Exposing the Free Traffic Myth Part II
Back to the idea that it's not free traffic. You've got to pay for it. Blog traffic is not free. You have to take the time to get in there and work the blog.
Web 2.0 is not free. You have to take the time or you have to pay somebody to do it. And time really is worth something. If you're not full-time online and you're working this thing part-time, maybe you're spending 30 hours a week working it, there's two ways you can do it.
You can work it for 30 hours a week and that's your time you're putting into it, or you can go to work somewhere at $20/hour, 30 hours a week, make $600/week on the side and then put that money into web traffic. It's the same difference. Whether it's time or money, it's not free traffic. I'm not going to beat a dead horse here, but there's no such thing as a free ride or free traffic online.
Even myself, you might look at some of my traffic. You might say that some of my search engine traffic - and maybe 5% of all my traffic comes from just organic search - you might say that's free traffic.
Well, actually it's not free traffic because I wouldn't get it if I hadn't spent time and money having links posted and creating inbound links and writing articles to create that link traffic, so once again, even organic search engine traffic is not free traffic.
One of the things that makes me laugh (its not really even funny, though) is that people think that all they need is some traffic to build a web business - and traffic is only one small part of the puzzle.
You need an end - to - end strategy for generating online income - it isn't going to just happen, and it is going to happen for free, guaranteed.
