Can anybody explain 'Targeted Traffic'

Hello Guys,

with search engine optimization we often hear the words, targeted traffic, keyword traffic etc. Can anybody tell what exactly meant by these words??

Thanks.

 

Targeted traffic is comprised of people who are interested in the theme of your website. For example, if your website is devoted to website designs targeted traffic will consist of website designs lovers, not people looking for information on how to manage affiliate programs.

 

Is this should be organic traffic or?

 

Organic traffic just means the people are coming in without you really doing any work. They find your site through Search Engines like Bing or Google, or will find your link on a blog post or forum post like this and click it. That's Organic traffic, which is a way of getting people to visit your site. Targeted traffic is a way of describing the traffic, which means they are all interested in your product. You can have organic, targeted traffic - in fact that's the best kind IMO

 

Targeted traffic is just that. The traffic that you are targeting. For example, if you have a website about losing weight, your targeted traffic would be people out there that are searching for websites about weight loss.

 

What all of the peeps above have said... Targeted traffic just means bringing your the audience of people you want to target with you web site TO your web site. This can be done many ways.

You can get targeted traffic with:

1) SEO by having your pages rank well for their targeted keyword phrases
2) By Pay-Per-Click campaigns by bidding on keywords that you think your targeted audience
3) By participating in blogs and forums related to your site where you think your targeted audience my be lurking...

etc.

 

Targeted traffic is all the people who are searching for your specific product. And if you optimize you website correctly you and or create good PPC campaiges you can get alot of visitors who are interested in your product to your site.

 

thanks friend. It is really helpful. But is it worth to use pay per click advertising just for bringing traffic? I think you are talking about adwords or other similar services right? (excuse me if I'm wrong). Is it worth?

 

Targeted traffic is something which your users are looking out for your website using the keywords which you target or closely to your keywords. So its always better to have targeted traffic with relevant keyword search.

 

Yes, yes. This is what I exactly wanted to know. Could you please share something more about 'keyword traffic'?? Many thanks for that..

 

Targeted traffic can go further than just people searching for your keywords. If you are selling widgets you want to get the people looking to buy widgets to your website. You could care less about the people that are just looking for information about widgets or doing price comparisons. While getting traffic from relative keywords is important you also want to target users with certain mind sets as well.

 

Thanks, I found this really useful.

 

if u wanna answer for a single word .. targeted traffic = your keyword .. please correct me if i was wrong ..???

 

...and to add to the explanation : targeted traffic means higher conversion rates and less bounce, of course...

 

who are the people you target? If you are selling cars, then targetted traffic = people actually looking to buy cars. Non-targetted traffic would be people looking for a photo of a car for their Yahoo avatar, that came to your site cuz you have good photos. There is good traffic (targetted), then there is the riff raff

 

good definition .. i think its enough to discuss about targeted traffic . thanks a lot to marshill88

 

Organic traffic requires the use of techniques and tools to be properly used for better results.The first and the far most step to get a bunch of organic traffic is to have a large variety of unique content on your website which can result in the profit of reader and can be a great dinner for search engines

 

Targeted traffic refers to traffic interested in content/product available on site. Small targeted traffic can easily beat revenue earned from large non-targeted traffic

For sure true. Quality traffic is another word for targeted traffic.

 

It's a particular demography of the people whom the website owner wants to visit his site.
e.g. if your site is about financial consulting then your targeted visitors would be from the age 20 to 50 and working people.
You can get the targeted traffic data from quantcast and alexa as well.
