Add a new Campaign

Traffic Buddy allows you to create customized traffic campaigns to generate realistic visitor behavior for your website . Here's a detailed guide on how to set up a new campaign using the different configuration tabs.

General Settings Tab

The General Settings tab contains the basic configuration options for your traffic campaign. Here you'll define the campaign's core parameters that determine its identity and scale.

Campaign ID

• An automatically generated unique identifier for your campaign

• Used for tracking and referencing your campaign within Traffic Buddy

Campaign Name

• Enter a descriptive name for your campaign

• Example: "Summer Sale Landing Page Traffic" or "Product Page Testing"

Maximum Concurrent Browsers

• Defines how many browser instances can run simultaneously

• Each browser instance simulates one unique visitor

• Valid range: 1 to 1000 browsers

• Higher numbers generate more concurrent traffic but require more system resources

• Recommended: Start with a lower number and increase gradually based on your system's performance

📝 Note: Consider your system resources when setting concurrent browsers and maximum views. Higher numbers may require more powerful hardware.

Maximum Total Views

• Sets the total number of page views the campaign will generate

• Campaign stops automatically when this number is reached

• Example: Setting this to 1000 means the campaign will stop after generating 1000 page views

Maximum Views per Hour

• Sets the total number of page views the campaign will generate per hour

• The campaign will be paused when this number has been reached

• The campaign will be started on the next hour

Maximum Views per Day

• Sets the total number of page views the campaign will generate per day

• The campaign will be paused when this number has been reached

• The campaign will be started on the next day

Traffic Origin Tab

The Traffic Origin Tab allows you to configure how visitors appear to arrive at your website. You can simulate different traffic sources that reflect realistic user behavior patterns.

You can configure multiple referrer sources that Traffic Buddy will cycle through during the campaign.

1. Direct Traffic

• Simulates visitors who type your URL directly into their browser

• No referrer information is sent

• Represents users who have bookmarked your site or received the link through messaging apps

2. Search Engine Traffic

• Simulates visitors coming from search engine results

• Includes the search keyword in the referrer data

• Simulates visitors coming from specific websites

• Enter one URL per line

• Format: https://www.example.com

• Useful for simulating:

  • Social media traffic

  • Partner website referrals

Managing Multiple Referrers

• Add as many referrers as needed using the "Add Referrer" button

• Traffic Buddy will cycle through all enabled referrers sequentially

• Each new simulated visitor will use the next referrer in the cycle

• Use drag-and-drop to prioritize referrer order

📝 Note: At least one traffic source must be configured for the campaign to start.

⚠️ Important: Ensure your custom URLs are properly formatted and accessible to avoid campaign errors.

💡 Tip: Mix different referrer types to create more realistic traffic patterns.
