The Internet is positively riddled with traffic generators. They
range from low-quality autorefresh bots using proxies to appear as though they
come from around the world, to sophisticated traffic exchange systems powered
by real people and real advertising. Ideally, you’ll strike upon the most
valuable of these networks when you’re searching, but there’s a few problems.
For one thing, legitimate traffic exchanges are few and far
between. The services we sell are far from typical, and they work because we
put a lot of time and effort into them. We don’t use low-quality bots like
you’d find on Fiverr.
For another thing, the Internet has somewhere in the
neighborhood of two decades worth of traffic bot programs littering the digital
ground. Some have gone through upwards of a dozen name changes and rebrands,
moving from one site to another. They disappear, leaving existing users in the
lurch, never to receive support or updates when the program stops working. Then
identical software comes out under a new name, charging anywhere from $5 to
$250, scamming people out of their cash with the same back-end software.
Finally, of course, there’s the issue of what exactly an
automated traffic generator typically is and does. More on that later. For now,
why not take a look at a list of the best traffic generators we can find?
This particular site isn’t really an automatic traffic
generator. Instead, it’s an old, long-running network for email lists. The idea
is to build an email list independent of SEO or Google, which frees you from
the rigors of content marketing. You still need to work to generate leads, and
you still need a website to pull in opt-ins, but FFA gives you a wide range of
tools you can use to succeed. For example, a heat map and Google Analytics
integration ensures the system gives you all the information you need to
succeed. You can split-test as many as 100 variants on a given page, to make
sure you’re using the best one. And, of course, the network is old and
long-running, meaning it has a positive reputation and a history of being
effective. You can find plenty of support from the staff and other users.
You can also take advantage of their signature free for all
email exchange. When you register, you add your link to a list, an a selection
of that list is send out in a newsletter every day to FFA members. You’re not
just signing up for a valuable tool; you’re signing up for a ready-made
audience already potentially interested in your site.
PBP is sort of a cross between a traffic generator and a
multi-level marketing scheme, only without the threats that MLM traditionally
entails. You’re not absolutely required to sign up under someone, though the
program does cost money on a monthly basis. You’re granted access to traffic
generation tools, as well as other promotional information and training. The
MLM comes in with their referral commissions, which many people use more than
the marketing tools themselves. There’s a sizable commission for enrolling new
members, as well as seeing them succeed.
Monster-Traffic is another traffic exchange, though it’s
initially a little off-putting due to the 1995-style website. It’s a free for
all styled advertising list, where anyone signing up becomes part of the
audience and an advertiser at the same time. You sign up and you can enter a
link into their system, and that link is added to a roster that is send out to
every member of the group. Additionally, registration allows a free solo ad; an
ad that isn’t drowned out by other advertisers in that mailer.
Monster-Traffic has two primary benefits; the first is that they
have a free account. While premium accounts cost $10 monthly, there’s also a
referral bonus. Signing up a user with your referral link earns you a free year
of premium membership, so it’s easy to get the ball rolling and end up with
free traffic year after year.
TrafficWave is, again, not quite a traffic exchange. Rather,
it’s a valuable tool to use with the traffic you’ve already attained. It’s a
fairly sophisticated autoresponder for email lists, with a 30-day trial and a
suite of tools designed to help you put together the best autoresponses
available. Use it in conjunction with any of your affiliate or referral
programs for a sizable benefit.

As the name implies, 1MC is a program that allows you to rack up
a sizable number of clicks to your website in a very short time. It advertises
itself as a “fake traffic generator” and that’s really what it is; it’s not
going to earn you any money through commissions or referrals. It may earn you
cash through pay per view ads, particularly if you use a proxy list, but its
primary purpose is typically for testing. If you want to make sure your
analytics are accurately reporting clicks, you can schedule a number of clicks
through the software and track them. You can also set it to freely spam a site
with clicks, to test the server under load. You should, of course, avoid
targeting competitors; they won’t take kindly to an unwanted server stress
test.
No, this isn’t a tool to generate traffic jams on your way to
work. Instead, it’s a piece of software a lot like 1MC, designed to send hits
towards a website repeatedly. This one is a quick and easy to use program, with
very little in the way of customization options, but that’s okay. It’s designed
to do one thing and one thing only, and it does that thing.
This is another program doing much the same as the previous two,
but it has a few unique aspects that put it on this list above the hordes of
others. Particularly, it comes in many forms; a web interface, a stand-alone
browser, a windows or mac executable or even a paid version. In a fit of
goodwill, the paid version – costing $30 for the cheapest version – comes with
a huge warning to try the free version before buying. It also warns of a lack
of refund policy, so buyer beware.
These paragraphs are beginning to sound like broken records;
Traffic Magnet is yet another source of bot traffic. It will get you the hits
you want, this time powered by a minor traffic exchange. The software itself
looks hilariously like a poorly designed powerpoint, but in the end, the
interface doesn’t matter if the program does its job.
A unique flower in the world of traffic generators, Daytona – a
codename – uses a command line system. It’s also designed to work on Windows 7,
it allows QoS throttling and it supports IPv6, which surprisingly little
enterprise software does today. It’s also freeware developed by Microsoft.
Finally, we have yet another traffic generator. This one is one
of the slickest available, and it’s powered by a decent back-end network that
has the potential to actually funnel real views your way rather than just blind
bot traffic. It also bundles in analytics and marketing tools, including
keyword research tools and conversion analysis.
About Bot Traffic
As a final note here, you always need to be aware of the
difference between high quality traffic, traffic exchange network traffic and
bot traffic.
High quality traffic is the best kind of traffic, consisting of
real people who are interested in your product and are visiting your site to
learn more. These are the leads you want to nurture. They’re also hard to
acquire.
Traffic exchange users are comparatively low quality, but
they’re still real humans. You’re getting real people to view your site, you’re
just not bringing them in organically the way Google intends. You can make
money from these users, but your conversion rate will be typically lower than
what you might see from organic traffic. Of course, it’s also much cheaper and
faster to find this traffic than it is to invest in SEO and content marketing.
Bot traffic, finally, isn’t very useful at all unless you’re selling
advertising that earns you money based on pageviews, not by referrals or
commissions. You can use fake traffic for testing or for abusing such programs,
but you won’t sell products to robots. Always be aware of the kind of traffic
you’re bringing
