Organic Traffic: Why is it Important?

Posted at 11th March 2009 · Filed in Blogging Tips

When I discuss about traffic, I will always refer to organic traffic. One of my traffic goal for all my blogs is to reach 80% of the traffic coming from search engines.

Some of the comments I received, said that:

  • It’s difficult to depend on organic traffic alone
    It’s never easy. You have to repeat … repeat and repeat. Even if you are only using one strategy to get traffic. Repeat it everyday until it becomes a habit. Once it becomes a habit, will it be difficult?
  • Using traffic exchange is easier to get traffic.
    The easiest, but will the visitors pay any attention to your posts or will they be visiting for the traffic credit? Another things is, Google doesn’t like traffic exchange. A good way when you are starting to promote your new blog, but not suitable for the long run.

Why is organic traffic important?
Because they come here to get the info they wanted. If that post happens to be a review of something that link to a ClickBank product, you are already 50% successful. If you have Adsense ads, you will make money if they click on the relevant ads.

    Organic traffic people need something and you want to fill that need. You can also turn organic into return readers.

    I have almost 80% organic traffic. I don’t prefer that high as I still need loyal readers to visit my blog.

    almost 80% of my blog traffic is because of referral sites. :(

    @The Blogger Source
    That’s one of the reason i always target organic feed. filling the needs.

    @Budeen
    still ok as long as you are getting it ;)

    |1f34|-|1r3
    for this one, it’s only 55%. although getting hire is better, you also need to watch out for the bounce rate. Dont let be too high, but it’s hard to control if the blog is still new. but … to discuss this alone, can take another 3 to 4 post :)

    @abdfatah
    dont lie :P

    @zaki
    if they are loyal, they should have subscribe to you already. like me, so no worries.

    mcm mana nak kira organic traffic ni eh ?

  10. azwan · March 12, 2009 @ 11:18 PM

    @denologis
    some people like it that way. i prefer from the search engines. if i can provide them with the info, i gain.

  11. azwan · March 12, 2009 @ 11:22 PM

    @Knizam
    semua traffic yang datang dari search engines. kalau kau guna google analytics, semua info ada disitu.

  12. alone · March 14, 2009 @ 8:57 PM

    susah juga nak dapat traffic organic ni.

    hm.. ya.. google xsukakan lin exchange dan boleh effect pr.

    maksudnya keyword yang digunakan kenalah relevan dan menepati trend semasa.

  13. KNizam · March 17, 2009 @ 12:13 AM

    owh aku tak guna google analytics. patutla tak tahu. ehe :)

  14. affuan · March 17, 2009 @ 8:01 PM

    baja organik itu sesuai untuk projek fertigasi. :P

  15. azwan · March 17, 2009 @ 11:35 PM

    @Alone
    tapi aku rasanya, link exchange walaupun reciprocal ada kesannya.

    @Knizam
    ha.., kena install lah, senang aje. WP Plugins pun ada untuk analytics

    @Affuan
    kan aku dah kata, semuanya yang organik itu bagus … eish… gelilah tengok muka kau yg pompuan tu.

    since i’ve become anonymous for the past weeks, nearly all my traffic came from search engine, through the psp keyword i stated previously…

    if there weren’t any post about psp, i think my alexa rank should be many2 millions by now..haha

  20. azwan · April 11, 2009 @ 3:35 PM

    @Spatt
    ha.ha.. i have not fully optimized my psp posts, wanted to do so but i prefer to do that in another blog. btw, will request for a link exchange since one of your blog is in the same theme as mine.

  21. spatt · April 12, 2009 @ 3:33 AM

    sure thing!but which one? :)
