What is website traffic?
This is the number of people who come and visit your website, which is essential for the success of monetizing your blog.To monetize your blog (make money blogging), you need to have traffic interested with your subject, so that your chances of your ads getting click is greater. Simple the more people who comes to your site the more people to see the ads and increase the probability of your ads being click. the goal is to get more clicks.
Obviously, there are a lot of other ways to increase website traffic.but here are some ways I tried and I will let you know how it worked for me.
- creating a blog at friendster and yahoo 360 hoping that google will crawl their site and discover me. It is also a great way to inform my social network about the blogs I'm posting.
- I posted some pictures at HGTV.Com and wrote my web address for anyone interested to see more pictures of houses. My pics was viewed 100 times in 1 day @ rate my space and I've receive comments from that site few minutes after I posted some pictures, and more comments coming few days after posting. So I will keep posting pictures there at least once a week to be always on top or recently uploaded pictures. It only takes 2 days to be kicked off on the top 10 pages of recently uploaded pictures on that site. So many pictures are being uploaded everyday although I can see there is heavy traffic on that site.
- Well the obvious way to be discover by google is submitting your website to search engines like msn, yahoo, google, and I used yahoo organic where I've seen some traffic coming from that site already.
- Provide your Sitemap to google here: www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
It can take time to get more traffic coming to your site. Be persistent though and it will pay off. You will see return on your efforts. Google has lots of blogs that are indexed, Google loves blog!Be consistent with your blogging and stick to it. Everyday is recommended. Find something you love to write about, writing articles can bring many benefits that is sure to benefit you. You can learn, you can express your self, its fun and this time has an added bonus of generating income while having fun.
so stay tuned and I will update you with the latest development about my website traffic.
by the way I already saw traffic coming from Germany but still trying to figure out how he finds my site. I'm still new with Google analytics so I still need to learn how to navigate it.
I'm also starting to see traffic coming from friendster and the good news is, I finally saw an index from google and yahoo about my website. But it was about my yahoo 360 profile where you can read about the website I'm creating. Not the best index but its a start.
Also yahoo organic has sent 5 views to each of my website, I'm still trying to remember where is the site for yahoo organic.
Google finally found this site. It took less than a week to be indexed by google.
Don't worry I will talk more about google analytics and how to use it on my next post.
