You need a small amount of traffic immediately
I've been doing some internet marketing over the last couple of years and I know how tough it can be. My priority was to get a really good Google ranking so I would be in the top four listings for my search terms. It's not enough to be on the first page anymore, as I found out. I encountered a kind of chicken and egg scenario. I could optimize my sites for Google ranking but it didn't help if I didn't have at least some traffic. I couldn't get any traffic until I got a decent Google ranking. See the problem?
Traffic Simulators on the Internet
I searched on the internet for solutions that would simulate traffic. By getting a small amount of traffic it would help rank my page more quickly. Most of what I found was, well I'll be blunt, it was junk! Nearly every program would visit my site but would immediately move on to the next link. None of them simulated the browsing habits of a real person. After months of searching and trying out several products, all of which failed to meet my expectations and most would crash on a consistent basis, I decided to program one myself. I hadn't programmed in about 12 years but I used to be good at it, so I decided to give it a try.
What I needed
My design parameters were very clear to me at that point. The program had to be reliable, but more importantly, it had to simulate real people browsing my sites. In other words, it needed to pass Google's Analytics and be seen as real people. The program also had to rack up good statistics on Google Analytics. I researched what Google was looking for and what Google Analytics tracked and here is what I found…
- How many visitors browsed your site in the last month
- How many of those visitors are unique visitors
- How many pages did that visitor browse before leaving your site
- How long did the visitor remain on each page (in seconds)
- If the visitor came from a search engine, what was the search term
Of course, each visit should appear unique to Google and the number of pages browsed and the time on each of those pages should all be random. Didn't seem that hard. The trick was to get Google to think that any one unique visitor is browsing multiple random pages and staying for random amount of time. Then another unique visitor does the same.
What does Analytics Software look for
Google using several metrics to determine if a single visitor is browsing your site, links on your site and staying for any length of time. They are mostly the following…
- IP Address of the user
- Session cookie if any
- Location in the world
- Type of browser used
Fake Traffic is easy to spot
Google can detect fake traffic if any of the following occurr…
- Pageviews per user (For multipage sites, if 1, likely fake.)
- Time on Site (If 00:00:01 or less, likely fake.)
- City (If all the same city, likely fake.)
- Site Overlay (If similar click % on every link, likely fake. If click pattern abnormal, likely fake.)
So why BusyBee Traffic
Most traffic simulators fail on all of the above.
So BusyBee Traffic was born!
