Fake website visits and their benefits

So I have been poking around on the site a lot of and I've heard a few times from different members that the new algorithm values hi PR and lots of visits. I've used services in the past like maxvisits and had some positive improvement but it's also high bounce rate visits which I've understood to be the critical differentiating factor between the type of visits that give you rank and the type you don't want. I'm reaching out to see what you guys think is the most valuable.

I run a local repair shop and get most of my traffic through G local and Yelp! but since the new update my site dropped underneath a PR1 site and I cant get my first place listing back.

Fake traffic can be harmfull for your website and its only work for alexa not for SERP

your pagerank and your competitors pagerank does not determine where you are in the rankings. And for local you don't need to focus on that type of thing really.

fake traffic is only useful if you want to sell your site and scam the buyer
