Generating Website Traffic

No matter what type of website you own, getting real visitors to view your web pages is of paramount importance. Google is increasingly putting more importance on how popular your web site is. With Microsoft’s push of it’s ‘new’ search engine Bing, Google is changing it’s algorithms in response.
No one is quite sure yet exactly what is being changed, but one thing is certain, website traffic matters! It seems as though for the moment, your Google rankings can change day to day based on the amount of traffic your website receives. I’ve seen it first hand and have been logging experiments with some of my less important, personal websites.
The bottom line seems to be the more traffic, the better. So, whether you buy hits or surf for hits in exchange for people viewing your website, it appears prudent to start driving ANY traffic to your website, qualified or not. No, you won’t see sales from advertising your website on so-called traffic exchange websites, but you will reap the rewards from the added visitors to your site. The difference I’ve found can mean being number 8 for a given search term, vs. being number 3. That’s a huge gap considering the conversions of browsers of your services to actual clients.
In conclusion, when launching a website, backlinks are great and so is unique content. But if you intend to prove to Google that you’re a worthwhile website, you needs gobs of traffic!

Thank you very much for that great article
Thank you for this valuable post. It changed my way
I agree, I feel like you need a TON of traffic to get a great reading on google, somthing you really have to work hard at. I have noticed that Bing’s search engine is so different than google, I can’t figure out how it is searching through data. I am about to do some testing to see what I find.
I wrote a good article once about getting a lot of immediate traffic to your website. A good way to start is using sites like Twitter and Yahoo! Answers and start socially.
