  • Buying Website Traffic?

I just finished a Clients website and they are selling products and he wants to get his page up to 1st page of google. I did all the SEO and METADATA.

So has anyone ever bought site traffic or know much about it? Or who I should use?

Run away! This is not a realistic expectation unless he's got very little competition and is willing to seriously invest in advertising.

Driving traffic is not the responsibility of a designer or developer. He needs to hire an online media buyer and (if he's not willing to earn the ranking legitimately) a dedicated SEO person.

Yea, that is what I was thinking

Gee, who doesn't want to get to the 1st page in Google? I'd recommend that he set up a GoogleAds account and spend a lot of capital in keywords.

So, unless his web site is highly specific, like midget clown car uniforms, it's doubtful he's going to make that goal.
