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.
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
Read-only field
Used for tracking and referencing your campaign within Traffic Buddy
Campaign Name
Enter a descriptive name for your campaign
This name helps you identify your campaign in the campaign list
Example: "Summer Sale Landing Page Traffic" or "Product Page Testing"
Must be unique within your Traffic Buddy campaigns
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
Maximum Number of Website 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
📝 Note: Consider your system resources when setting concurrent browsers and maximum views. Higher numbers may require more powerful hardware.
⚠️ Important: Changes to these settings cannot be made while the campaign is running. Stop the campaign first to modify these parameters.
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
Toggle: Enable/Disable direct traffic
2. Search Engine Traffic
Simulates visitors coming from search engine results
Includes the search keyword in the referrer data
Configuration fields:
Search Engine (e.g., Google, Bing)
Search Keyword(s)
Example: A visitor searching "best running shoes" on Google
3. Custom URL Referrers
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
Blog post references
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.
In this tab, you configure the sequence of actions that each simulated visitor will perform. Actions are executed in order from top to bottom, creating realistic user behavior patterns.
⭐ 1. Primary Action: Visit URL
[REQUIRED] This is the fundamental action that must be included in your campaign.
Initiates the primary navigation to your target website
Must be the first action in your sequence
Without this action, the browser cannot reach your target URL
Format: https://www.yourwebsite.com
Wait / Delay
Simulates a user spending time on a page
Configuration:
Duration: Set time in seconds
Random variation: Optional +/- seconds for natural behavior
Example: Wait 30 seconds (±5 seconds) to simulate reading content
3. Visit Random Link
Automatically finds and clicks a random link on the current page
Configuration:
Wait time: How long to stay on the resulting page
Optional: Link pattern filtering
Simulates natural website exploration
4. Click Element
Performs targeted clicks on specific page elements
Configuration:
Selector type: CSS or JavaScript
Element selector: Enter the specific selector
Wait time after click
Example selectors:
CSS: #submit-button or .nav-link
JavaScript:.class-name
📝 Note: Always start with the Visit URL action as your first step.
⚠️ Important: Actions are executed sequentially. Ensure proper wait times between actions for realistic behavior.
💡 Tip: Combine different actions to create natural-looking user journeys through your website.
The Browser Settings Tab contains essential configuration options that control how the browser instances behave during your traffic campaign.
Hide Browser Windows
Toggle ON/OFF (Enabled by default)
When enabled: Browsers run in the background without visible windows
When disabled: Browser windows are visible on screen
Use cases for disabling:
Debugging campaign behavior
Monitoring visitor actions in real-time
Testing new action sequences
Use Proxy Servers
Toggle ON/OFF
When enabled: Traffic is routed through proxy servers
Helps distribute traffic across different IP addresses
Useful for:
Avoiding IP-based rate limiting
Creating more realistic traffic patterns
Testing geo-specific content
⚠️When enabled proxy servers need to be configured (see Proxy Settings)
Browser Timeout
Specifies maximum time (in seconds) for browser operations
Default: 120 seconds
Applies to:
Page loading
Navigation between pages
If timeout is reached, browser instance continues with next action
📝 Note: Lower timeout values may cause premature action termination on slower websites or with slow proxy servers.
⚠️ Important: When running many concurrent browsers, keeping the "Hide Browser Windows" option enabled is recommended for better performance.
💡 Tip: Start with default settings and adjust based on your specific needs and system capabilities.
