COMPARISON BETWEEN SEO TRAFFIC
GENERATION AND BLOGGING REPLICA TRAFFIC
GENERATION TECHNIQUES
Did you know that
blogging is a more effective and
efficient technique for traffic
generation than SEO. Is SEO traffic
generation technique better than the
blogging technique, or it doesn’t
matter?
The answer to that
question is dependent on you and your
likes: traditional websites or blogs and
is also dependent on the reason why you
require traffic. There is no need to
make this distinction as any individual
who is serious about online marketing
will use both the methods. You will not
face a situation where you have to
choose one between these two. However,
there is a healthy discussion going on
as to which of these techniques is
better purely for academic reasons. This
discussion is interesting and worth a
look.
In reality, the kind of
traffic that you receive from a blog can
have completely different interests and
requirements than those who have come to
your site from a search engine such as
Yahoo or Google. Agreed that one can
reach blogs through search engines,
however if you are searching for
something with the intent of purchasing
it, you will not go to a blog.
For example, let’s assume
that you are searching for the best
price of golf balls; you would not go to
a blog, would you? However, if you
intended to discuss the benefits of golf
balls, you would have gone to a forum or
a blog. Today, blogs are becoming highly
interactive and hence it is becoming
more difficult to differentiate between
them.
With a blog, any product
or service can be promoted just like
with a website. But, the trend is that
people make direct purchases from
websites and look for information in a
blog. Thus, the traffic to a blog
consists of information seekers while
that of web site is both information
seekers and those wanting to purchase
some thing.
If you create a section
for blogs on your site, that page will
attract people who will be regular
visitors whereas those who have come
from search engines may not visit your
site regularly. If the latter do not
give their email addresses then most
probably they will not return to your
site again.
However, to answer the
question: Which traffic is better? The
answer would be: as long as both of them
are free, it does not matter which is
better because you need both types of
traffic to survive. However, you may
argue that since SEO traffic have
reached your site by using very specific
keywords, this type of traffic may be
more focused on buying the product than
the blog traffic. How much ever you
argue the bottom line is, no matter what
kind of traffic, it is up to you to
convert them to customers.
However, if you are not
able to impress the SEO traffic
immediately, it is unlikely that you
will get another chance to impress. But
with the blog traffic you will get many
chances since they will visit your site
regularly. Contact
