I am concerned about making money with blogs. I know, and i believe you do too, that an important factor is the (type) visitors to that come to website or blog. It seems, however, that traffic can be categorized to into two types (this is my opinion) targeted and untargeted traffic.
Let me start from the latter which as its name connotes is that category of visitors that might find their way to your site but are not intrested in, can not or will not contribute in any meaningful way to the purpose that you put up your site or blog for. These kind of visitors only add to the numbers or stats of visits to your site and nothing else.
A website or blog owner will want targeted traffic to his website. Why? In most cases he had monetized it with affiliate links, adsense or sales page for his product. It could be that his aim is for visitors to the home page or landing page to join a membership forum or private section of his site (free or paid). Whatever the case might be the bottom line is that he (owner of site) wants a sale, commission, increased click through rate on pay per click ad, some specific action to be taken or filling a form e.t.c. from his visitors and the type of visitors that are likely to do things are those with need that his blog is setup to meet; this the kind of traffic targeted for the site in focus. Hence, the importance of having a targeted traffic. It should be noted that targeted website traffic is gotten consistently if the relationship between them and the site is a win-win one. This simply means that you meet your visitors' need as they take desired action(s). For instance a visitor joining your mailing list might be given access to a e-course that share a usefull information.
Here are some suggestions on how to get targeted website traffic:
1. Pay per click (ppc)
2. Joining many niche specific forum and be active on them
3. Search engine optimisation (seo).
On how to make $1000 you only need to take stock of your sale, income per click and other stats and intensify effort to achieve this amount or even more. If you believe you can you will. I will expantiate on this in a future post.
