visitors involvement on your website. The traffic changes very quickly by shifting IP address. The IP address once will be from India and the next IP address can be from some other country. These traffics are fake because, you are posing fake to advertisers and audience that you are generating so much traffic, but not.

Why Do Stop Fake Traffic…?

Have you ever generated fake traffic to your website before? Don’t ever try it. Fake traffic will not give you ANYTHING. You may earn for time being, but will lose everything tomorrow.

If you didn't generate any fake traffic, then someone else can generate fake traffic to your website. Anyone owning a website at some point might receive fake traffic.

Coming to the question on “why fake traffic to your website?”, when this traffic was not generated by you, then why would someone invest to send fake traffic to your website?
