Paid traffic<\/strong> refers to visitors<\/strong> who reach your website through paid advertising measures<\/strong>.

What's behind Paid Traffic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term includes all paid visits from digital advertising channels. These include search engine ads<\/a>, social media campaigns<\/a>, or display advertising<\/a>.

Billing is often based on clicks<\/a> or impressions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
