Paid Traffic – Better Business Sense

There are many success stories about businesses making it good using the internet. The troubling thing is, there are a hundredfold or more of stories contradictory to theirs. Many have unsuccessfully launched a business enterprise that is internet based but only a handful have succeeded. Is this through luck or something even more remote? It takes good business sense and a lot of help and team effort. Most importantly, it is the eagerness to succeed, the determination to learn, and the willingness to invest in your business.

The Very Basics

Like Neo, traffic is ‘The One’. Without traffic, all your effort would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without them, you wouldn’t have anyone to sell your products or offer your services to. In the internet world traffic is the walk-in customer. The more traffic you have the more people you would be able to sell your products and services to. But like any business that’s in every corner building or in the mall, not everyone that goes in will buy, but the greater the number that do come in to browse your merchandise, the greater the number of people that will buy your products. It is a simple and known fact. But, how do you get traffic, traffic large enough and targeted enough that could make a small percentage of eventual buyers enough to make a good profit. Many big companies generate traffic of tens of thousands a day in order to generate ten to fifteen percent of visitors that actually buy, but that small percentage is enough to provide them with good business.

Many of these success stories get their traffic from paid advertising. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money to make money. Advertising is the key. The more people that know that your site exists; the more people that would potentially visit your site, that’s just numbers. While there are many ways to get advertising for free, they do not tend to generate the same volume of traffic as paid methods generally do. Paid advertising methods can include advertising schemes by Google, Facebook, YouTube, Bing along with many others.

The Value of Searches

The search will be the easiest and fastest medium in finding what people need online. Search engines are very popular because they provide a vital service to its users. They are free and relatively easy to use. With this popularity, they get many visitors using their platforms in order to find the most relevant sites that contain the most valuable information that they are looking for. It is easy to understand why so many companies would pay to advertise with the search engines. Search engines provide information to the millions of users that use their platforms each and every day. They provide links to what they consider to be the most relevant and valuable information that the user is looking for. If your web pages show up in the top rankings of the search results, you are generally rewarded with a higher volume of visitors to your site. While search engine optimization is a highly valued approach to getting your site pages better rankings, paying for advertising tends to be a far more direct and manageable medium for generating targeted traffic. When you pay for advertising, it’s essentially paying for your traffic. This may not sound like much of a good idea at first, but the payoffs tend to tell a different story. Generally speaking, when you pay for targeted traffic using conversion-optimized advertising, you are guaranteed a consistent flow of traffic to your site. And once you optimize your ads for high conversions, you will never go with an empty sales day.

Paying for your Traffic

Usually, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets when your ads are clicked, this is called pay per click. For some search engines, you will be charged with the number of times your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is imperative that you have targeted keyword content in your ad and that your add delivers the message that resonates with your target audience. The money you invest in paying for your traffic will not be for naught. When done correctly, paid advertising can generate an impressive boost in traffic which also tends to result in a profitable boost in your sales figures.
