A term you hear about a lot is ‘Targeted website traffic’ -. Most people understand the concept and know what it means. Some people actually strive for it and some don’t.
Plainly, with targeted website traffic, your site has a chance to make some money and there’s a slight chance you might be able to make a living of the internet. Without targeted website traffic however, your site is doomed to die a slow death until it quietly fades away into the dust like so many thousands of others.
If you search on any of the major search engines for ’traffic’ you will get mostly websites regarding automobile traffic, traffic reports, road conditions, road works, etc.
If you search on any of the major search engines for the term ‘website traffic’ you will get mostly websites regarding traffic exchanges, stat counters, web searches, page optimization, how to build a website, etc.
If you search on any of the search engines for the term ‘targeted website traffic’ you will finally get the picture of what it’s all about – making money online. That’s why you are here, why you have a website and why you are reading this post in the first place.
Targeted Website Traffic is King
This may be stating the obvious but without sufficient targeted website traffic to your website nothing will happen – no sales, no rankings, no popularity, nothing. You need targeted traffic in order to generate sales, provide leads, gather email addresses and create advertising exposure.
So many good things happen when one can actually tap into the targeted website traffic market that it’s difficult to name them all. Here are a few examples of what I’m talking about:
* Links
More targeted traffic leads come from links to similar websites than any other source. These can be either links to your website, Adsense links, press releases, blogs, or any other form of advertising that gets your website in front of other people’s eyes.
* Sales
Yes your ultimate objective, sales is what you are after. Only targeted traffic will get you the sales you need to stay in business on the internet.
* Free Advertising
As the search engines pick up on your increasing number of visitors, especially if they come from related linking websites, your rankings will hopefully rise and your PageRank will increase. Having your site on the first three pages of any major search engine is optimum exposure for your site and will bring in customers ‘off the street’, as it were. That’s Free Advertising.
* Even More Links
Another benefit to your rise in the search engine rankings, and your rising PageRank, will be your ability to be inundated with link requests from every other website imaginable. Remember, stick with only those that relate to your own site. Again, free advertising.
It’s one thing to get your website noticed by the search engines but it’s quite another to get your website noticed by the buying public. Just because you have great links, great positioning in the major search engines, and great links will not produce sales.
So, how can you become successful where most of the others have failed? What is the silver bullet key to making all these sales that everyone is talking about? Well….
The (proverbial) Silver Bullet
Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Take a deep breath, and just remember this one simple fact of internet life: The website makes the sales, not you, not your links, not your search engine presence, not even your friends or comrades whom you sent to check out your site’ Unless your site screams out to the world, ‘B-U-Y M-Y P-R-O-D-U-C-T !’, you will not make enough money to buy even one month’s worth of service.
You can buy, grab, obtain, link, and get all the targeted website traffic in the world but it will not sell a single product and/or service unless your website is compelling to do the selling. Design is one thing, content is another and, please remember content is everything. It makes the search engine robots and spiders visit your site on a daily basis, it makes visitors want to buy, bookmark, or return for a future purchase, and it makes one think, ‘Do I really need this product and/or service?
Constantly remind yourself, ‘Design and content, design and content…’, over and over. Plus, once your website is complete, it isn’t. A proper website is always refining itself and a good webmaster knows this. The search engine robots and spider love new content so a little change here or there will make a huge splash with them as they cruise your site on a daily basis.

I agree with you with what you said about targeted website is a “King”.
Targeted traffic is website traffic that is based on categories that helps in capturing the needed audience and it is a science in itself. Targeted website is attracting visitors who are genuinely interested in the site and really spend time on the site and buy things.
