I want to boost mt dead blogs. They were doing great for about 5 years and then nosedived.

I am wondering if it is worth paying for traffic to help boost them. Is it a waste of money? Will it help or hurt anything? I read mixed things online so I am not sure what to make of it.

Yeah, it absolutely can. You have to keep in mind though that this isn't something you can just do once. You have to budget for it and have it be a steady influx or it could backfire and hurt your websites credibility. I tried it on a few of my sites early on. It helped one of them but I ended up doing damage to the other two. Just be cautious!

I think it is fine to use early on. I don't think it matters if you use it on and off again just so long as you don't use it too much later on. I wouldn't use it for a website that is older than 6 months personally.

I will tell you, anytime I start a new WP website be it a blog, webstore, etc. I always do the boosting packages. I only use them the first few months. It has been awhile since I have done this, maybe the last time was 2019? So I am not sure if it helps or hinders a site these days but I know when I did it, it always helped boost traffic and rank my better on Google - At least in the early days. You have to put in the work to keep the growth going or it just disappears.

Best marketing decision? Replying to every comment for six months. Built relationships that became referrals.
