edume Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 On Friday, we purchased so called traffic from a seller named “Linda”. Sorry, I can’t tell you the username as it may affect this posting. But, she’s in there with other sellers providing so called traffic to your website. In this case you would receive about 200 to 300 “real” visitors as she claims every day for the next 50 days.Ok, we purchased this for five bucks. Now, we have our own method of tracking and it’s not google analytics, it’s actually much better. Our tracking system can find info right down to the street where the person lives. Yes, there are php scripts that are available that can do that for you.Anyhow, as soon as “Linda” confirmed, suddenly I’m getting traffic to the url that I provided. Wow, that was fast, but is it possible? Well, you can ask my wife, she’s a programmer and she will tell you, NO it’s not possible. This person “Linda” simply has a software that she loads which pretends to send you traffic from Linkedin, FB, Twitter and others. It is not real traffic and it will not increase your sales.As soon as I told “Linda” that this can’t be real traffic according to our tracking system. The ip’s were fake. After I said that, suddenly no more traffic. Obviously she clicked stop on her software and immediately cancelled my order.In summary, buyer beware of these kinds of gigs because you are simply wasting your time and money.In the next day or two I’ll be writing about how you can get real people traffic to your website without the need for fake services. In the mean time be careful how you spend your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edume Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Sure, it’s fake. We test different sellers. We are currently developing a tv show related to micro jobs and freelancing. Fiverr is the perfect example of fake and fraud! LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfolder1 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Fiverr does not condone this type of gig and in fact shuts them down when they are complained about. Fiverr is not a fraud site, I am a video seller on here and as you can see I do very well. Anyone that buys fake traffic should know better. It’s been discussed on here so many times you can’t count. Yet every day someone is complaining they got ripped off by “fiverr”. When in fact, it is the buyer trying to "rip off"someone by showing that they have lots of traffic, when in fact they do not.

megatraffic2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 definitely, the traffic is bots etc, it won’t get you any sales maybe just give you a better site rank. that’s all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edume Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Sure, fiverr does not “condone” what these sellers are doing but they certainly they are not doing anything about it because it’s big revenue to fiverr! There are less ethics on fiverr than you may think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linh2007 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hello,Fiverr is not a fake. There are some fakes phonies in all businesses. And there are many honest vendors. I have purchased 25 graphic design gigs from three different Fiverr vendors so far in the last 12 months and they were all good. However, I have had a few vendors that look shaky. What helped me from the scam was I emailed them first asking them some relevant and direct questions. If the answers are shaky, then you move on. Like this one vendor who said he (or she) would send me some “vibes” through the universe to heal my illness for $5. Haha! Also I just saw an ad from a Fiverr “graphic design” vendor called missbexydust from Australia who posted some X-rated adverting explicit material (body parts). THAT --Fiverr should have some policies about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersmall Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Be pragmatic. Five dollars is a very small amount of money to test out a seller who may have the potential to become a long term cooperator. If you spend fifty dollars trying out ten sellers - and find one excellent new contact - it will be worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edume Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Reply to @petersmall: 5 or 50, the result will be the same! Don’t be fooled by what sellers provide because most have no concept in business communications, only to take $ especially in the US. I lived in the UK years back, much more respectable than North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
