How buying cheap traffic from Fiverr hurts your Google Ranking

by bobby_shahzad
54 replies
Hello Guys,

I want to share my bad experience with cheap fiverr traffic hits GIGs so no body else will face the same problems in future.


Recently we were doing good impressions for our website on Google. But I thought it will be a good idea to buy some gigs from Fiverr and generate some more traffic. That was my bad decision.

From google analytic stats, I realize I was being bombarded by fake hitbots that would just send traffic to my website from some anonymous referral.

But worst part was, they were affecting my Bounce Rate and creating 100% bounce rate which is taken as a very bad signal.

I noticed from last week our traffic ranking started falling and we lost some key positions on SERP due to high bounce rate.

Just be careful who you buy the traffic from, as it can back fire in a bad way.


Bobby

    You get what you pay for. Human targeted traffic costs more. These types of traffic from Fiverr are only good to boost Alexa rankings.

    Google won't register the bounce since it is a direct visitor. Google just watches visitors which go through Google, and tries to see if they like it.

    "These types of traffic from Fiverr are only good to boost Alexa rankings. "

    Likewise if they are not searching through Alexa, Alexa wont notice it, other then from a toolbar which a robot likely doesn't have.

      Interesting point PBScott - do you think there's another reason for the loss of position in the SERP's?

        You can lose SERP positions from many things, but I am sure it is unrelated to the junk visits.

      I have google analytics stats behind my back to prove that it was not direct traffic, rather refferring traffic AND it has 100% bounce rate.

      your bounce rate is 100% when visitor press back or close session in less than 5 seconds

        For SERP purposes Google tracks their search results. Referral or direct they do not come from Google so they are not Google's business. Google is in the search engine and advertising business. Google tracks their visitors, not your back button. They track from when they leave Google to when they return.

          I think PBScott is right. My question is why would anyone think the Traffic Gigs on Fiverr are real? If these guys had that good traffic they would never sell it for $5 they would not even be offering a service at Fiverr.

          Thanks PBScott, i think you make sense.

          Then why do you think my rankings have dropped all of a sudden? Was there a new google update recently?

          We also did not publish any content on blog for a while, may be thats why?

          Also I bought some social media sharing gigs, can they be causing damage instead?

            Social Media is once again outside of the the search engines and shouldn't effect it. I would suggest not wasting money on Social Media sharing gigs. Robots don't convert, and don't have any friends that will either.

            Maybe it is because you have not produced content recently, or also it is possible some links you had, you no longer have, or they depreciated overtime, as the links go further back in a blog or forum, and their links do as well.. Possible your competition is working harder than you are? Perhaps Google found your content to be less relevant than others.

            We have been having a problem recently where some of our top products have 3...yes 3 Amazon sellers ahead of us. Since Amazon just started selling clothing again. Kind of sad that products we have sold for 8 years can suddenly be listed on a higher authority website and outrank us, but that's what happens sometimes. I expect this won't be the case for very long, we will probably have to live with just one Amazon ahead of us for the future though.

            Google works in waves, maybe you crested and you will have to wait a while to rise to the top again.

            You will probably never have the answer to why your ranking is down, search engines work in mysterious and secretive ways.

            Google is always updating, you just don't hear about many of them.

            This is sometimes worth checking.

          The OP specifically said that he is using Google Analytics on this site, and was seeing the bounces.

          Why do you think Google released Analytics in the first place?

          I can assure you that is WAS NOT so that YOU could gather traffic statistics for your site.

          Everything Google does is to give them insight into traffic and the behavior of that traffic. Their business is NOT SEARCH! They are in the ADVERTISING business

          Analytics is very little different from Google Search, in that they are both designed specifically to gather traffic information from the web, and to codify/analyze the behavior of ALL web visitors (or as much of it as they can see). Both are simply traffic magnets (not unlike your freebie offer on an opt-in page) for the purpose of enhancing their ability to deliver targeted advertising.

          While Google Search does serve as an advertising medium (via AdWords) to generate income, it also serves as a data collection point to gather and store information about the behavior of its visitors.

          While less used than the search engine, Google Analytics has the benefit of being able to collect much more refined information with regard to individual web pages on which it is installed. For instance Google Search (on its own), cannot know exactly how long a visitor has stayed on a web site. It only knows when it delivered a visitor to that site. It can then look for additional traffic from the same IP to determine if the visitor immediately returned to the search session to 1) do another search, or 2) to page down the previous set of results. It is this activity (and the time between those 2 search activities) that identifies to Google search that the visitor "bounced".

          Google Analytics, instead, offers the webmaster the ability to collect and analyze their own traffic patterns - even that direct traffic that Google would never be aware of had the webmaster not installed the analytics script on their site. NOW Google has knowledge about where the traffic goes once it lands on your site.
          • Did they click through to another page?
          • How many?
          • How long did they stay on each?
          • Did the visitor leave your site?
          • How - by closing the browser, following a link, or typing in a new URL in the address bar?
          • How long before they did either?

          For all of that non-SEO traffic, they can collect a treasure trove of information - including the traffic source and how long they stayed on your page.

