There are a lot of research has been made about Traffic. You might have a Good looking Blog or website; but without traffic it is live-less. Moreover; if you want to monetize your Blog, then it is very crucial to have lots of traffics who will buy your product or click on your ads.
There are two types of Traffic or visitors available in Online. One is Targeted Traffic who will come to your site by searching something on Search Engines (Google, Yahoo or Bing) and other one is Social Traffic who will come to your site from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Bookmarking websites, directory or any other links.
Now a question is raised that – what kind of visitors I should target to?
I have already introduced a lot of Bloggers. I have already discussed about this Social vs. Targeted traffic facts with lots of Bloggers & webmasters who are making money by Adsense or Affiliation.
Most of the time, I have got a little answer; which is – “Targeted Visitors from Search Engines is better”.
But, why? Why the visitors coming from Google or Other search engines are better for making money?
Why One Shouldn’t Target The Social Traffic?
Well, there is an example for you. Suppose you use Google Adsense on your Blog or Website for making money. You want your Google Advertisement be clicked by the visitors, right?
Google Ads is such type of ads which are very relevant to the content of your Blog post; and this is why a visitor click on those ads to explore more information about the topics they are seeking.
Now, suppose the visitors just have come from Twitter or Facebook by following your links. He follows the links because he is enthusiast about your or your link. Before seeing your link he wasn’t thinking about your website, right? Even, he is not in any trouble and he needn’t have any more information from your site. Then, he will bounce from your blog, because he already has finished his curiosity about the link you provided on Facebook or Twitter where he came from.
Most importantly; the people who are using Twitter & Facebook they are tech-related people and well-aware of Google Adsense and Affiliate Links. Very few of them will buy your product or click on your ads.
Why One Should Target The Search Engine Traffic?
There is an example which is about the Targeted Traffic generation profit. Imagine you don’t know how to make a Blog. Now what will you do? Will you go to Facebook or Twitter or any other social marketing sites to find the process about –“How to make a Blog?”
No…..Never. You will definitely go to Google or any other Search Engines to search how to make a Blog. And as you are in trouble about making a Blog; you will click on the relevant ads on the above or below the post if you need more information about Blog making.
Research said: the social visitors click on your ads…..but it’s very few as compared to targeted visitors.
This is the real and logical method that most of the successful bloggers are following.
So, to me, the Targeted Traffic is best for your Online Money Making journey. Now my suggestion is that- don’t rush to social websites for traffic……be relay on Google. And the visitors comes from Google will be very beneficial for your Blog. There is nothing is this world which can give you more visitors than Google.
