Pay per usage
The web pages you want to visit and drive traffic to. In SERP mode, you can also specify a custom search query per URL (e.g. {"url": "https://...", "serpQuery": "dog breeds chart"}).
Choose how to drive traffic: • Simulated Referral (Recommended & 100% Reliable): Navigates directly to your target URLs with authentic HTTP Referer headers (Google Organic Search, Bing, Social, Reddit, Medium). Classified as Organic Search in GA4 and ad networks. • Google SERP: Attempts live Google search on google.com and clicks the organic result (requires clean residential proxies; falls back fast to direct visit with Google referrer if Google drops connection). • Backlink Traffic: Navigates to a physical source page (e.g. Medium, Reddit, LinkedIn) and clicks your link. • Direct Traffic: Clean direct visit without any referrer header.
Only used when Traffic Source is 'Simulated Referral Traffic'. Choose a pool of high-authority referrers to rotate, or choose 'Custom' to enter specific URLs.
Enter one or more custom referrer URLs (comma or newline separated). E.g. your Medium post: https://medium.com/@username/post-slug. When specified, sessions will simulate arriving from these pages without ever hitting their servers.
Only used in Google SERP mode when a URL does not have its own specific query. Leave blank to automatically search 'site:{targetUrl}'. Or enter custom keywords (e.g. 'Dog Breeds Chart' or 'site:dailydogguide.com').
Enter individual Google search queries for your URLs (one per line). Line 1 applies to URL 1, Line 2 to URL 2, etc. Alternatively, format each line as: URL | Query (e.g. https://site.com/puppy | 'Puppy Training Schedule' site:site.com).
If disabled (recommended for pure organic SERP traffic packages), sessions that hit Google CAPTCHAs or fail to find the organic link will be retried with fresh proxies or failed, ensuring you deliver only 100% genuine Google SERP clicks. If enabled, it falls back to a direct visit with a Google referrer header.
How many times to retry a Google SERP session on CAPTCHA or timeout before marking it as failed. Separate from 'Max Retries' (network errors). Default: 3. Increase for stubborn proxies; lower to save proxy bandwidth on difficult IPs.
Only used when Traffic Source is 'Backlink Traffic'. Enter the URL of the external page (e.g. Medium, Reddit, LinkedIn, forum post) where your link is published. The Actor will open this page first and click the link to reach your Target URL.
The visible text of your link on the backlink page (e.g. 'Read More' or 'Dog Breeds Chart'). If left empty, the Actor automatically finds and clicks any link pointing to your Target URL.
Choose the browser and device profile to emulate. Matches viewport, touch events, platform headers, and user-agent strings.
Leave empty to use the realistic device profiles above. Or paste an exact custom User-Agent string to override.
Minimum seconds to spend interacting and reading the landing page.
Maximum seconds to spend on the landing page. A random duration between min and max is chosen per session for organic variance.
Human-like scroll pauses, reverses slightly (reading behavior), and moves the mouse cursor randomly.
How many internal pages deep to explore per session (e.g. 1-3). Increases session duration and reduces bounce rate in analytics.
Minimum dwell time spent reading each visited internal page.
Maximum dwell time spent on each internal page.
Total number of visits to deliver across all target URLs (e.g. 500, 1000, 5000). The Actor distributes visits evenly and interleaved across your URLs. If set, this overrides 'Repeat Visits (per URL)'.
Number of browser sessions per URL. Only used if 'Total Target Visits' is not set.
Number of browser sessions running in parallel (Default: 1, Max: 5). SERP mode automatically caps at 2-3 to protect against proxy bans and container memory limits.
Hard limit for the entire Actor run. Increase for large traffic orders (e.g. 3600 for 1h, 86400 for 24h). Remaining sessions are skipped if reached.
Times to retry on transient network errors.
Proxy settings. Supports Apify Datacenter/Residential proxies or your own Custom Proxies (e.g. Bright Data, Smartproxy, Webshare, Oxylabs). • For 'Simulated Referral Traffic', datacenter proxies or no proxy work 100% reliably. • For live Google SERP, clean dedicated/private residential proxies are recommended to prevent Google dropping the connection.
