What is website traffic?


Website traffic or web traffic is the amount of visitors that come to your website via search engine result page. When user types the query, the result page presents the results of links that you can click. Once you click on one link, you create traffic for that website.  

The result in Google page result for instance, has two types; organic result and paid result. Organic result is the list of result that is gained naturally without payment to Google. Whereas paid result is usually in the forms of Google Adwords.

A website can monitor the traffic stream to know which country view the most and which page is the favorable one. Knowing these incoming and out coming streams can be vital factors to determine your business decision.

How do you create free website traffic ?
1.      Free and original content
Originality is important in increasing website traffic. For Ebusiness website, having huge traffic simply means getting more profits. Readers usually stick around for awhile to know if the website provides relevant information for their need. If they like an article, there is a possibility that they will read another one. Search engines respect original contents by taking them to a better page rank. Conversely, if Google finds out you duplicate other contents, then you will be penalized.

You should write information that is readable by humans- which is something that word processor software can’t do. Of course, word processor software allows you to spin one article into 5 or 10 more. But if those sentences make no sense, users won’t go through the rest.

You may have fast instant website traffic by posting content from other sites, but original content makes your website long lasting.

Provide free source articles in your website. Users will love something useful and free! Just be sure you write high quality contents.

2.      Fresh content
Every website must be updated regularly. Users of 2011 won’t find any relevancy in reading your 2008 content. If you don’t have the time to update frequently, then providing long-lasting information will do just fine. For instance, ’10 inspiration of logo design’. Even if you never do any update, the inspiration is still valuable for the next term.

If you feel that writing content is a time consuming, you can start hiring article writers. These writers are paid based on the agreement you make. It may cost you few dollars, but it’s worth the traffic.
