Web Site Traffic - What is Web Site Traffic?
By: Keries

When I first started Internet Marketing people were talking about web site traffic and I thought what are they talking about? Now I associate traffic with the number of vehicles that travels on our roads so it didn’t take long for me to figure out that web site traffic meant people visiting your web site or blog. With no traffic it’s like having an ice cream store in the desert. You’ve got the product right as people like cold ice creams in the desert but the problem is that very few people live in or visit most deserts. Hence no traffic.

Same with your web site you may have a great product but no sales. Why no sales because no ones know that you sell such a great product or in same cases don’t even know your product exists. Your web site in virtually lost in cyberspace with millions of others. Now with a regular store in a shopping mall or in a shopping precinct you can attract customers or traffic by appropriate signage or even waving a red flag. Problem is you can also do these things with your web site in the form of great graphics but unless someone actually finds your web site by accident they are not going to even see your graphics.

What about search engines and all their spiders you ask? Most new people would not know what you meant by spiders, as they are creatures that crawl around in the dark, scare and sometimes bite you. Not too sure I can imagine spiders being creatures in cyberspace scaring me or worse still biting me. Then again some people “get bitten by the internet bug”. So what are these spiders? Top secret if you ask Google or any of the other search engines. I’m sure they really don’t want us to know they even exist. My understanding of them is a script or code that spreads itself though out the web searching for content to list when someone searches for particular keywords. Guess what it needs to find your web site too – not too many spiders like venturing into the desert. So it looks for web sites with lots of traffic first and I afraid the ones with none rate very poorly or in same cases not at all.

So I guess we have a “Catch 22” situation we need traffic to get traffic so no traffic means no traffic. Or does it?
