I recently stopped using google ads as I was getting about 10 site visitors per day from my search and shopping campaign but for every £3000 I spent I only made £400 profit and I noticed traffic from ads was only staying a few seconds. I was also getting about 10 spam marketing emails everyday which was driving me mad. Since I’ve stopped google ads the spam marketing emails have also stopped. This leads me to believe that loads of google traffic is bots. I’m first page google organic so I don’t feel I’m loosing that much. I also get the same with social media advertising, no real people just bots. My question is, is this to be expected or can I stop this happening if I want to advertise again in the future?
