That's a farm generating thousands of views and it all looks legit.

For me and my partners the measure of 'success' has never been how many people visit our sites. It's always been 'how many sales' did we make each day?

Kindly don't misunderstand me,
I'm NOT a fan of the Abusive, Giant, American social media platforms and search engines. So, as a militant revolutionary, I support, 110% anything that takes money out of their pockets and destroys their hegemony. (Hopefully, what I just said isn't considered being political)

Organic traffic is not BS. The bot traffic is not traffic, it's not real.

I think the point he’s trying to make is it’s getting harder to spot the difference between the 2 when strictly looking at visitor analytics.
 
You are comparing organic traffic with bot traffic. Both are not the same, one is real and the other is an illusion
 
Traffic alone means nothing if it doesnt convert. I only care about sales and leads not views.
Most people chase numbers and forget the money part.

Good luck finding that '100% Organic Traffic'
From my perspective, you've got about as much chance of finding it as finding a virgin in a brothel.

That's exactly the point.
At the end of the day it's your wallet that counts. Someone can have a trillion hits a day and make NOTHING while someone who has only a hundred earns $2k.
Suffice to say I'm not a fan of the nickles for clicks economy.

Wow! Didn't saw that one coming! Jeez!!!
 
Traffic by itself is just a metric, not a result. If it doesn’t convert into sales or qualified leads, it’s essentially noise. Bot traffic might inflate numbers, but it doesn’t build a business or validate an offer.
Organic traffic matters because it usually comes with intent, but even that only has value when the offer, funnel, and messaging are aligned. Chasing views without focusing on conversion is an easy trap. At the end of the day, revenue and leads are what determine whether a strategy is working, not raw traffic numbers.

The problem no one is addressing is that bot and other 'fake' traffic has infect every corner of the Internet. Plus it's the majority of all traffic.
So, how the heck is someone supposed to find organic traffic anywhere on the Internet?
 
Organic traffic and bot traffic are not the same—one represents real visitors, while the other is just an illusion of activity.

Here's how you find 'ORGANIC' traffic on the Internet.

Go hand out paper coupons for your website in an Apple store.
 
Traffic isnt bullshit, unqualified traffic is. People obsess over volume because its easy to screenshot, not because it pays - wallets dont care about GA graphs. In 2026 most web traffic is polluted anyway, bots, scrapers, prefetch, AI agents, fake socials, so treating raw visits as signal is naive

Only metrics that matter are actions downstream - leads, replies, purchases, repeats - everything else is vanity or diagnostics. If traffic doesnt change decisions or cashflow, its noise, whether its organic or not
