Search Traffic Or Social Traffic | Where’s The Gold?

This article is guested post by Andy.

What is your goal with an online business? Are you doing all this work so you will be famous or are you interested in making money online? This basic question is usually skipped over by most online entrepreneurs. Why? Because most of the “Gurus” who are selling information are worried about their profit not yours. They tell you to Stumble and Digg and comment on blogs and you will get rich if you buy their $97 ebook on how to get social traffic.

The fact is social traffic is terrible if you are trying to make money online. They hardly buy anything and, like all other businesses, you have to sell products or information in order to have a successful online business. This means you solve a problem or fill a want and the customer pays you. End of story; go get another customer. The only way money is made online is if a need is filled and money changes hands.

To make a sale you must have a customer with a problem to solve. Think about what you do when you have a problem. Do you Stumble around and Digg around for an answer? No. You search in Google or one of the other search engines for a website that will provide the solution. You don’t just surf around to see what everybody else is doing you find the product and if it is at a reasonable price you buy it. Why? Because you were in a buying mode to fulfill your need.

Social traffic on the other hand is usually comprised of people just looking around. They may be slightly interested in a product or service but they really aren’t trying to solve the problem right now. The social person might start looking for a solution but they are quickly side tracked to finding out about Lindsay’s latest antics or who got voted off of Idol. In the mean time they don’t buy a thing. You can get a lot of social traffic and have a lot of people visit your blog but if they are not in a buying mood you won’t make any money.

If you want to attract buyers to your blog or website concentrate on search engine traffic. If you just want a bunch of visitors and a huge RSS list go after the social traffic. There is nothing wrong with social traffic you just won’t make any money when they come over for a visit.

More and more people getting their information and other requirements online so it only makes sense for businesses to use the internet as a marketing tool.

The internet can be one of the most efficient and cheapest ways to promote your company and products.

Print advertising is one of the most expensive advertising media available to businesses. Print media includes newspapers, magazines, phone books and journals. Because of the increasing costs of print media production, print advertising fees can be exorbitant. TV and radio advertising can reach a wider audience but just like print advertising broadcast media advertising fees are expensive.

With the Internet, promoting a business can be done for a shoe-string budget. Aside from cost-efficiency, one advantage of online advertising is that there many creative and efficient ways to advertise online. The Internet is much more flexible tool than print or even broadcast media. Aside from static ads, you can create active ads with sounds, motions, etc. You can also have links and create interactive advertising features. There are many creative ways to highlight your products online and they are often much more affordable than creating advertising for TV.

There are also a number of cost-efficient ways to advertise online. One method is to sign up for a cost-per-click scheme which means you only pay for every valid click to your ad or your link. With this scheme, you don't have to pay for the ad placement unless someone actually finds an interest on your ad and clicks on it.

The most important reason why businesses should consider using the internet as a marketing tool is because it is here to stay. In the next few years, millions more will get connected to the internet, it will become an even bigger force and many more people will look and find what they need online. The internet has allowed people to communicate instantaneously to anybody around the world and it has changed the way people got their information.

It has even changed the way people shopped. It will continually change the way people lead their lives in the coming years. The internet is continually breaking barriers everyday. In the future, it will become an even more essential part of people's lives so it's only sensible for companies to utilize this modern communication tool to their advantage. With the internet anyone can reach anybody from anywhere practically for free.

A small home-based company can reach a potential business partner, a client, a supplier who lives half-way around the world. There are no technologies available yet that has the same reach as the internet. Whereas before it would cost an arm and a leg to communicate with someone from another continent, now it is has become affordable. Aside from the distance, the internet also allows entrepreneurs to reach more people for less money.
