Topic: E-Marketing

Anyone Know Adprotect.net Or Click Validate.com?

Hi guys,

I have a competitor who is getting 40% of their traffic from these three domains. I believe these domains have something to do with malware/adware. But I was wondering how they're getting traffic distributed from these domains. Are they buying traffic from them?

I would be extremely thankful if someone could shed me some light on this.
Thanks

    Which "these domains" are we talking about here? Which niche? Serving what market? Offering what solutions? What you believe about malware is one thing, what you know is another. What do you know?

    Hi Gary,

    Domains that I'm referring to are adprotect.net and trafficsecure.com. I don't find any information online on these domains, but I did see people considered them as malware.

    Here are links to the ownership details of each domain.

    https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=trafficsecure.com

    You may want to look at other key words that these sites are not competing for, then optimize your landing pages for those terms.
