Over the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with some paid traffic. I read some good reviews on a company (who I won't mention) so thought I would try them out. They provide reasonably targeted traffic which I understand is supposed to come from expired domains and other advertising. They are not cheap so hoped the traffic might be of better quality than most.
I bought 10 000 visits and for the first 4000 I sent them to a normal page on my website which offers free training and other free stuff. Google analytics showed that about 1500 then viewed my home page and between 300 to 500 viewed most of the other pages which link from it. That all sound quite good but what I thought was slightly unusual was that 400 people viewed my privacy policy, 350 viewed my site T&C and 330 my Disclaimer page.
Personally as a visitor to another website I very rarely, if ever, look at those legal type pages, so I'm beginning to wonder if this traffic is indeed real people as claimed. There has been no new free members signups from these visitors.
A couple of days ago I switched the landing page to a squeeze page (still offering the same free stuff) but which has no other outward links apart from the signup form. I've had over a 1000 visits to the page but not a single email address has been entered and the other strange thing is that the sign up form itself, which is a WP plugin, has only registered about 10 impressions, even though I know it is working correctly.
Can anyone here who has a knowledge of this kind of paid traffic explain what is going on and whether you think these visitors are actually real or not?
I look forward to hearing your comments.
