Web Traffic Secret Formula Revealed - Why Traffic Is NOT EQUAL To Money!

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof" - Carl Edward Segan


There are many expressions that we constantly repeat like - "Half bread is better than none" - which may seem "true," but in reality is very dangerous to your success in life. If you believe in this saying, then you'll subconsciously slide into a rut and only settle for less in life - never learning to get in the driver's seat - and never cultivating the inner passion to follow-through on major projects. If you know of anyone who consciously or subconsciously uses this expression - with tact - let he/she know the dangers of its repeated usage to the human psyche.


A second case study before we finally delve into the real meat of this article is the belief that "Knowledge is power." Now, this is another expression which is often repeated, but it's NOT true that knowledge is power - it is "APPLIED KNOWLEDGE" that is "POWER." Knowledge on its own is useless if not applied. In this article, YOU will read and see "Why Traffic Is NOT EQUAL To Money!" So, let's get started - RIGHT NOW! :-)


As a beginner or experienced affiliate and Internet marketer, niche blog marketer, information technology (IT) expert (who has a need for savvy online marketing and advertising expertise), Internet Web site designer - or professional in other fields of Internet entrepreneurship, YOU would have come across and/or heard the popular online expression or cliché:

"Traffic Is Equal To Money" OR "Traffic = Money."


The quoted phrase above is very simplistic, bland and can give beginner and intermediate online business marketers and entrepreneurs a SKEWED sense of what it takes to succeed online. I have 2 QUICK FACTS to show you that will make the REAL Web traffic and money generation formula come alive or become more vivid to you.


Fact #1 Formula: In The TRUE Sense, It Is The:

Web Marketing Confluence of Events + Business Cycles = Avalanche of Targeted Web Traffic + Money In Your Bank Accounts.


Fact #2 Formula: We Can Also Look At This FACT Or Formula In Another Way By Saying That:

Web Marketing Confluence of Events + Business Cycles = Avalancheof Targeted Web Traffic = Money In Your Bank Accounts.


Do Formulae #1 and #2 look, feel and sound heavy to you? Well, they shouldn't be when YOU finally realize that this is the elusive "Holy Grail of Web Marketing" - already in use under different marketing variables and names by a few entrepreneurs (in the region of 5%), but NOT by the majority... and that's in the region of 95%!


Now, traffic (i.e., the movement of Internet information or data stored on computer networks between Internet users through browsing and/or surfing) on its own is USELESS to niche Internet marketers or business bloggers if it's NOT derived from highly-targeted niche markets, or if you have no squeeze pages or autoresponder accounts with follow-up systems, constant ad tracking campaigns, free interactive Web marketing or blog video posts or clips, automated marketing systems - and much more!


These constitute subsets of what I refer to as the "Web Marketing Confluence of Events and Business Cycles." In addition, business cycles can have two different major phases, namely - rising and declining business cycles. It's the rising or upswing business cycles (i.e., when there is a rise in personal income and consumer demand for new products, services and features) that is more beneficial to us here - although some savvy entrepreneurs have uncanny ways of profiting from declining business cycles (... and product cycles) as well by identifying hidden trends through marketplace research.


YOU can read MORE of my thoughts on this in an article that I earlier wrote - which is entitled:
"Web Marketing Holy Grail Unleashed - Confluence Of Events and Business Cycles!"


From my practical online entrepreneurial observations, I've realised that we subconsciously absorb some of the popular online clichés like "Traffic = Money" to the detriment of our own success. Thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX or looking at the BIG PICTURE when you are trying to generate consistent highly-targeted Web traffic demands that you apply some or all the Web marketing variables or "Web Marketing Confluence of Events" in order to create a surge of money in your bank accounts.


As an Internet entrepreneur since 2001, I've been through some rather painful trials and errors (just like some beginner and intermediate Internet entrepreneurs who initially violated the universal Web marketing principles). I'll never forget the "punishing lessons" I've learned because of some clichés like "Traffic = Money." YOU have to clearly define what kind of Web or blog traffic you want - and that is the high-quality, unique visitors to your blog or Web site derived from a highly-targeted and profitable niche marketplace - NOT just any kind of traffic!


Closing Thoughts:

The rules of the offline "Bricks-and-Mortar" world also apply in the online "New Economy and Web 2.0" world. A violation of these universal business rules is a surefire way of getting "dazed" - or seeing "1000s of blazing stars" - in broad daylight!

As a beginner or experienced affiliate and Internet marketer, niche blog marketer, information technology expert, Internet Web site designer - or professional in other fields of online niche business marketplaces - YOU have to constantly REMEMBER the "Web Traffic Secret Formula":

"Web Marketing Confluence of Events + Business Cycles = Avalanche of Targeted Web Traffic = Money In Your Bank Accounts"


To Your Web Marketing, Targeted Traffic and Money Generation Success! :-)
