Hey there Warriors!

First, I'd like to say I'm really happy to be a part of this lively community. I'm really hoping someone can help me with a concern I am having with my blog's traffic. I would appreciate any assistance anyone can offer. Thank you in advance!

I run a food blog which generates quite decent traffic through social media and search engines. The blog isn't huge or anything, but it does alright for itself (Alexa Rank 300,000+). A huge proportion of our traffic comes from social media shares (primarily Pinterest and Facebook) and search engine hits (about 300+ a day, not much but it's alright).

However, I recently decided to purchase some web traffic from a site with a fairly good reputation on the Internet. This site promised targeted geographical traffic by 100% real people, without a single use of bots. They generate traffic for clients through owning a big network of expired domains which populate with links for visitors to click through. Purchasing traffic through them means a link to your site is added to the list of sites on their expired domains. This is what they claimed. Also, they do not work on the basis of Pay-to-surf, pop-up ads, pay-to-click, etc. They merely list the site on their repository of expired domain names and have people choose to click on a given link out of their own free will. Sometimes they utilise XML feeds too. 

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

You got some answers on WF and I am agree. I know the main source. Seems that you bought no-targeted traffic from some reseller. The main seller had different niches, when I worked with them few years back. This is not BOT traffic, but generally is not the best converting one. BTW is posible to create bot traffic which looks much more legit, so the real metrics should be conversion rate and using trusted sources, if any. You decide if this traffic is ok for you! Best
