If you have a blog or a website, the biggest concern should be about the traffic to your blog or website after having impressive posts. Getting traffic is not that easy, but with good content, it becomes achievable. You need to do some work to get your blog traffic growing and with time it will happen. I have my blog with most of the traffic coming from Google, to be frank, I have never tried much to get more traffic or buying backlinks or any blackhat SEO methods. I have been following some SEO Tips which has resulted good for me. Your blog earning will always depend on the traffic of your blog, just not traffic but the quality of the traffic.
There are different ways a visitor may come to your blog or website like
- Search engines : Search engines like Google, Yahoo, Live are the best source of traffic for free. You need to rank well for potential keywords to get consistent traffic from search engines.
- Social media networking sites : Social Media Sites like Digg, Twitter, StumbleUpon, FaceBook are sources which can shoot up your traffic.
- Email link : A visitor can send your blog post URL to his friend to visit or read your post if its impressive.
- Direct traffic : Some loyal visitors who already know your blog URL may come to your blog by keying in your blog URL.
- News letters : Your news letter subscribers will come to your blog reading your newsletters
- Other blogs or website linked to your blog or we can call backlinks
- Banners or Advertisements : You can get traffic from different advertisements or banners.
- RSS Feeds : Feeds are very popular these days. Many read news or blog posts using different feed aggregators which are very easy to manage and read
As far as a webmaster or a blogger is concerned, the best traffic source is which gives some benefit to the blog or website. The quality of traffic can be determined by the following factors
- Time spent on the website
- Bounce rate
- Repeated visiting
- Bookmarking
- Subscribing to newsletters
- Subscribing to RSS feeds
- Post a backlink to the webpage or the blog
- Submitting the post to Social Media Sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Twitter, etc
- Sales or conversion if you have some products to be sold
- Ad revenue
Now coming to the topic of this post, the best source of traffic should be a source which gives you conversions, subscribers, loyal readers, backlinks, sales, Ad revenue etc.
In my opinion the best source of traffic should be Search engines for the following reasons
Consistent Traffic – If you have posts which lists on top of Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) then you will surely get tons of traffic if the key phrase or the keywords are popular or if its up in trends.
Less Bounce Rate – The bounce rate for the traffic coming from search engines are very low, reason being the visitor comes to your blog or web page searching for something through a search engine and gets what he was looking for.
Length or Depth of a visit – Usually traffic coming from search engines do spend lot of time on your blog visiting related posts or posts from the same category.
New Visitors – Usually the traffic from search engines will be new visitors and if you have a good blog or impressive posts, you get new visitors converted to loyal visitors or subscribers
Back Links- New visitors or search engine visitors could generate more back links or social media bookmarking. If you blog has your social networking links like Twitter, Digg, facebook or stumbleupon, you have high chances to get more followers or friends which can improve your presence on the World Wide Web.