          As long as you're spending the time to read all of this, take another moment to think about all the other "free" Google tools you might use (Gmail, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google+, YouTube, Google Calendar, ad infinitum). Google has many ways to collect information about you and your web sites, and to correlate that information for the purpose of better targeted advertising (Google's real business).

          While buying junk traffic to your site is pretty wasteful in and of itself, I think if you digest all of the above, you'll realize that it is NOT invisible to Google, and can also be very damaging.

            Nice heads up from OP.

            I think some do not want to face reality in situations like this. Particularly since Fiverr is such a huge platform and has been the 'go to' place as of lately

            But the fact is the miserable Bounce Rate does correlate to a drop in SERPs.


            There is no question about this

            A long statement with a logic gap.

            Google search is about giving accurate search results, and they concern themselves with the quality of their search results, not the visitors from elsewhere.

            Google is scientific enough to know that random visits from uncontrolled sources do not fall into any sort of usable control group. My argument is that it is illogical for Google to do so, not impossible. I do not KNOW this, I just give them the benefit of the doubt on this, due to it being silly of them to do otherwise, and they do not have a reputation for being silly.

            If you so worried about bounce rate in analytics, why not put an iframe on your page with a second analytic code on it, then you can fool analytics into thinking you have a super low bounce rate....you can do this, but it isn't helpful or smart, because Google doesn't work that way, and would effect metrics like load time that Google does actually care about.

            I am not going to keep arguing my point, some people get it, some don't.

              I have to agree with Sid here. Google main concern is to give accurate VALUABLE search results. They do the best work to slam spam websites and those who try to falsely increase their ranking, stats and so on.

              I know that it might not be your fault if you get slammed with robot traffic, but you don't think they already track those fiverr sources of traffic? You don't think they already know what are they, who are they and to whom they deliver it ? Come on, be serious.

              They have a huge database of paid traffic IP's and links , and once you keep sending notes that you try to buy these stuff is RKO on your website. Because someone sending free traffic for you to degrade you, yea that doesn't work. But somebody buying fake cheap worthless traffic to degrade you? Not plausible. Possible but not plausible.

              And when they see you get only traffic from cheap deals , that means your only concern was to buy fake traffic, thus slamming your SERP is a must do.

              If I'd be Google, would I sent traffic to cheap worthless websites? NO WAY. I want to display only the top quality, top notch content websites. How do I notice who are those that I need to push all the way down in the results? It's signals like this. Paid traffic, paid backlinks, paid (cheap) directories. Because I know they don't focus on quality, they just focus in tricking me, the search engine. Maybe I don't catch them all the time, but ooh boy when I catch them. I'll make it worth the wait. Google is not a giant for being merciful .

              To other people : don't buy traffic and don't buy links from FIVERR. It will hit you so hard that will be almost impossible to recover. Focus on the quality of your content / service and you are going to win on the long term.

      Thanks for sharing Bobby. I've considered trying some of the traffic gigs offered on Fiverr, especially the gigs that have like 1k+ positive reviews. It defiantly looks tempting, I just was never brave enough to take the dive and see if if had a positive or negative effect on my sites rankings with Google.

    I tried my hand before on traffic from Fiveer gigs, hoping to get as much as traffic as I can to my website at a cost-effective price. These gigs are bought from those who have very good reputation on Fiveer and have receive many positive reviews.

    And similar to you, I receive near 100% bounce rate, with no conversions at all. I feel that the traffic is not targeted at all. If you really want targeted quality traffic, you really need to pay more, such as through FB advertising or Google Adwords. They are more expensive but the results are better.

    I experience this myself sometime ago using fiverr to send traffic to my website. My website lost its page rank so fast that I thought I was doing something wrong with either my website or my backlinks till I later came to realize that it was the fake bot traffic that I got from fiverr just to boost my rankings.

    You need to research/qualify who your buying your gigs from. There are good ones out there. All my fiverr services are top notch in my book.

    Unfortunately you have a lot of people on fiverr just because its so large and all they care about is making a buck and they don't care how they do it.

    When you buy a product, fail at it the first time do you call it a scam and go buy something else?

    Fiverr had done a lot for people

    Again just take the time to research, ask questions and keep a folder on your computer with good fiverr sellers.

      Terrific answer, Sid.

      Also consider how many people use Webmaster Tools (or whatever they're calling it now).

      Millions of site owners are providing Google with enough data that they can do some things that seem like magic.

      It's one reason that I sometimes do market research at the public library. Not only do they re-initialize the network daily, wiping out cookies and other trackers, the users are so random that I get totally different results from identical search strings than I get from home.

        Sorry, but I think YOU are the one who introduced the "logic gap" into this discussion, and now it seems that even with an awareness of the level of information at Google's disposal, you choose to assume that they do not use that information.

        I don't know about you, but if I go to google.com, at the top of the page I see links to my Google+ account, my Gmail account, Google Apps, etc. Oh WOW - there's my profile image!


        Google search is about giving accurate search results, and they concern themselves with the quality of their search results, not the visitors from elsewhere.
        Of course they do.

        An advertising platform with no visitors would be worthless to them, But... no more so than a search engine with no advertising.


