Search Engine Traffic

Search Engine Free TrafficMost of us don’t bother about search engine traffic anymore these days since the existence of social networking services like Myspace, Friendster, Facebook, Digg, Stumbleupon, Yahoo Buzz, Entrecard, Blogcatalog, Mybloglog, etc. Of course, the traffic at social networks sites rules the world of Internet. If a webmaster who don’t utilize this social traffic to their clients, then he or she might face a lot of hardship to achieve their target traffic that they need to provide to their customer.

Getting a decent amount of traffic from social networks is easy. With Entrecard itself, some are getting more than 500 visits a day. We are not talking about other methods like Buzz, Digg, Facebook, etc here. If anyone can utilize all the social network section, they might even get Alexa 4 figure ranking. But, maintaining a good response with other social network sites take a lot of time. We need to add more friends, increase our visibility and take part in various networking sections.

At the end, we might fully depend on this traffic and totally forget about search engine traffic. Search engine traffic brings in more targeted traffic compared to social networking traffics. People are looking for some “keywords” in search engine a will dig deeper until they get the answer they want. This is the potential traffic for our business. So, if you are looking for serious traffic and good buyers for your website, you need to look in to SEO (Search engine optimization) for your business.

There are so many ways to bring up our site in top 10 or top 3 ranking in search results. But, getting this top spot is not an easy task. It might take a lot of time for continuous SEO methods to push our link up in the search engine results. For example, if your website is selling “watch”, there are 24+ million searches done in October 2008 on this keyword in google. Imagine of getting the top 3 spots for this keyword, your website might be getting hundreds of thousands visits each day. No other social networks can get you this traffic.

Hope you are clear about the importance of SEO for your business website or blog. Having a million dollar website with 10 years of advance technology applied in your website programs for your visitors, but you have not done any SEO for it, then this million dollar website investment might be equivalent to dead a site. Of course, nobody wants that to happen for their investment. If you are not making any good visitors, customers or money from your website, then it is better to start your SEO engine for it.

    however, social network sites can be a way of having an initial traffic prior to ranking to search engines. it is helpful specially if you’re site is new.
