CTR manipulation: 5 months of testing

I can’t imagine the effect lasting long after stopping a ctr campaign unless the page is truly worthy of being in that spot.

You are approaching it from a wrong position.

When you do a CTR Boost is because you think that your page is better than the rest user-wise not Google-wise for certain keyword. Google sometimes can be extremely stupid identifying this (it's a bot, we cannot make a silk purse out of a pig's ear) and do shit-tests with their sandbox that you may fail at some point unnecesarily (for example setting a page that is not adequately optimized from your site instead of the right optimized page for such query).

CTR boosting is like a physiotherapist for your site. If you are disabled, you are not going to run out of the blue.

Great way of looking at it.

I think the issue is that people generally get greedy and they want that top position so they'll just crank it, Google identities that this is fishy and then it's to the back of the line for them.

Having gradual gains and then replacing those gains with real clicks requires watching that measuring stick.
 
CTR is really dangerous. As soon as you stop your sites drop to page 2 and don't recover.
 
Thank you for the info. Will try it on my next project.

Any real case studies available for CTR Manipulation.

I don't understand this conclusion. Why do you feel this when this is a constant among all CTR boosting systems?

I'm currently considering Viper Tools suggested by @coolsheet, but for me, anything that implies a sales letter is snake oil, so they will probably s**t AF like CTRBooster.

I've been checking CTRify as @SOCOM and gives me better sensations, but I'm also looking for Maps solutions, therefore is not a great deal yet :(

Dude reach out to the owner on Facebook if youre on there. Michael Bowes. Hes a really good dude. I havent had a chance to test em out though. @Zombie Pop showed me some issues with CTRB and he's actually on to something as far as whats wrong with these CTR tools and how IPs, device info, browser, os, etc etc is all leaked and is huge fingerprints.

Honestly hes figured out its best to create your own bots, but Viper Tools and Kraken may be a way to go just havent had the chance to get a trial and run pixel scan. Diving into bot creation this week hopefully.

Not really.

I tested on my own site and my competitor site.

Sending 500-1000 clicks / day non stop for 3 weeks.

After that I paused both campaigns.

1 week later nothing ever happen.

It’s because current CTR manipulation don’t really work, heck, even links building *scratching my head.

All these GMB gangsters are in FB :D

I can't understand FB, posts appear and disappear and it's almost impossible to find old posts. I understand that this gangsters like this SM because is where all the beef lives. But seriously, I was asking you because I severely think that Viper tools is fake AF. I don't know about Kraken though, but is basically run by the same guy.

The only problem with own bots, is where to find the incoming clicks. Probably many find use on rotating 4G proxy, but they are not limitless, and as you say, their major flaw is the absurd fingerprint they leave behind (hardware issues mostly).

This is why I'm constantly trying to hunt something new, without great success.
 
This is very interesting. I've always wondered if CTR manipulation was worth it.
 
Nice post, you shared some valuable information about CTR manipulation
 
Isn't that kinda like ads? It stops immediately after you stop doing it. I doubt this still works.

I've had the complete opposite experience. Done even just a few hundred clicks a month, then stop, the gbps and sites dropped down to 11+ and never returned.

Even if I gradually slowed down, the sites dropped down to what their ranking would be without ctr.
 
It's the huge advantage for running an agency and using CTR.

I ranked one local company, big apartment complex in position #1 for some big keywords.

They paid less then half the contract, so I stopped all services and boom, from #1 back to #17.

CTR provides huge benefits for GMB if you know what you're doing.

It is harder than just a few years ago, where people were spamming even Pogo CTR like mad

As @Slin25 has stated, and from my experience, a more manual approach seems to be working slightly better than just "blasting CTR". It starts to feel something like tiering, where long time ago, people set and forget blast campaigns.

Now you have to fine grain a lot more, and this is why I start to see less value on the popular CTR blasters.

Hi, everybody!

I've tried a few reputed CTR manipulation services during the last 5 months (I have to thank @PinguSpy for the suggestions).

Serpclix: some results after two months, but defintely not worth the money spent. The progression was slow, not that impressive and the results began to stagnate after three months. Very expensive. A good point, though: no regression (deranking) after stopping the process. The visitors clearly behave like humans, so I think they are real people, which is a good point, too.

Topoftheresults: I haven't seen any improvement in rankings (I've tried different settings, to no avail). Some reliable people on BHW (@Alexion) seem to have obtained good results, though, so I can only speak for myself.

Serpempire: technical issues each time I tried to connect - I didn't even start using them.

CTRbooster does work. But it's too expensive to my taste. Moreover, it seems that you'll have to run it all the time and forever, because as soon as you stop, the website will start losing its rank little by little.

Microworkers: probably the best solution. The results were the same as for Seprclix, but way cheaper.

I don't know whether that may help anybody, here. I hope so.
