Huge increase in chinese baidu traffic?
 

huge increase in Chinese traffic from Baidu since a couple of weeks, across all our sites.

Anyone else experiencing the same?
And is it possible to convert?

Feel free to spam me with programs you have successfully converted Chinese traffic with

Yes, same situation

Same here but on my end it already looks like the faucet is being turned off. Hope it continues, Exo is paying some decent ad rates.

that might be side effect of negative seo when someone mass linked your site with 1000s of shitty blog comments and those chinese search engines pick those links.

happened to me few times, that chinese traffic went away, but so did regular google traffic.

a month ago it happened to 2 of my sites, and continued for 2-3 weeks
one site's traffic even doubled during that time
in the end traffic went back to normal, no problem with google
zero conversions, but i managed to sell more links than usual :)

I also noticed a really big increase in traffic from Baidu a few months ago. It slowed down right now and it did not make me a lot of money to be honest.

:winkwink:

I do see a decrease in regular google traffic.
But I feel it isn't negative seo. Because the baidu traffic increase is also happening on our old blogs that had almost zero traffic and no ranking.

one of my first starts in adult was getting a bunch of asian expired domains they had tons of traffic, i thought AWESOME - they were all worthless the chinese just didnt convert - to be fair though I didnt test a whole lot either; just selling popunders and adspots to a network some smarlinks CPA - but probably the were not optimized; you would need proably to at least test some very well locaslised landers

I've heard this same comment from several customers recently. Wonder why it's so widespread.

maybe chinese clickfarms have started back up again, and they need something to train their n00bs with :1orglaugh

As i am using Cloudflare on my sites - it is easy to block that traffic.

Why would you block it? Most ad networks pay very well for Chinese traffic.

I am blocking it because this traffic does not converts on cams, only does server load.

In the past i had tubes and JuicyAds paid well for chinese traffic.

A massive amount of traffic from China may be spam. You should look at the duration of visitors from China. It is highly likely to be spam if their time on the site is just a couple of seconds.

Do you think restricting traffic is the solution? I have a blog that generated about 5,000 unique visits daily. It currently is generating 50,000+ visitors thanks to Baidu and I'm wondering if blocking makes sense.

As best as I can, I firewall ALL traffic from China, Russia, and Israel, and proxy servers (which are used by mass cyber-hack countries to bypass GEO-IP restrictions).

Some babies may go out with the bathwater, but for the most part, I am not losing any convertible traffic, and keeping the worst scrapers and hackers away from my web assets.

wow! you don't know where to send it?? i will take it off your hands dogg.

Good luck converting Baidu traffic
