    If I sell my traffic, how does it affect SE rankings?

    Wouldn't Google and the like see the redirect and penalize my site? Or are there workarounds for this? My fear is that it would go like this:

    Get high Search Engine ranking > Sell traffic > Immediately lose high ranking and traffic due to redirecting it to the buyer's page.

    Let's hear it.

    Having direct links on your site will surely place you higher in the search engine ranking results, than having redirecting links.

        Why work hard to get that search traffic to sell it off.

        They should dump your serps if you don't actually have anything the surfer wants. Which you don't, if you have to redirect your clicks to a real site.

          If I have a site that generates good traffic, and is converting here and there, but would make more money by selling it to a traffic broker, why would i not sell it to the broker?

            Think about it from googles point of view.

            You get XX,XXX traffic from them a day, and redirect X,XXX so that people see what they want.

            What are they supposed to do? Just keep sending traffic so it can be redirected to proper places as you see fit?. They've spent BILLIONS making sure their system gives the clicks to where they think it should go.

            Again, just saying look at it from their point of view.

            Of course, I don't know your site, your traffic , or how much you are skimming but if its abnormally high, expect it to effect things.

                    So then you'd recommend just selling traffic via a clickable banner, and not by some sort of redirection script? How do companies do it that are buying and selling large blocks of traffic? I'd imagine my site would get lumped in as "US traffic", and many people would buy little portions of it. How is that handled versus just selling an ad spot?
