Business owners often ask how much traffic their website should be getting. The truth is there is no simple answer to this question. For example, if you run a small store in North Carolina, it would not be useful to compare your traffic to Amazon. Equally, there is a distinction between the traffic levels you could expect to receive on a Business-to-Business (B2B) website as opposed to those on a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) website.

The goal of any business should not be to hit a specified traffic target. The most crucial goal is to always strive for more traffic, as long as it’s the right traffic. More qualified visitors means more conversions and, ultimately, more customers for your business.

Often, a business will concentrate on search engine optimization (SEO) as a major source of traffic. By optimizing a website to fit a certain keyword, webmasters think they can trick Google, Yahoo, and Bing into giving them preferential search ranks.

However, search traffic must ultimately come as the result of an “organic” process. By creating the best website in your industry with naturally occurring keywords, you will increase your search engine traffic and get more hits from links and leads – the organic way.

After all, there is little value in generating traffic if you do not work hard to convert that traffic into customers. Implement highly interactive content to encourage return visits, and with each returning visitor, you have another chance to convert them into a customer.
