Yeah, you are right, google won't take time in identifying what's going on. It is quite great that it benefited you thoughit helped one of my websites last year, but not by much. A couple of the low search volume keywords that I targeted jumped from page 6 to page 2, or something like that. But when the traffic campaign had reached the end the rankings have gone back to their initial phase.
Don't believe what these guys tell you, getting traffic does help improve rankings. Maybe not for all niches and for all keywords (I'd assume that it won't work for competitive niches like finances, health, web hosting, etc.) but it does work!
EDIT: I forgot to say that it will work if the traffic is legit, otherwise google might know what you're up to. In my case I have gotten traffic from social media, reddit, forums and some meaningless, obscure blogs.
I think google couldn't tell if the traffic was fake or legit. I know that it's a bold claim but I stand by it. Think about it: if you give your URL to someone with millions of facebook followers and that person posts your link to those followers for a whole month, how is google going to know that this is "fake" traffic instead of real traffic? No matter how big and powerful they are they simply can't tell if this traffic is fake or real because it's real lol. And the same with pinterest. Not sure how organic traffic from google has worked, but I'm glad that it did and I'm not interested in finding out the detailsYeah, you are right, google won't take time in identifying what's going on. It is quite great that it benefited you though
Have you used them? Seems you could tell us your experiencesWhat does everyone think of keyword traffic services like site-pop.com?
They can drip feed keyword search traffic using multiple devices.
