What is Private Traffic?

Private traffic is frequently discussed in the context of social e-commerce platforms’ popularity. Monetizing of public traffic pools becomes difficult in the competitive e-commerce environment.

Furthermore, private traffic is valuable to consumers because it gives them intimacy with the brand.
