More About Paid Traffic

Paid traffic can bring you thousands or millions of hits in 24 hours. Most of these hits visit your website for a second or two and then boom they are gone. Targeted traffic can bring you customers that are already interested in what you to offer they stay longer because they want what you are selling. You will therefore get more sales and make more money with targeted traffic.

The premiere paid traffic source is Google’s Adwords, as well as Yahoo’s and MSN’s versions of the same thing. You pay Google for each visitor to your site. Google publishes your ad on hundreds of other sites and sends anyone who clicks on those ads to your site. You pay Google for the traffic at a rate of 5 cents a click to 5 dollars ( or more) a click depending on the popularity of the keywords and what other competitors are willing to bid. You have to know what you are doing or it will eat your lunch. A simple description of the process is in no way enough information for you to make money. You need some serious training before you waste your money. As you will see many places on this site, I recommend Wealthy Affiliate Community as the premiere place to study and learn from the best. They are focused almost exclusively on making Adwords work for affiliates.

There are other companies that you can go to too buy traffic these can cost as little as $10.00 to receive thousands of hits to your website overnight. The traffic you get however will probably leave right away. This is because they were probably forced to your website somehow. Your website content was probably totally different than the content the person was looking at already. Paid traffic can sometimes increase your webpage rank. But, lately search engines have been able to detect things like this and penalize the website rank. Some websites have reported going from a Google page rank of 4 or 5 and got dropped down to 1 or 2. Google has a 1-10 website rank system they use to measure websites popularity (10 being the best).

Paid traffic has had its day in my opinion as a means of aiding your web site. New search engines like Google and Yahoo are programmed to catch these kinds of boosts in traffic. Most websites are penalized the next time Google page ranks are released. Some pages get pulled from the first few pages in search engines. There have even been complaints of websites going from the first page to the last page in searches. I therefore don’t recommend paying for any kind of traffic.

Targeted traffic is the best way to drive motivated “I want to spend my money on your web site kind of traffic” to your website. You have to advertise to targeted audiences. Audiences that are already interested and willing to buy your product. This way, all they need to do is visit your website and your marketing techniques extract every penny in there pocket.

It is so important that you concentrate on making every visitor to your website stay and look around. That’s what targeted traffic usually does when they visit your website. Think about it; if you were interested in buying a chainsaw and found a good chainsaw website through a tree work website you were already visiting, you might be more willing to buy a chainsaw than someone who was on a food website and got forwarded to a chainsaw website.

Targeted traffic can be a long road to success. It’s not easy because it takes a lot of time. You have to write articles, post in forums, social marketplaces, and social networks, tell family and friends, write blogs, anything that will get your business out there. You need to tell everyone possible that you have a website. Plant that seed and don’t give up. You can even hire someone or a company to bring you targeted traffic. After all, it is a lot of work.

Webpage rank has become very important to a lot of website owners. It can actually drive your webpage way up in value if the webpage rank is high. But you have to do it the right way to see real results. The right way to bring targeted traffic to your website could take 3-6 months of a huge marketing campaign.

In my opinion targeted traffic is vastly superior to paid traffic every time. Yes with paid traffic you can get thousands of hits but that one night can penalize your webpage rank for good. Targeted traffic however can take you 6 months to build up and can drive your sales in ever increasing numbers forever.

They say good things come to those who wait. Or you can jump ahead of the others and buy a site ready optimised with a complete team of experienced Internet entrepreneurs ready to get you the traffic to make you seriously wealthy.
