Other than faking refferals, Let's say i'm on a keyword niche with competition that barely have 1k-5k traffic a day, can fake traffic boost my ranking on that niche? I heard a few people say it does but I wan't to be sure.
 
This one is debatable, but as far as I know Google's algorithm doesn't go by a sites Alexa rank or anything, so no I don't think that's the case at all.

Is that what you're asking?
 
Yeah hes asking if fake traffic actually boosts your google ranking. I always thought of it as "fake traffic is better than no traffic" as long as you dont go overboard, just enough traffic to beat your competitors. The problem is I have never used fake traffic to boost rankings, so I cant say if it actually works. Maybe someone here on bhw can shed a bit more light on this?
 
@cupid_stunt - that's what I'm asking, but, I don't thing your 100% right.
The Traffic junk or not i believe does have a factor.
I'm actually going to test that in a few days weeks, I'm setting up a niche site about cards. It's going to be in Hebrew, so the results for the keyword I picked are fucking nonsense, I believe I can easily get my website to 1st position.

What I want to do is to set up the website featuring Keyword Content, and then stream traffic to it and see how its affecting the stats.

What I am afraid of is finding out that all of this fake traffic can get me Ranked low if spotted.

So like wakkaoaka said if anyone can, shed some light... Thanks

If you limit your fake traffic, then yes its fine. If you are reciving 1,000 pageviews / day, then overnight that goes into 100,000 pageviews - It looks obvious, although if you went from 1,000 pageviews, to 2,000 pageviews overnight, it looks fine because you may have just promoted your website/blog a lot that day/night.

Limit yourself with fake traffic 1:1 or 1:2 (real:fake)
