Website traffic is defined as the number of visitors and visits to a website. Initially, at the start of the dotcom phenomenon, website traffic was considered as the most important factor in reckoning how successful a website was; but recently, it is more about profitability, i.e. how much of the increased website actually converts to money. Therefore, return on investment (ROI) is an important factor which is being considered these days.

Increased website traffic is crucial to your online business. To put it simply, more website traffic, means more business. As the number of visitors to your site increases, so does the number of potential customers and more are the chances of increased sales. So if you want to make money, you have just got to increase your website traffic.

There are many ways to undertake promotion with a view to increasing traffic to your website. One of the most effective is to try and get in the top ten positions of Google, Yahoo and other search engines. This has the added advantage of being free traffic, as opposed to say, pay per click or advertising.

Keywords that you target can be split into three categories. Hard, Medium and easy.
