For around three weeks, we have hardly had any sales from our website. We use Zopim, so will be able to know if a visitor is here. Almost nobody came to the website in the past few days. We have new products, we wrote new articles, had a Google plus page, FB page, and Twitter.

I wonder anyone here has any views or experience about buying traffic, Twitter followers or FB likes from the Fiverr site. Can these traffic will do my website good, or they can be harmful? I don't want to try any these people from US, India or other odd countries, but just saw a man from UK selling 1000 visitors for $5 and an extra 5000 for another $5. Is it wise to do it or this should be avoided?

Thanks for sharing your views and helping me.

Don't do it. A complete waste of money.

If nobody is visiting it probably means nobody knows you exist. Try using Adwords to bring in targeted visitors.

Or it could be people know about your site but but don't want to visit. How much testing have you done?

Thank you, Fisicx and Bill. I won't buy the traffic, as I trust your views. Our online shop was set up last October, and did well. A completely new business and website, but we had good sales, which boosted my confidence. What hit me hard is that from April, things suddenly changed. I didn't do any dirty tricks like blackhat SEO. What we did is genuine articles and posts. Why, when we were entirely new, people found us; when we've been running for half a year, but no visitors! Checked Google, and our key words are still making us page 1 or 2.

England.
Fiver traffic/followers/fans are bots.

Bot's don't buy things, people do.

If you have seen a drop in traffic something has happened. Where was your traffic coming from?

If it was from organic/search then a SEO audit may be worth considering.

If it was from PPC, have you changed your adverts recently?

If it was through social, have you 'got bored' and stopped updating your fans?

We spent £600 quid to advertise on a London area parents' free magazine last year; spent more than 5k to attend a show in NEC last month. Both, are completely money waste. Not even one sale from the magazine (3 issues, 1/4 page advert). The show is another heart-broken money wasting disaster.

Apart from the two marketing expenses, we didn't do any others. No Adwords. All the sales generated from our website are from organic search. During our golden time (before April), people came from Google (95%), Bing and even Ask.

Yes, I'll consider SEO audit. Must do something to get things going.
