3. Module 1 Traffic Methods

Here are the key points:

  • Web traffic refers to the number of visitors to a website. More traffic is desired, unlike vehicle traffic.
  • Web traffic helps measure a website’s popularity and performance. Other metrics like time on site and conversion rate also matter now.
  • Three main traffic categories:
    • Social media traffic: Visitors that click from social media sites
    • Search engine/organic traffic: Visitors from search engines like Google
    • Paid advertising traffic: Visitors that click on ads
  • Search engine traffic is free but hard to rank highly in organic results. SEO helps websites rank higher.
  • Paid traffic like PPC ads ensures more visibility and clicks but comes at a cost per click. Popular paid ad networks include Facebook, Google, and YouTube.
  • Tracking traffic sources and optimizing them is key to improving the volume and quality of site visitors. Driving the right traffic that converts is the ultimate goal.
