What is Website Traffic?

Website Traffic

The amount of visitors and page views on a website. Traffic can come from many different sources. It can come from the search engines or directories where you or your SEO sent your site information or from other websites where you exchanged links with or even linked to your site because of the quality your site's content. It could also have come from free or paid advertisements or simply from people who saw the website address written on your business card.... or maybe all of the above.

Regardless of where your traffic is coming from or how many visitors you site gets, quality visitors is of vital importance. If, for example, your website sells shoes and the people who visit your site are looking for motorcycles, you won't sell any shoes even if your website receives a million visitors per day.

Using the correct key phrases to attract the right visitors can mean the difference between having a successful site or not. For this reason it is a good idea to learn as many facts about marketing in the Internet as possible.

Obtaining information about how much traffic you are getting per day, even per hour, is very important in order to be able to know how your marketing campaign is doing and to be able to fix and compensate for the "holes" in it.

Many servers have integrated in them a program that saves a lot of important information about your visitors (statistics). Some servers, however, disable this program in order to save disk space and use it to rent more disk space for other websites. If you rent space for your website in one of these servers, you should either change servers or buy a program that downloads your website logs information and resolves them into easy to understand information.

This program, integrated in the server or your own, provides a lot useful information about your visitors. It will give you the amount of visitors per month, week, day, and even per hour. It will tell you whether they are unique visitors or recurring ones, from which search engine, directory or website they came from, from which side of the world and region they are coming, what pages did these visitors visited in your website, what browser are they using, etc. This program will even put all the statistics into colorful graphics. All this information in the hands of the SEO can make a website marketing campaign a lot more efficient.

Your business depends on traffic, and without it you have no business. That's why is so important to monitor your traffic.
