Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose 5StarHits.com over other web traffic services?
Many other traffic services send very poor traffic. In fact, if you use their service, most users will NEVER SEE YOUR SITE! This is because most services use tricks to load your page without ever being seen. At 5StarHits.com, we send real people who actually see your site and offer you many traffic options to suite your individual needs. We want you to be successful, so you’ll come back

Where does your traffic come from?
Most sites on the Internet are associated with a domain name, like Yahoo.com and 5StarHits.com for example. Domain names are not actually purchased. Rather, companies pay an annual fee to register a domain name. Usually, this fee is between $9 and $30, depending on various circumstances. When a company no longer wants a domain name, they can simply abandon it by not paying the annual fee. After a name is abandoned, the company is given a grace period during which they can re-attain the name (usually 60-90 days). After the grace period, anybody can register the name. We find and register high-traffic abandoned names using our proprietary in-house software. Once we own the name, we simply point it to our servers and from there we redirect the traffic to your site. This results in high-quality “clean” traffic that is NOT initially generated using SPAM, adult sites or excessive popup windows. We sometimes use other methods to generate traffic as well, but abandoned domains generate the bulk of our traffic.

What is a "unique visitor"? Is this the same as a hit?
A unique visit is counted when someone views a web page without pressing reload on his or her browser. Further, the person cannot have visited that page for a while. Unique visits are also known as "sessions." A hit is not necessarily a unique visit. Technically, a hit occurs whenever a file is loaded... when you loaded this page, you generate quite a few hits - one for each image you loaded and one for the page itself. In common usage, people are referring to unique visits when they talk about hits. 5StarHits.com COUNTS UNIQUE VISITS, NOT HITS.

How long will it take to get my visitors?
When you purchase a package, we will work with you to schedule a start date for your program. After that start date, visitors will come in to your site. Some days you may get more visitors than others, but we guarantee that you will get the number of visitors promised within a month.

Do you generate visitors using SPAM or other unscrupulous or annoying methods?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! The visitors we deliver are legitimate. We never send out mass emails, or post to newsgroups. We don't trick you by paying users to visit your site either. The visits come from real users who ACTUALLY SEE YOUR SITE.

Do you place any restrictions on the content of my website?
Your site must be legal in the United States. Sorry, but we cannot send traffic to sites which promote hate, violence, child pornography, warez or illegal activities.

Does 5StarHits.com offer a statistics area for me to track my campaigns progress?
Yes - all campaigns come with FREE LIVE STATS so you can keep track of our progress during your campaign!

Do you offer a guarantee?
Absolutely! If you don't get the number of visitors you purchased within 30 days, we will refund your money on a pro-rata basis (e.g. if we only manage to send 50% of the visitors, we will refund 50% of your money). However, this has NEVER HAPPENED... indeed, we usually OVER DELIVER! Click here to view our guarantee.
