Why blog traffic?

I have something to say and it's about bloggers who are usually nothing but concerned over their blog traffic.

No, I'm no sour grapes to see that my own blog traffic is nothing fantastic, neither am I going to rain on peoples parade; and I'm definitely do not mean any hard feelings either.

It has become some sort of skin deep Attention Deficit Disorder. Bloggers look at their hit counters and number of comments a few times a day. That's all the comments today? *Hit refresh*. Only one more? *Hit refresh*

With the number of increasing blogs and rapid pings, some of us do start to worry..."Oh no..I haven't anything to blog about....think dammit, Think!"

Sometimes and now I wonder, if that some of us are letting our blogs get away with the very best of us and leaving us to sit by the monitor hitting our own refresh buttons.

I know I'm going to get swatted by some people for sure.

I take it as a personal challenge. Crack the brains, squeeze the juices and see if the traffic increases. It makes blogging fun that way.

Increasing website traffic is a challenging job. :)

Because most of all bloggers are secretly attention whores. Nyahar!

Sometimes having too much traffic is also a pain - especially when you're trying to keep your blog away from prying eyes.

But on good way to increase traffic from my own experience is to surf other people's blogs and leave comments on a regular basis.

Alternatively, short cut? Write about something sensational and ping it. ;)

april yim I've tried an awful lot of ways to drive consistent, quality traffic to my web sites and hands down in terms of both sales and quick turnaround, If you are even remotely interested in internet marketing you need this internet marketing tool. Now because of the results is brings me, I never let mine expire. I grab the traffic and then simply list five of my favorite affiliate programs to drive traffic to and presto! Right now I'm averaging about $345. a day as a result of this. And the really amazing thing is it only took me I'd say about three minutes to set up and no more than 30 seconds to renew my traffic when I get an email telling me it is about to expire. Enjoyed your "this post" post. Oh, and by the way april yim, internet marketing is all about sharing things that work so I would appreciate it if you could post things here that you've found to really deliver.

internet marketing always allows me to drive lots of traffic to my web sites. Having tested and tried literally hundreds of traffic generation methods, I have not found anything that delivers more consistent, quality people to my web sites who buy. I rake in an average of $345. a day simply by plugging five of my favorite affiliate programs into this excellent traffic source and then simply making sure my traffic never expires. Let's face it, everyone is interested in internet marketing" and I know if the blog readers here just try this one, they will be very pleased. Enjoyed your post april yim.

Hi april yim,
I was just passing looking for Guaranteed Search Engine Traffic links on the blogger site and found your this post blog. Your blog was not quite what I was looking for, but I enjoyed my visit all the same.
