On freelance platforms like Fiverr and Upwork, you've likely seen traffic services priced at $5 to $10, promising "100-200 daily visits for 30 consecutive days." Many people wonder: where does this traffic come from? Can it actually lead to conversions? Today, we're going to break down the method behind this—how to quickly build a traffic business model using Torpedo software.
This article isn't encouraging you to make money through fake traffic. Instead, it aims to help you understand the principles of this type of traffic, avoid being scammed, and utilize it for testing, verifying tools, or learning technical skills. If you plan to use it for genuine commercial promotion, remember to combine it with real traffic acquisition channels; otherwise, relying solely on this traffic won't bring tangible conversions.
Torpedo is a traffic simulation tool. Its core function is to send automated access requests to a specified website through proxy nodes, creating the illusion of "traffic." It has a simple user interface and a low barrier to operation, making it a tool of choice for many who sell traffic.
Of course, this traffic isn't from real users. It merely leaves a record in website analytics tools like Google Analytics. Therefore, using it for "brushing orders" or deceiving clients is not only unethical but may also violate platform rules.
To simulate traffic with Torpedo, it only takes three steps: Download Software → Prepare Proxies → Import Configuration File. Let's break them down one by one.
Visit the official Dr. Fararar website to search for and download Torpedo. The installation process is like any other software; just click "Next" to complete. The software itself doesn't have complex settings. The key lies in the subsequent configuration import.
This is the core of simulating traffic from different regions. Proxies act like "disguises," making your requests appear to come from various countries like the United States, Japan, or South Korea.
Recommended proxy platforms have the following characteristics:
If you plan to use it long-term, you can purchase 300 proxies at once, with a monthly cost of around $4-5. This will allow you to generate traffic from multiple regions, making the visit data appear more realistic.
To avoid errors for beginners, you can use ready-made configuration files (in .xml format). These files contain the core parameters required for operation, such as visit frequency, duration, page jump settings, etc.
Import Method:
This step saves you a significant amount of debugging time and is ideal for users who want to get started quickly.
After installing the software and proxies, you'll move to the crucial configuration stage. Although there are ready-made files, you'll still need to make some adjustments based on your needs.
First, delete the default URLs in the configuration file and replace them with your own website or your client's website. If you don't have a website temporarily, you can try:
Find the "Geo Location" option in the software; this is where you add your proxies. Click the three dots icon, select your proxy file (usually in .txt format), and then check "Enable."
Important notes:
Once configured, click the "Start" button, and the software begins working. You'll see the traffic numbers gradually increase, for example, from 35 → 47 → 100+, very rapidly.
At this point, you can open Google Analytics or other traffic statistics tools to observe if the data is being recorded. Typically, changes will be visible within minutes.
While we don't recommend deceiving clients with fake traffic, Torpedo still has legitimate uses in certain scenarios.
If you are developing websites, apps, or traffic analytics tools and need to simulate high traffic to verify functionality, Torpedo is a good choice. It can quickly generate visit data, helping you test server capacity or ensure tracking codes are working correctly.
For those looking to understand proxy IPs, traffic source recognition, and anti-detection mechanisms, Torpedo serves as a practical educational tool. Through it, you can understand how traffic is generated, logged, and identified.
If you plan to sell traffic services on Fiverr or Upwork, be sure to inform your clients that this traffic does not come from real users. While this might generate short-term income, your account could be banned if platforms discover it.
In practical operation, many people encounter common issues. Here are a few practical solutions.
In Torpedo's settings panel, you can adjust parameters like visit frequency and duration. Smaller values lead to faster traffic generation but are also more easily detected as abnormal. It's recommended to adjust gradually during testing to find a balance.
This is usually due to proxy expiration or network fluctuations. It's advisable to update your proxy list regularly and use stable paid proxy services rather than free ones.
Not recommended. This traffic won't bring real conversions and won't help improve your SEO rankings. If you want to conduct real promotions, consider using Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or other legitimate channels.
Torpedo is a simple and easy-to-use traffic simulation tool. Paired with proxy services, you can quickly generate a large volume of visit data. However, remember that this traffic is merely "numbers" and does not equate to real users.
If you are using it for learning, testing, or technical research, Torpedo can help you understand the principles of traffic generation. If you intend to make money from it, be sure to clearly explain the nature of the traffic to your clients to avoid disputes.
Truly sustainable businesses rely on providing genuine value—real traffic, real services, and real solutions.
