How Not to Explode Your Website Traffic

Traffic is the bread and butter of any website or blog. Without traffic you cannot create revenue and you will end up being the only person visiting. There are many different ways to build traffic, but what people tend to over look is that any real and legitimate traffic building ways takes time. You normally won't do something traffic related and see 2000 people show up to your page.

Some of the good ways to advertise includes:

Writing articles Pay per Click (PPC) or your link or banner on a popular website/blog

On the other hand there are many bad ways to try to get traffic. One of the worst ways is using auto surf traffic exchange. I don't like to make assumptions on anything so I tried a few of them out. The most I've tried all work the same way. You sign up add your website/blog/banner to your account and start surfing.

You have to look at other peoples pages for a set amount of time that varies depending on which auto surf you use. Generally its 15-30 seconds you have to look at a page before you get credit. Every time you look at someone else's page and get credit, that means that let's say you have 50 credits, and then they will show your page to 50 people usually.

This sounds great but what you have to remember is you are there to get free traffic to your page and so is everyone else there. Most are trying to get a sale and unless you have a really great site, no one is staying there any longer than they have to. They will be moving on to the next page to get more credits to advertising their site. And there are two types' auto surf and manual surf.

They both mean exactly that. You have to wait the specified time then manually click to the next webpage. Auto surf you can set it and forget it, literally. You start it up and walk away or minimize the page and continue using your pc. Now think about that. If you are doing that, how many others are doing the same and how many are NOT looking at your website?
