Website Traffic ?

[Sprinkler Buddy]

If a website starts getting a lot of direct traffic all of a sudden, does Google and other search engines tend to send even more traffic because of the increase in direct traffic?

Folks coming to your site by searching your URL, is what I mean by direct traffic. Spending time on the site as well not just pinging it.

I don't think Google would be so easily fooled to allow direct traffic to increase a sites ranking in search results - it might have a little effect but Google always stresses that there are many factors which improve ranking so I would focus on the more established and long lasting SEO methods.

I'm not trying to fool Google, I'm doing some direct mail marketing in a high target area. If it works I'll be doing much more in targeted areas. It doesn't matter how good my SEO is because not many know my kind of product exist much less know to search for it online. I have excellent page ranking now on my key words but still have little traffic.

My biggest target areas have products for the same purpose as mine in every hardware box store around. They don't think of looking online for something better.

The benifits of direct mail marketing can be good because if you left your URL in the email, the person will go directly to your website. If they like what they see...etc they will bookmark/tell there friends...etc

If your traffic is way better doing direct mail marketing then focus hard on that besides SEO. What ever is generating your the most revenue and clicks on your website, i'd stick with that marketing plan. This just my opinion.

Offline marketing is something not all webmasters do for there business.

I don't think Google will send some traffic to your website due to a large volume of direct traffic.

I don't believe email marketing would work for me. Personally, I delete the spam e-mails without even looking at them as most do.

I do realize most of my post cards being mailed will also find its way to the trash without being looked at to much. With that said, I still believe my chances of catching the attention of a potential customer is still far better with the physical mail being it's targeted. My message is loud and clear and many won't be able to ignore it completely like they would an e-mail I believe.

Paying for traffic, complete waste of money in my opinion. I don't believe it can reach my target. It would only create a high bounce rate and do more harm than good long term.

Time will tell, fingers are crossed. Lol

As many of you know there is no such thing as cheap advertising other than the word of mouth. Hopefully, once I start getting my message out on a larger scale the word of mouth will spread likewise.

I agreed with Snakeair if they people likes your stuff and they share it and all its better than seo, and search as you will get natural back links this way.. if someone makes it, not relaying on Google and getting Traffic can make you really strong and if a website has good amount of traffic google ranks it better to as much as i have experienced..!

Email marketing is good if you know your targeting area.

There is difference between traffic -- visitor and client. I think its better to have less client then lots of fake traffic.

No. The traffic from search engines depends on the quality of the SEO you built for your website. You can receive 500,000+ visitors per months from social websites like Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc... But ONLY 100 visitors from google. So, better pay a closer attention to your SEO!

Its important to get real traffic...real visitors.... and potential client who can buy your service or product instead of just fake visitors. So SEO is most important.

Sometimes websites get loads of direct visitors because the site has been mentioned on local news, or in a magazine etc, and as a one off Google would take no notice of short term changes.

However, if the increase in visitors was maintained over time, then Google would take that into consideration. Google already checks the age of a site, the age of pages, when they were last updated etc. Changes over time are far more important than one-off short term changes.

Traffic is little fact for Ranking, but it is big fact for your website and business, after all these are for only traffic.

Wait, what? I've seen some individual blog posts that have gained that much traffic and have reached the top spot for certain keywords. The thing about traffic is the fact that the people could link to you if what you've shown on your website is something that's worth sharing or linking to.

traffic comes from visitors of your website. google will give you more page ranking from relevant keywords and quality of your backlinks.

It will drive huge traffic to your site but it won’t give you any other benefit. If you want to increase traffic on your site you try social bookmarking and if you want to increasing you organic traffic try to get some good backlinks from your niche.

[akasheg]

For natural listings no your traffic doesn't affect your rankings in the natural search in PPC it does. The sites getting more clicks are promoted higher the order. But not for natural listings.

Agree with you on email marketing stuff, most of us also do the same. We delete all the mails consisting of ads and spam and also mark them as spam. So I'm not really sure how effective is email marketing. But why don't you invest that money for SEO like hire a good firm to do SEO for you, it pays off well. Or you can go for PPC.
