Intuitively, it's pretty clear traffic comes from two types of sources:</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
a) Sources that point back to your blog - advertising on forums, search engine traffic, links in your profile. I will call this "indirect," because even if you load your blog with all the right keywords, what guarantee do you have for a high search engine placement? And no one has to click on a link if they don't want to, even if your link is all over the internet.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
b) People you actually network with and contact and maybe even befriend.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
Now traffic type "b" sounds a lot better than "a," but when "b" is in a relationship mess and loses his job and can't get online, you might be loaning him money to go visit your blog.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogwriters.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=503278%3ATopic%3A185"><DIV>
Truth is, you need both sources. You need to network and find some in type "b," and type "a" is vital, esp. if you run ads on your blog. Search engine traffic is far more likely to click ad links than your regulars.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7A1D4965-B369-4819-9215-65C767FF3F63/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
