Does CTR Manipulation Still Work?

Charon3 · Dec 25, 2019

Hey everyone,
Does manipulating the CTR and human behaviors by using click bots help boost the rank on Google? I mean the bots that simulate human behaviors; searching on Google, clicking to your website, making interactions like spending time on the page, scrolling, navigating on website by clicking to other pages.

Even if Google doesn't admit that engagement metrics like CTR, bounce rate, session duration etc. don't have any effect on rankings I think we all know that they do influence rankings.

If that's the case these bots that simulate real human behaviors ought to work, right?

My second question is, what are some of the best software that simulates human behaviors?

Yes, done right it still works perfectly.

Software has it flaws, if you want to start testing, try jingling (traffic spirit)

If you are serious about this consider mturk.

Is this something you've done yourself? Can you share any more details of your implementation? Thanks

Possible with macro and custom bots . But you need to have residential IPs which are costly.

What sort of movement did you see?

You can test yourself. Get any local service. For example "<your_city> <the_service> <the_name_of_theb_bussiness>"
Do a massive campaign, like 500-1000 visits per day

You obviously need a good amount of integral to perform this...

After less than 1 month if you do a search you will see that the autocomplete with that query will start showing up.
Obviously (as I've explained before), it's difficult to rank an individual local service for a broad query that could be looking for a list of services within an area (to select one among many), but still directing the query is really important.

This is just 1 use-case to illustrate the idea.

I would like in the future, to show up a little bit more detailed explanation of this (maybe in the Jr.VIP section?, not sure)

Hope it helps.

Click-through rate is the ratio of users who click on a specific link to the number of total users who view a page, email, or advertisement.

Cheers

Cheers dude, that would be awesome!

I also need services and software in this area

This seems risky but try it on a parasite site first before testing it on a money site

It's been extensively (relatively) tested. It works.

I have been testing and no results so far.

There are million type of methods to approach its not possible to try all, One of my work was on adsense ads CTR. Banner changes its X - Y Axis on every click. And its from your own traffic not any proxies or bot. Code will be embedded with your CMS core files. Just a small peak on code sorry i cannot share my whole code but you will get more idea what its based on.

$crawlers_agents = implode('|',$crawlers);
if (strpos($crawlers_agents, $USER_AGENT) === false)
return false;
else {
return TRUE;
}
}

// If visitor is a crawler, will redirect them back to google.
function ad_google() {
ob_start();
// Check for Google Bot
if(crawlerDetect($_SERVER['USER_AGENT']))
{
header("Location: http://google.com");
exit;
}
else {
echo "Debug - Google Bots : You're are not a crawler! Proceed<br>";
}
return ob_get_clean();
}

function main($atts = [], $content = null, $tag = '')
{
$timeout = "9000";
ob_start();
$atts = array_change_key_case((array)$atts, CASE_LOWER);
$wporg_atts = shortcode_atts([
'image' => '0',
'video' => '0',
'height' => '400px',
'width' => '400px',
], $atts, $tag);

$refs = array(
'facebook',
'twitter'
);

Yeah, I heard some people who were doing this to rank Youtube videos, but it sounded quite sophisticated. They had built their own system for it and were using it for their own channels, not selling the service.

Yes it's works well..

Could you share which software you are using?

What are these softwares called btw? Is there an official name like "CTR bot"?

Thanks for the suggestion but jingling seems like you need to do manual work. We're looking more like an automated bot.

Automated bot? Are you looking for an AI that first identifies your keywords and then sends traffic according to that automatic research?

I’ve a journal started on this a week or two ago. I’ve heard mixed things so I’m curious to see the results.

Of course not. You give the keyword to the bot and which URL it will click. It searches the keyword on Google and clicks to your URL.
