Website Traffic: How to Order
Every HQLikes website traffic service takes your page link in the Link box. Some services also let you choose a country, a keyword, a referrer or a niche, which you add to the same box. This page shows the exact format for each one, how to track your visits, and the country codes.
1. Link formats
Use the format named in the service description. A correct format starts right away. A wrong format is checked by hand and usually runs within 8–12 hours, but it can be cancelled instead. Custom referrer orders with a missing or wrong referrer are always cancelled. An order stuck in "Processing" usually means the link format is wrong.
| The service says | Type this in the Link box | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Plain link | Your full page link, including https://. Do not add a country or keyword. | https://yoursite.com |
| Choose country | Link, a colon, then the country code | https://yoursite.com:US |
| Keyword | Link, then your keyword in < > | https://yoursite.com<running shoes> |
| Choose country + keyword | Link, colon, country code, then keyword in < > | https://yoursite.com:US<running shoes> |
| Custom referrer | Link, colon, country code (or WW for worldwide), then the referrer site in < > | https://yoursite.com:US<facebook.com> |
| Niche | Link, then the niche number in < > | https://yoursite.com<3> |
| Choose country + niche | Link, colon, country code, then niche number in < > | https://yoursite.com:US<3> |
| South Korea keyword (Naver Shopping, Kakao) | Link, a colon, then your keyword. No country code and no < >. | https://yoursite.com:keyword |
- The country code, keyword or niche always goes at the very end, after the full page path:
https://yoursite.com/blog/post:US - No spaces around the colon or the country code. Type the < and > signs yourself.
WWworks only on custom referrer services.- A cutt.ly link works in place of your page link in every format except on GA4 services (there, use your direct page link so Google Analytics 4 can label the channel), for example
https://cutt.ly/abc123:US<running shoes>. See Tracking your visits.
2. Keywords
- Keywords are optional on services whose description says so. With a keyword, visits are sent for that keyword. Without one, they arrive as plain organic visits.
- No keyword? Leave out the whole <…> part, for example
https://yoursite.com:US. Don't type empty <>. - On search services the keyword is a search phrase. On shopping services it is a product or shop search.
- Search sources follow your country, so each market gets its own local search engines.
3. Custom referrer
- Format:
https://yoursite.com:US<facebook.com>. Your site gets visits from the USA showing facebook.com as the referrer. - For worldwide visits use
WW:https://yoursite.com:WW<facebook.com> - A missing or wrong country code sends worldwide visits.
- A missing or wrong referrer cancels the order.
4. Niche numbers
| Number | Niche |
|---|---|
1 | News, media and blogs |
2 | Gambling, betting and casino |
3 | Crypto |
4 | Adult |
5 | Health, diet and fitness (including weight loss, pharma, CBD) |
5. Services with an order form
A few services (Custom Visits) are set up with boxes on the order form instead of codes in the link. Put only your page link (or cutt.ly link) in the Link box, then fill in:
- Country: the 2-letter code from the country list, e.g.
US. UseGBfor the United Kingdom. - Device: Desktop, Mobile (Android), Mobile (iOS), Mixed (Mobile) or Mixed (Mobile & Desktop).
- Type of traffic: Google Keyword (fill in the Google Keyword box), Custom Referrer (fill in the Referring URL box, e.g.
https://instagram.com) or Blank Referrer (no referrer — visits show as Direct traffic). Fill in only the box for the type you pick. - Do not add a country code, keyword or referrer to the link on these services.
6. Tracking your visits
- GA4 services: order with your direct page link, not a short link, so Google Analytics 4 can label the channel — check the results in GA4 after 24–48 hours.
- All other services: make a cutt.ly link before you order. Create a free cutt.ly short link to your page and use it in the Link box. Delivery questions are checked against the cutt.ly report, so a Google Analytics screenshot alone can't be used for a delivery claim. You can't add tracking after the order starts.
- If you also use Google Analytics, make sure it is installed on the page you order for, and check the "language" report to confirm the country.
- The "Remains" number on your order updates with a delay of about 6 hours.
- For any question about delivery, open a ticket with your order ID and your cutt.ly report.
7. Good to know
- We over-deliver. Up to about 20% of visits can come from countries you did not choose, so we send extra to make up for it. If the visits from your chosen country still come up short, open a ticket and we top up the rest.
- Country check: on some services the country is matched by the visitor's device location and language settings, so a few visits can show another location. Your analytics "language" report shows the audience is right.
- Speed depends on the country on country-targeted services: up to 10,000–20,000+ visits a day for the USA, but only 100–200 a day for small or rare countries. Each service description shows its own speed.
- Cold traffic: visitors have no prior interest in your site, and redirected visits can have a medium to high bounce rate. Website traffic raises visit numbers and visibility; it does not promise sales, sign-ups, ad clicks, likes or follows.
- AdSense: take care ordering traffic for pages that run AdSense. A low click rate can raise flags on an AdSense account, and we can't guarantee AdSense safety.
- Cancel: on services with cancel, the button asks the system to cancel or part-cancel. Once a campaign is running it may not be possible to stop it.
- Drip-feed: quantity per run × number of runs, with the gap in minutes. Example: quantity 200, runs 5, interval 1440 minutes (24 h) = 200 visits a day for 5 days (1,000 in total).
- Not allowed: illegal or harmful websites. Some adult services are for adult websites only — check the service description.
8. Country codes
Use the 2-letter code. Write GB for the United Kingdom (not UK). Available countries change from time to time.
Countries marked * are available on most country-targeted services but not on the iPhone and Android device services. Not sure? Open a ticket before you order and we'll confirm.
