That’s a tough question which I have been asking for the past months. What is the purpose of getting more traffic for any particular website ? It all depends on the message being sold by the webmaster or the owner themselves. Some do it to generate awareness on the contents they are providing, some do so for the sake of marketing products or services so that they can make money out of it.

Scour the web today and you can find all kind of web contents : educational, instructional, marketing, soliciting services, hobbies and what-have-you. Some of these messages looks ridiculous to you but it can be useful for someone else somewhere in this world. In order to constantly attract others to visit your site, you must be able to append interesting Contents so that people will long to read it each time its posted.

There are many gurus out there who can teach you how to increase traffic to your website for Free or for a Fee ( via ebook sales that can be so extremely hyped up that it make you go on a impulse buying spree ). Naturally as a beginner in this industry, I do fell into their traps but, as time goes by, I will know whether they are authentic just by reading some of the claims they made on their really Long Sales Page.

As I explore how to make this website attractive enough to draw traffic, I also learnt that it is not as simple as claimed by many. The most important factor after all is still the Passion in what I am doing. Do I have what it takes to keep on modifying the contents that will eventually bring the crowds here ? Do I start to lose interest after months of inactivity or lack of subscribers ? As for me, I have learned not to be bother by these setbacks. I just keep adding articles like I am talking to my Internet friends on the web, Sooner or later, someone will like my site so much that they refer it to their friends or subscribers.

This whole situation is similar to Network Marketing whereby the going seems futile during the initial months but with perseverance and believe, the result will eventually be more sweeter than expected.

I am in the midst of exploring a Sub-Domain where I will focus on a Single topic : ” Becoming A Freelance Computer Service Support Specialist “. I am learning to generate those Web pages from Scratch and Appending informations relating to this subject matter. I believe that all my friends, relatives and customers whom I have known all these years will be able to visit it and learn a thing or two. If I prepare some informations daily for these web pages on a daily basis, I know I will have enough informations to write a book. Its whether I am willing to take that first step or not. Do wish me success

I also believed that if any informations provided by me are truthful and purposeful, there will be plenty of visitors out there who will constantly come back to my site to read all the new post.

My question has lately change to ” What Should I Do Now To Make My Site Effective Enough To Increase The Traffic I Want ? ”

In today’s society, a large percentage of students and working adults are computer literate. They use a computer for projects or work-related functions in one way or another. As the society becomes more affluent, more people are relying on computer to solve their daily needs.

You can practically do anything on the web as long as you have a computer with a broadband feature that links you to the world. People are shopping, trading, gambling, studying, stealing, sabotaging and doing all sorts of activities via the net.

Naturally, there is also a group of people who are scouring the web for opportunities to make money. Some of them are so naive that they believe that money can be made vulgarly in just a few days or weeks. They are easily misled by the over-hype Sales Article that these webmasters have posted on their websites. They are usually the earlier victim who part with their money unnecessarily and after a short period of time, screaming that Internet Marketing business is not feasible, or a scam or not-doable ( does it sound familiar ? just like those who comment about the MLM or Networking business )

There is also another group of people who thinks that just by starting a blog ( which you can do for FREE ) and selling some high priced advertising space to rich companies is enough to make them rich.

Yes, blogging is big on the Internet at the moment but you won’t be making millions by starting your own blog. Blogging is a tool that is used by many very successful Internet marketers but it is not a business per se. There are a few blogs that are owned and operated by people who are famous or infamous that make money selling advertising space.

You must always ask this question: “What do the owner gain out of this offer ?”  You can be pretty sure that they are doing it for their own benefit and they are not going to make you rich. They are selling something that will makes money for themselves !

The marketing hype is so great that they make you think that you can turn your blog into a “money-making machine”.

Do you know how many blog sites are there on the Internet? I can’t but my guess its almost 300 millions !

Do you think that it is easy to get any Huge multimillion corporations to pay you for advertising space on your unknown blog ?  Fact: You aren’t going to make much selling advertising space on your blog site.

You could still make some money to continue doing what you’re doing but you need to understand that succeeding in the world of Internet commerce isn’t going to happen overnight. It takes a lot of your time, effort and energy to make it a success, just like a normal MLM or Network Marketing business.

Of course, there are plenty of “con-men” out there that will try to convince you that there are shortcuts that will make you successful and wealthy overnight. They are lying!

My advise though is to start something, like having a blog or website like this, so that you can explore what could be done to generate some surplus income for your rainy day. It’s not going to be easy but then it’s not too difficult either if only you take that first step to try it out.

There are also many legitimate webmasters out there who are trying to help you, as a result it will help themselves too, but you have to be brave enough to venture into that unknown frontier that might lead you to some form of income generating schemes.
