Jayson Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Any ideas? Well, if I had one, I would use Facebook Groups and Pages. I would grow a social media following on them - or maybe some other platform, and then drive them to the website. Anyway, some types of traffic I would not consider. For instance, some of it is just bots or coming from annoying and/or misleading ads (pop-unders, redirected traffic).
The Blackangel Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 You can always set the registration up so that bots aren't able to complete it. A lot of forums are able to do that, and it keeps the bots at bay.

It's that super-cheap stuff - like 1000 visitors for a dollar. 😂
The Blackangel Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I hadn't heard about that. Where would you even buy something like that?
Jayson Posted May 3, 2019 Author Posted May 3, 2019 Just now, The Blackangel said: I hadn't heard about that. Where would you even buy something like that? Just type in "buy traffic" into a search engine. Anyway, as you were saying with registration, you can keep bots out. However, I'd like to add that "making the registrants answer a backward question" often works (ex: What is the gray spelled backward?).
skyfire Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 I think promoting through the forums of same type like say You have the general gaming forum and you are promoting it through the PS and the XBox forums would be good for the traffic.
