If you’re getting 30,000 LinkedIn views per week, here’s the hard truth:
?? Key Breakdown:
1. Estimated Bot Traffic (Low-End): ~10–20% (i.e., 3,000–6,000 views) ? Typical for most active profiles.
2. Estimated Bot Traffic (High-End for Growth Hackers, Viral Posts, or Comment Engagement Tools): ~25–40% (i.e., 7,500–12,000 views) ?? If you use automation tools, viral engagement pods, or post during bot-active windows.
3. Signals That Your Views Are Likely Inflated by Bots:
- Sudden spikes without new content.
- Reactions but no comments (especially on value-heavy posts).
- Engagement from anonymous profiles or people with few connections.
- Your audience geography being suspicious (e.g., lots of Tier 3 countries out of nowhere).
?? Real Talk:
- LinkedIn doesn’t clean up all the bot traffic — especially those disguised as engagement tools.
- If you're using any automation (e.g., Waalaxy, PhantomBuster, Dripify), you're likely drawing bot attention.
- Tools like Shield or Taplio don’t show the real human-only views.
? What to Do About It:
- Focus on comments, DMs, and qualified leads — they tell you what's real.
- Use CTR tracking on links (Bitly, UTM) to validate how many views convert into action.
- Monitor geo + role data of viewers — you want decision-makers, not bot armies.
