Guaranteed earnings are a red flag

Traffic sellers cannot honestly guarantee your profit because they do not control your offer, page or economics.

Vague traffic descriptions

If a seller cannot explain the general niche, geography or delivery model, you have less information to evaluate fit.

Pressure to buy large immediately

A reputable source should survive a controlled test.

No independent measurement

You should be able to use your own analytics or tracking.

Marketplace signals are not guarantees

Ratings and verification can reduce uncertainty but do not make diligence unnecessary.
