Affiliate Marketing For All

Today I want to discuss about traffic, what kind of traffic types there exists and how to get them. It is very important to understand those facts in order to get only highly targeted traffic. You need to know how to differentiate “junk” traffic from golden traffic. So first thing is to recognize traffic types and I will explain you what I mean with them.

I categorize traffic to following types:

• Junk traffic
• Normal traffic
• Targeted traffic

Let’s start with junk traffic.

Junk traffic

Definition of junk traffic is following – “Junk traffic is traffic that comes from any kind of resource that is not related to your site”. This means that it doesn’t matter what kind of traffic resource it is but as long as it is not related to topic or subject of your site then that kind of traffic is not good. As far as I has experienced one source of junk traffic is those sites where you can buy for example 10 000 visitors for 10$.

Now we have to questionize those kinds of sites. First of all we need to know that do they deliver real human traffic meaning that are there real people who are viewing our site or not? Answer for this is yes but this is not the common problem. Another question is this traffic targeted or not? Obviously it is not and this is the biggest problem.

My advice is that you would stay out of those kinds of sites and save your money for better purpose.

Normal traffic

With normal traffic I mean that it is traffic where there are somehow people that are interested on your site topic or subject and rest is not much interested. This kind of traffic can be got for example from directory sites where you have submitted your site into. Another example is if you have a blog and you have ping addresses that pings your blog you will get lots of people into your site but are they all interested in what you offer? Probably not unless you have some super content that is must read.

This traffic is what I say is okay. However this is not the best traffic that we want to get to our site, right?

Targeted traffic

This is the golden nugget that we want to get. Targeted traffic is so obvious that it does not require explanation or does it? Well here it goes for newbies. Targeted traffic in its simplicity means traffic that is related to your site.

Because targeted traffic is very vital to your site as you guess it is also most difficult to get. There are lots of methods how you can get them but those methods either are free and requires lots of works or they are paid and can be done easily. With free method I mean SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This means to optimize your site to search engines meaning that search engines can find your site based on what people are searching for.

With paid method I mean for example Google Adwords. With Google Adwords you pay only when someone clicks on your ad.

Conclusion

When comes to traffic, of course we want to capture only traffic that is related to your site. Therefore it’s very vital to learn SEO especially if you don’t want to pay single dime on your traffic. However you need to remember that SEO is not short process and requires work to do and some strategies.

If you want to get highly targeted traffic fast and you have good budget, then I advise you to head into Google Adwords. But don’t go there and start campaign without having experience. Here is one warning sign that you need to remember. Google Adwords will suck all your money that you have invested into your campaigns UNLESS you know what to do.

There are lots of good guides about Adwords. Here some articles that I have wrote about PPC advertising, service that is used in those articles is Google Adwords. I highly recommend to check them to get at least some idea on Google Adwords.
