Not all traffic is good traffic. How can that be? Just because you have lots of traffic does not mean you will increase the number of sales. Your objective in creating traffic is to attract targeted traffic, which will in turn, bring you more paying customers. You can have a lot of traffic coming to your website, but if they are not "BUYING" anything or interested in your product or service, what good is it to your blog or site?

If you do a search on the Internet for ways to increase traffic to your site, you will find websites that sell software or monthly membership packages that guarantee to bring traffic to your site. Don't be tricked by these costly schemes. There are numerous ways you can increase traffic to your site or blog for free. In other words, you don't have to spend a fortune.

What these companies don't mention is that one of the methods they use to drive traffic to your site is paying people to "surf" the Internet. People log into a website, enter a password and their computer will automatically "surf the net", displaying a variety of websites. But, the person that logged in isn't even paying any attention to the screen - or looking at it. The company you paid may be driving "traffic" to your site in terms of visitors, but their that surfing because they get paid. So they won't be buying anything or spending a cent..

It may sound like a contradiction, but promoting free items can also bring in bad traffic. Yes, you may attract more visitors, but a lot of those people just want a "freebie". They might not be interested in your services or products you provide, and once they get that "freebie", they may never return to your site again. It doesn't mean you should never offer free items - they can definitely help boost sales in many situations, such as a "buy this ebook and get this free special guide" offer.

Trading links and banner exchanges may sound good in theory, but again, if targeted traffic isn't coming in, your sales won't be affected. But keep in mind, traffic doesn't mean sales. If you have a site related to babies, it doesn't make sense to trade links with a site related to sport fishing.

Always keep your target market in mind. Who is your audience? Why should they visit your site? H aving fresh, critical, timely, and informative content will attract quality traffic. Once people come to know your site as a source of quality and enlightening information, they will return when they need to learn something new. The more valuable traffic that comes in, the more customers you will get.

Stay clear from phony websites offering promises of high numbers of traffic. You need use proven methods of generating quality traffic because you will not only boost your site's traffic, you will also boost your conversion rates.
