Difference between skimmed and popunder traffic
 

What is the difference between buying skimmed and popunder traffic (Advertisers) to an xxx site? What are the pros and cons, which one is better, why? What is the best use for each of these ad / purchased traffic types?

Thank you.

Skimmed traffic = a redirected user. The most hard type of traffic to convert and you risk search engine penalization if you use it.

Pop unders are what they say, a pop under. While it's annoying, it's better to use than skimmed traffic imo :)

Does selling skimmed traffic from an xxx website (to lets say Traffic Shop) affects (or can affect) Google rankings too?

@ johnny_D - If you get traffic from Google, then Google will watch how long the traffic stays on your site as part of deciding if they want to improve your ranking and send you more traffic. Also what the people they send do on your site, like visiting several pages. Of course they also notice if the person they sent to your site is immediately sent off to some other site. If they decide you're not trying to keep people on your site, they often decide there's little reason to send traffic to you.

Now, knowing that, you should be able to decide if doing certain things can hurt you.

HTH

Totally agree. :thumbsup

Actually, I've found just the opposite. Generally speaking, skimmed traffic converts better than popunders.

As one of the few companies selling both, our rate for skimmed traffic is still higher than popunders, meaning there's a greater demand for skimmed. And, traffic we keep for our own house accounts bears this out: skimmed outperforms popunders on dating and cam sites. Go figure....

Good discussion, following thread. :)

Nice info. :)
