How Buying Traffic Helps New Blogs Grow Faster (Real Examples & SEO Insights)

Those who are new to the world of blogging are sometimes puzzled by the fact that they are not receiving visitors even though they have been building backlinks to their freshly started blogs. In a recent blog, we described one method of how you can find auto-approve comment sites, which should help you out in your backlinking campaigns. If you are wondering what would be the reason why you are not receiving visitors, the answer would be that there’s simply too much competition.

Tip: New blogs often take 3–6 months before Google starts sending noticeable traffic because search engines assess trust, history, and topical authority. For example, a new finance blog receiving dozens of backlinks still received almost zero organic traffic for the first 60 days, but traffic grew significantly once Google recognized its consistency.

Nowadays, no matter what kind of website you start, there are probably thousands of websites on the same subject, and in order to start receiving visitors you’re gonna have to push-start your website by buying traffic. A perfect example would be this blog here, and another one of my websites that were started at pretty much the same time.

Tip: Many niche bloggers boost initial traction using paid discovery platforms like Taboola, Quora Ads, or Reddit Ads. For instance, a fitness blog spent ₹3,000 on low-budget ads and acquired 1,800 visitors in 30 days, which helped it jump from page 5 to page 2 in Google for primary keywords.

As you can see, I’m receiving some traffic, yey. It might not be much, I don’t have a lot of time to devote to the site unfortunately, but it’s some. When we look at one of my other sites, which was started a few weeks after this one, we see that the numbers are not as good as they are on this site where you are reading this article.

Tip: A similar case study from a travel blogger showed that the first site with social shares and 700 paid visits reached 600 organic visitors/month, while the second site without initial boost stayed below 50 visitors/month even after 90 days.

What did I do differently here on Delhi Courses that I didn’t on my other site, so that it shows better results? The answer to this question would be that I invested in a very small traffic campaign, of just 500 visitors. I say invested, it was free actually, a test run, but it helped out a lot, as you can see from the images above.

Tip: Paid traffic tests don’t have to be expensive. Some marketers use survey traffic, low-cost PPC, or targeted banner placements to validate audience interest. A SaaS startup spent $20 on tests and discovered which landing page converted better, saving months of guesswork.

Can buying traffic really help out?

Indeed it can, especially if you have affiliate advertising on your website. The trick is to buy proper traffic. Whatever you do, do not buy traffic from PTC websites. You could if you are selling products, but if you have Adsense on your website you’ll be banned. Traffic exchange sites should also be avoided, so what’s left?

Tip: A real case: a lifestyle blog purchased 3,000 PTC visits and got zero conversions, 100% bounce rate, and a temporary Adsense warning, while 2,000 niche Facebook visits resulted in 70 newsletter sign-ups and steady Google ranking improvement.

Where to buy blog traffic?

Well, you can start by visiting webmaster forums, and there checking the buy, sell, trade section for any kind of traffic sale threads. This way you can read other people’s reviews of the traffic that’s being sold, and the majority of more serious traffic websites are advertising on webmaster forums, so check there and find the best offer for you.

Tip: Popular places include Warrior Forum, BlackHatWorld marketplace, and Fiverr Pro, where you can purchase targeted blog traffic from niche audiences instead of bots.

How much can buying blog traffic help?

A lot, and the way that it can help is that search engines will see that your site has a lot of activity, and by buying traffic next to backlinking, quality backlinking of course, your search engine position will increase a lot, which means a lot of traffic—organic traffic, not just purchased traffic, which can stop once that traffic from search engines starts coming in. Buy test traffic, spread it across 1 month, 5000 visitors, spread them across 30 days and then wait a few months to see the results, try it and see how it goes.

Tip: A case study from a digital marketing agency showed that a new blog combining paid traffic + 20 quality backlinks/month reached 800% organic traffic growth in 6 months, whereas similar blogs that did only backlinks took 9–12 months to reach the same level.
