Does Bot Traffic (Sepempire) Affect SEO Ranking?

stevest908 said:

Hi all, as the title mentioned, I have been using Serpempire for few months. At first, it does help on the ranking, with only a few backlinks I get good ranking with some important keywords.

However, start from Nov, there is an update of Google, and I start getting a lot nonsense keywords and eventually, the ranking of my important keywords are getting worse and worse (dropping from 4 to 14, but CTR is raising because of bot traffic).

Anyone can give me some advices? How to save this? I have been reducing bot traffic, rewriting most of the content and add few more backlinks but it doesnt seem to help. And now I am stuck in a dilemma,
which could hurt my rankings even more. But if I keep them, I feel like the bot traffic is killing my SEO slowly (or not?).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, Bot traffic does not kill SEO. The issue with a lot of people (might not be your case), is that they pay for bot traffic with spikes up their rankings, and then suddenly stop the flux. This is not how proper CTR works. When you use bot traffic, you need to factor in the amount of real organic traffic over time. And as more real organic comes in, you progressively reduce the amount of bot traffic. Until the amount of organic matches close to what you were simulating with a bot. Bot traffic is no different than doing CTR manually. I did the latter daily for over 6 years before building automation for it. Again bot traffic does not kill SEO, it's just that people tend to shoot themselves in the leg from not looking more deeply how CTR actually works.
