How To Get Traffic From Google And Facebook?

 If you check your website analytics regularly, you’ve probably seen some familiar domains in your traffic sources: Google and Facebook.

At first glance, this seems great.

But dig a little deeper using advanced tracking tools like LeadsLeap’s Real Visit tracking system, and you may find something strange. Your stats might look something like this:

There are no Real Visits (see arrow 1). It’s like a ghost dropped by your page without leaving a trace.

So, what’s going on?

Why would Google or Facebook send traffic that behaves like bots? 

Could it be fake traffic altogether?

And what about those visits that show ‘direct/unknown’ source (see arrow 2)?

Let’s break it down.

Legit Bots from Google and Facebook

First, not all bots are bad. In fact, Google and Facebook both run legitimate bots (also called crawlers or spiders) that perform useful tasks.

These bots are designed to index your link and perform validity checks.

However, this kind of traffic is usually minimal. You might see a handful of visits—not hundreds or thousands.

 So, if you’re seeing a flood of bot-like traffic from these platforms, it’s likely something else.
