Traffic in Internet Marketing is how many visitors that come to your website in a certain period of time. The bigger the traffic the better. Why ? because if you use ads program, such as Google AdSense, you will get money, if someone clicks your ads. So bigger traffic means bigger probability that your ads would be clicked.



We all know that Traffic = Money, I would like to hear something from you? How do you generate traffic? Which is more effective the paid or the unpaid one?

    Both are different factors Paid and unpaid. And from my opinion organic or unpaid Traffic is better than paid traffic. In ppc you would pay for every click and there is no chance every click would be quality click.

    I also am one for unpaid traffic, though no traffic is completely free. Even if you avoid outsourcing or using paid methods, you still spend your time doing whatever is necessary to get traffic to your site. You can do this for a while, but it ends up being more profitable if you begin to at least outsource some of your SEO, backlinking, etc to get your sites to rise in the search engines while you work on researching and building new sites.

    I would go for organic or the unpaid traffic, it's far more better compared to the other.

    All the ways are good.But i prefer organic traffic from Google because this is permanent and very relevant to your site.No other source can give you traffic like this.

    I'm not sure why anyone would actually want to pay for traffic. However, sometimes people all are looking for advertisements at times. Say for example you're looking for an attorney. You might be more quick to click the Paid AD-Words at the top because you know those people are what you are looking for.

    But quite often I find companies in the paid listings and also repeated in the natural results. This is probably due to getting a boost from the AD-Words. So if you have the budget for it it's not a bad thing. really you just need to analyze your ROI to make a final decision

      Of course unpaid traffic is better than trade traffic but unpaid traffic is not inexhaustible so at one point or the other if you want to grow your business pass the limitation of your free traffic you have to supplement it with paid traffic.

    Organic traffic is always better than the paid one. You'd never get conversions on paid traffic but unpaid traffic does convert for you.
