I got an offer 3 days ago from a friend of mine, since my site got approved in a special network - which work very well for facebook traffic source. He wanna hire my site and split the cash as 50/50.

To be honest I dont know what he is doing but the traffic is going to the top these days, almost broke my hosting. I have to upgrade to the 10x stronger plan.

Now I really wanna know how he did it: Where does he post my links on, What is his secret facebook traffic. Any reccommend will be reward - I will not post my site in here since it would dangerous for both me and my friend - but anyone give me good advice will get a decent amout of money via btc or paypal - I promise.

Please help.
 
(1) Google analytics

(2) Check cpanel's traffic stats - like AWStats

(3) search on google like this "mydomain.com" put " before and end like the example

(4) webmaster tools
 
as mentioned above - google analytics
but you can also try services like SImilarWeb
 
i think you already got answer .. from my opinion you can check google analytics ... you will get the things.. if you don't understand go similarweb
 
If you do not have Google analytics, or if you just got GA activated, but still want to know more about the past traffic, if you are running on whm or cpanel, there are 2 free traffic app on your cpanel which you can use, and once of that is awstat.
Both are very similar - it gives you a very good overview on how much traffic - but you will need to filter bot traffic as they include that into your traffic as well, the traffic source, and a general overview on the keyword used to access/find your site from search engines.
It also provides your referral traffic, where they come from, etc.
Thus, if you do not have GA installed, you can still rely on these 2 web stat software to dig further if you are running on whm/cpanel.
 
SEMrush is the first tool I use to get the website traffic report of any site including my competitor site
 
Semrush, Google analytics is just good for normal spy like detecting if the traffic is from google or facebook. Now I need to analyze where does he post my links on facebook.

Google webmaster tool can analyze the facebook traffic? I doubt that...
 
For web traffic analysis google analytics is best. Also, find your traffic on google webmaster tool. It is necessary to find traffic source because of this huge amount of traffic will harm your website on google ranking.
 
Insert an utm code to your links and use Google analytics.
