Web Traffic

Well, you can’t deny the amount of competition out in the virtual world! When it comes to internet marketing and search results, all sites want to have that dream location - the first page of Google or Yahoo’s search results. And why shouldn’t they? After all, everyone wants their hard work to pay off. To make this possible, you definitely need to have streaming web traffic.

Definition of Web Traffic You may have heard the word Web Traffic over and over from more experienced internet marketers, yet you still have no clue what it means (and maybe a little shy to ask). Well, without further ado, allow me to explain to you this gem of a term. Technically speaking, web traffic is the amount of data which is sent and received between a website and its visitors. In layman terms, web traffic is basically the amount of response your site may receive from the audience. Web traffic decides how popular your site is. As a result, your popularity will decide your location on search engines.

Determinants of Popularity So, who or what gets to say whether your website is popular or not? The recognition your site gets is dependant upon a few factors. Here are some of the most important ones you should consider: • Visitors: The number of people visiting you really matters. The more people you have stopping by, the more likely you are to be known in the internet medium, and the better chances you will have of being caught by search engines. • Pages Visited: The more pages people visit on your webpage, the more visible you will be to the virtual world. The reason behind this is that a 6|Page

If a single user can do this much, imagine having fifty to sixty users flocking to your website to discover what it has to offer them. You’ll be an online star in no time. • Time Spent: Just as the number of pages users measures your popularity, the period of time they spend also is a major deal. If an internet user likes your content, he/she will definitely spend more time on each page before recommending it to someone else. Then, viola, word of mouth (which, ironically, is written) will travel all over cyberspace. • Most Requested Pages: If you had set a unique service on a certain page, you can expect many visitors to be hitting that page, thus adding to your popularity. • Referrers: A referrer is the website which will lead its own visitors to your page. If your referrers are usually popular with internet users, then some of their traffic will be directed to you.
