    Visits from Human visitors.... It is easy to get visits from bots but that won't help your business.. If you have spent time building your links (or spent money for PPC) then you would get actual visitors who can make you some money...

    Cheers,

    Depends on what you're selling there, because of the way product purchase works.

    The first half-dozen times your visitor sees a particular product, service, or ad, the chance of conversion goes up a little each time. Then it plunges down to just about zero and stays there.

    So ideally, you want each unique visitor to see each thing you're selling about a half-dozen times. If you have the same offers all the time, you need a constant supply of fresh visitors who haven't seen it yet.

    But if you turn over your products and services quickly enough, and keep the number of offers displayed down to a dull roar, you can keep the same visitors through hundreds or thousands of page views.

    It's all about what you want to spend your time and energy doing. Do you want to use it providing new offers, or attracting new eyeballs? Which one can you do better?

    "The Golden Town is the Golden Town no longer. They have sold their pillars for brass and their temples for money, they have made coins out of their golden doors. It is become a dark town full of trouble, there is no ease in its streets, beauty has left it and the old songs are gone." - Lord Dunsany, The Messengers

    Of course human visitors, and lots of them, and not just bots, because real visitors are what matters the most both in earnings and raising the value of the website.
