Does Google "limit" your traffic?

I wonder about that sometimes.

My daily traffic from google does not fluctuate much at all.

It's so consistent that it's hard to believe.

When you get 100's of hits per day from google I would expect that some days
it would be down by a hundred or two and some days up by 100 or two.

I'm not even seeing it off either way my more than 50 hits and this is
over months.

My number one search term was even switched in google but still the exact same
traffic.

Maybe it's just the normal patterns of surfers that makes it come out this way but
I would never predict it this way using any kind of math dealing with probabilities

If there was a limit it sure wouldnt be in the hundreds of hits.

But no, they do not limit it.

You may be right, but I must also note that there is no way in fucking hell that you
actually know the truth of what they do.

Not sure why you would ask, then turn on the first answer you get. Sorry to twist up your panties mate.

Bottom line is you asked about a few hundred hits, I know that I count mine in the tens of thousands daily, and I know that it increases every month as I build and add more pages and sites. And I'm pretty sure anyone with a clue will say "No google doesnt limit your clicks (especially at such an insignificant number)" Maybe thats not the answer you wanted but it is the answer.

No need to be a prick because I answered your question.

I have this same thought at times. I don't think Google limits traffic, but they rotate results which could have a similar effect.

On my more established sites, you can't tell. But on newer sites, sometimes the traffic is so consistent, I wonder.

Oh, so I'm a prick to point out that there is no way in fucking hell that you know
what google is doing after you made a statement as if you did know.

Sorry for being a dick, but what do you expect when you give an answer that no reasonable person would believe you know the answer to.

Do you have a url to one of those sites you have that gets 10k google hits per day?

Also it would be smart of google to limit traffic to new sites that might just
stick up a virus once the site is in the search results.
Why let that site come up first and infect 300k of google surfers the first day?

In other words, I think google is more sophisticated than "here's some links, click them
all you want". Being able to control the traffic would be the component that if
in comming years they can bill that way, they wouldn't want to be caught without
that capability.

Your flat out answer of "no they don't " is way too confident because I'm sure google can
choke the traffic of any url they want. I'm sure they have tested the system and
may be still testing it on selected sites. I'm mean, for god's sakes, even I can choke
traffic on my traffic script. I'm pretty sure google programmers are as good as me.

My google traffic sure as hell hasn't been consistent and I got 1.75 million visits on August from Google. Even the weekday should affect the amount of traffic coming from Google.

Exactly.

That's what I would expect.

But that pattern is not even close to what I'm seeing on this particular site.
The number of hits from google is almost identical day by day for months.

Sounds like you already knew the answer to your own question...
and then when people who obviously have more traffic than you respond, you contradict them.
seems a bit pointless to have asked at all.
I've never seen my google reference traffic go down... it consistently goes up.

It sure seems like that but I'm guessing that it is probably because with small numbers a 10% fluctuation is next to nothing but if you are getting 50k per day from google and have a 10% fluctuation thats 5k.

It doesn't matter if you have 1 billion hits per day from google, if you don't work at google
then how can you know what they may be doing with their search listings.

That's my point to the other guy.


But hey, maybe you work there and don't want to say so and therefore you now exactly
what google is doing at all times.

It's not a limit on the amount of traffic you get but a limit on the amount of listings you will get. Older sites have more pages, with more links to those pages, creating a very deep structure of popularity all over the site, giving the site more listings, which gets it more traffic.

How does google limit your traffic is what I am wondering?
Once you have had your quota for the day, your urls drop in the rankings? That doesn't sound likley.

And you are a douche. Sorry if the truth made you cry.

Your daily traffic doesn't fluctuate much because the 4-5 hits a day that you get aren't enough to show you any sort of real data.

I haven't even been doing this long and I know the answer to simple questions like these. Google obviously doesn't limit the amount of hits going to your site.

How do I know? The same way ANYONE with any reasonable amount of traffic would know. I look at my charts, I see days where I get huge spikes, I see days where I get huge dips.

Before coming on this board asking a question then getting mad when someone answers it, ask yourself if you should really be on this board. Because I imagine the answer in your case would be definitely not. Get a life, loser.

A debate about google traffic? Maybe you need to be more specific because I'm pretty sure this thread was posted as a question. And the question really has a simple answer, again I'm sorry it isn't the one you wanted to hear, or that I'm not the one you wanted to say it, but it really doesnt change the facts.

Can they limit your traffic? Of course they can, do they? Of course they dont. They dont control search volume they just rank accordingly in preperation for said searches. Dont take my word for it, just fucking look. There is millions of sites on the internet that all prove the theory as reality.

I think you will find it impossible to find a site that is removed once it hits a certain number of hits, and you can be sure google doesnt tell people to stop searching terms once a certain term, or site, has reached its "quota". If you do, I sure would like to see one, until then, my opinions, which are based on long term factual results will stay fairly consistant.

Maybe your sites are great by google standards and they like that.

Sites that they rate as not being great might get less depth in there search routines.

Which actually happens if you look at PR and link placement on the page.

The debate here is "does google go deeper".

They can ban URL's so why would it be far fetched that they could also limit exposure
to a URL.

BTW : Quit taking GFY so seriously. You act like you are in love with the other poster.

Debates usually start with a question.


I've never seen one where the moderator said "Ok number one, start talking and
say anything you want and let me know when you're finish".

Once again, that is a logical answer, but for you to swear by it is rediculous.

If a company can do something then only an idiot does not question if they are in fact
trying it.



Anyway, dude I apologise if you're gettiing upset about this.

I really did not purposely phrase my initial response to piss you off.

I can see how you took it that way because of the profanity in it but let it go.

I believe there is no doubt that google limits traffic..... some responses in this thread misunderstand the concept though, by "limiting traffic" we don't mean that there is a cap on traffic, but rather, there are many categories of site quality in google's eyes that results in them structuring their serp algorithm to certain traffic levels... ie. one type of site may be limited in the 10k a day range, another might be limited to the 100 hits a day

indexing is one way they do it, some sites may have 30k pages, yet google might think the site does not deserve enough status or trust, therefore only 2k out of that 30k might get indexed, and an even smaller amount of those pages may get shown in serp results

there is just too much consistency in traffic being sent by google, at least for sites that might not be in the "trusted by google" upper echelon.... I don't think google likes to increase traffic sent by too high of a percentage, especially if there is a high bounce rate, ie. if you set up 100 new blogs and don't spend any time on backlinks or anything, even though they may have differing keywords, it seems that google is content to send 25 hits a day to them, not much more or much less... that seems to be too much of a coincidence, if it was based on pure luck of the serps and keywords, there should be a wide variability in traffic across the network

Those are some of the things I see also.

The domain I'm actually looking at was once on an IP that was black listed for
spam, TGP cheating etc... I had no Idea about it when I used that server.
My sites ran on it for about 2 years and then I decided to start posting galleries
from that domain and found out about it. That IP was banned by some big TGP
and therefoe so was my domain! This was in the LikeWhoa days.
Their moto should have been "host here and get banned by default".

So there are reasons why a scrutinizing person might be slow to give that domain
a lot of exposure. I could be the original scammer of that IP address for as far as
anyone knows.
