<b>Traffic over domain metrics: the regulars agree</b>

<b>Traffic over domain metrics: the regulars agree</b>

A rare moment of consensus this week.
—
Worth a read: an agency post arguing organic traffic to the specific host page beats any domain-level score, because traffic implies the page is trusted and crawled often.
—
Also circulating: a Reddit thread where buyers shared that their best-performing inserts all sat on pages pulling steady search traffic, regardless of domain rating.
—
A forum tip: ask the seller for the host page's traffic, not the domain's — and watch how fast they dodge.
—
Counterpoint: a reply noted traffic tools undercount, so a "zero traffic" page may still get a trickle.

Editor's note: domain metrics are inflated and gamed; page traffic is harder to fake.

Pick of the week: requiring page-level traffic data. The dodge itself is a signal.