        Google is scientific enough to know that random visits from uncontrolled sources do not fall into any sort of usable control group. My argument is that it is illogical for Google to do so, not impossible. I do not KNOW this, I just give them the benefit of the doubt on this, due to it being silly of them to do otherwise, and they do not have a reputation for being silly.
        What's random about a visitor with a gmail account who visits a web site with either a) Google Analytics code installed, or b) Google AdSense code installed? ...and why do you think Google would simply ignore any information it could gather with regard to the browsing habits of said visitor?

        The presence of the analytics/adsense code allows them to retrieve any google cookies from that visitor's machine (i.e. the visitor's gmail account info). That visitor and that web site are no longer "uncontrolled sources".

        As John said,, above:

        Google is obviously using the local cookies on a specific machine to tailor the search results, but just think how those results would "magically" change if John simply logged into his Gmail account at the library and repeated the same search.

    Agreed Sid, worrying stuff. But isn't it a Catch 22 situation? You use google they use you, you don't use google and you miss out on google's market share. Can't exactly take a moral stance as a business.

      I'm not dissing their business model. In fact, I think it's brilliant!

      But it's obvious that people (even marketers who should know better) are oblivious to the depth and breadth of Google's intelligence gathering machine, and the synergy of all the different working parts.

      Google Search is NOT a stand-alone tool, and the "spiders" are not their only info-gathering mechanism. In the "back office" you can bet that Google is amalgamating ALL of the information that it collects from its various sources - and using ALL of that information to maximize their ad revenue.

      To even imagine otherwise would be sadly naive.

    I'll never understand why people buy this fake, junk traffic. I saw an ad in the WF classifieds the other day where the guy was selling 2500 visitors for $5. Come on people. Do you actually think that you are going to get 2500 real visitors for $5? Not going to happen.

    It all goes back to that old saying: If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

    I would imagine when you buy junk traffic like this Google views it as trying to game the system. And we all know what Google does to people who try to game the system. SLAP!

    People that do this type of thing have nobody to blame but themselves when it backfires on them.

    I don't see the need for it to be boosted, just saying.

    Thanks for the tips and as it has probably already been said this is your business and you need to invest in it. Trying to get high quality traffic for cheap may not be the best option!

    Try investing in solo ads.. I have one going right now and the sales come in when people go through your funnel.

    The goal is to break even on the traffic you spend so it's all about those conversions. Getting the conversions up on the squeeze isn't that difficult..

    But, breaking even on high quality traffic when you're promoting some low converting Clickbank product @ $47 isn't a great strategy.

    Thanks again for the tip,

    Recently we were doing good impressions for our website on Google. But I thought it will be a good idea to buy some gigs from Fiverr and generate some more traffic. That was my bad decision.

    From google analytic stats, I realize I was being bombarded by fake hitbots that would just send traffic to my website from some anonymous referral.

    But worst part was, they were affecting my Bounce Rate and creating 100% bounce rate which is taken as a very bad signal.

    I noticed from last week our traffic ranking started falling and we lost some key positions on SERP due to high bounce rate.

    Just be careful who you buy the traffic from, as it can back fire in a bad way.

    Do a research before buying anything from fiverr, i do believe that valuable gigs exist but you have to do shattered searching until you find them, read feedbacks, check the seller etc

      It's vanity, pure and simple.

      "My website showed a million visitors last month."

      "How much did you sell?"

      "Nothing. But I got a million visitors!"

      Or it may be naivete.

      Kind of like the old spam assumption. "If I send a million emails, and only 1/10 of 1% buy, I'll be rich."

      I knew old-time sales guys whose only criteria for a prospect was the ability to fog a mirror held under their nose. Fiverr traffic and the like mostly can't even pass that test.

      I can verify that if John logs into his Gmail account at the library, John sees the same results he sees at home.

        Those packages work but in a different way. The other day a gal contacted me telling me that if I wrote a review for her in Amazon, she would tell her 38K followers in Facebook about it and promote my own books to them.

      Fiverr is the number one market marketplace in the world for micro tasks and there is definitely no doubt about it.

      The purpose of creating this thread was to make people aware not to buy gigs from fake sellers apart from that the rest is okay.

      There are plenty of good 5 star sellers on fiver as well who are offering quality services to their customers. The thing is whenever your about to purchase a new gig please see the ratings and reviews of the seller first...

    So the way to rise up in the rankings is to make a note of the sites on the first page and buy lots of fiverr traffic to each of those URL's so they lose their rankings and you rise to the first page without any links. Genius.

        In truth, if the traffic was real and converted they wouldn't sell it to you for $5 they would use it themselves and make many multiples of that.

    Thanks for sharing. I have had some decent experiences with Fiverr but it depends on what services you want. I have heard traffic is not a good source from Fiverr but thank you for confirming. Hope you are recovering from the onslaught.

    Google bounce applies to more than just google source traffic. Google knows more than you think, because everything is connected.

    Analytics or no analytics installed, it makes no difference.

    you must have brought it from a new guy on fiverr and he would have probably sent you bots! Always go to top rated sellers on traffic. that way everything will be fine
