The Type of Traffic You Get Can Determines Your Earning

The fact that you are getting tons of traffic but still not earning should tell you something about where you are getting your traffic.

People can direct you or tell you how to get traffic like they do but they may not be promoting to the same target group as you unless you are selling similar things. So, the traffic you get may be completely useless.

A Simple Web Traffic Checklist

Content may be king but it won’t pay the bills if it doesn’t draw the traffic that is targeted and with money to spend. So I would like to add that the right type of traffic is king. And you can take that to the bank.

We all know or at least have heard about link exchanges working to get you more traffic, well I disagree, the wrong type of traffic may as well be no traffic.

I also don’t care for reciprocal linking. I don’t think Google cares for it either, it really just says you scratch my back and I will scratch yours and Google and other search engines know this so they don’t seem to give much credit to those type of links.

I do on the other hand love one way links from relevant sites. I tend to use three way links to get around the reciprocal linking strategy.

I don’t take as much time as I probably should using link directories, but I try to add my sites to a new one every month.

If you think about it there are hundreds of link directories that will give you a one way link back to your web site and it’s a great way to keep or increase your pagerank.

My favorite traffic is the organic search engine results from keywords I use on my sites. For those that are not familiar with organic search results they are the results you see after doing a search on any given phrase, that are not sponsored.

Sadly I don’t get as much organic search results as I would like on my blogs but I am getting better at picking the words I use.

Payperclick advertising is a great way to make money online but it’s also the perfect way to lose the money you spend without getting a return on your investment. You really need to know what you are doing to benefit from PPC advertising.

I use my Squidoo lenses to generate traffic to my other web sites. The traffic I get from my Squidoo lenses is pretty much all target traffic.

Commenting on other blogs with relevant and new content so you get the attention of that blogger and their readers. Never leave a small unrelated comment like, great post, as it just makes you look dumb.

Frequent forums that are related to your content. Create a signature file pointing to a relevant site and then start taking part on that forum. When others see that you are adding to the conversation with useful comments they will want to look at your website.

Oh yeah, keep posting great content to your sites so they grow.
