someone said traffic is not related to PageRank.

(another important factor of pages is Link-Popularity)

my Q:

who is god for traffic?

keywords?

Is it just me or did that make absolutely no sense? :eek:

This post may require a plethora of street drugs to understand, you are not alone Amdac.

Words of the keys. Traffic from God is who links to poluar pages.



Didn't understand that? Neither did I.

sorry,

Okay. Now could you kindly explain the rest of your post? Because I couldn't make heads or tails of it either. :erm:

"Someone" would likely be at least partially incorrect. Without incoming links, there is no page rank.

who is god for traffic?
What on earth does that mean? "Who are the leading authorities on the topic of generating traffic?" "What are the key considerations when evaluating and monetizing traffic?" Something else?

Who is the "who" you're asking about? What do you mean by "god"? What do you mean by "traffic"? How does this relate to page rank or keywords or whatever else it is that you're talking about? :confused:

Eliz.

Who is god for traffic? that would be me. I'm partially related to Zeus.. I'm his brother's uncle's daughter's son.

Wow you too :-)

I'm partially related to Zeus.. I'm his brother's uncle's daughter's son.
Is this one of those "I'm my own grandpa" kinda things...? ;)

You are really going about everything the wrong way.

The amount of traffic you get does nothing for your pagerank. Your pangrank is determined by the quality of your content, number of incomming links, and other things along those lines. On top of this pagerank doesn't matter that much anyways.

Now on the other hand, having a high pagerank will help you with your traffic as the odds are that you have incomming links to your site from othe sites and a higher listing in different search engines. Because of this people are more likely to find your site when they serach for _insert your keywords here_ and if it is a good site they are going to click on it. People will also end up at your site from the links you have on other sites.

I see you have quite a few SEO posts around, what is your real goal with this site of yours?

The amount of traffic you get does nothing for your pagerank. Your pangrank is determined by the quality of your content, number of incomming links, and other things along those lines. PageRank is a measure only of incoming links to a given page. Recursively it's actually a measure of the PageRank of the pages that link to a given page. Content or "other things along those lines" aren't part of the PageRank formula.

the answer is: the traffic lights. Sometimes.

On top of this pagerank doesn't matter that much anyways.

It depends on your goals. A high pagerank with a good choice of keywords could rank you on the first page of google for those search terms. Then end result could be a rather extreme amount of traffic, depending on the keywords of course.

A high pagerank doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a lot of traffic, nor does a lot of traffic mean you'll have a high pagerank. In the end, it could make a large difference if done correctly.

The only thing I have seen that seems to matter most is time, time, time. A lot of people think Google is the best search engine and, to a degree, they might be correct. However, I have not had good luck with Google as much as with the MSN search engine.

I'll give you an example. I put up a gaming site a couple of years ago and it was (by far) the largest and most comprehensive site of its kind *ever* built for this particular game. No other previous site even came close in terms of content and membership growth. The site grew at a rate of 1000 members per week the very *moment* is came online. Granted, I had extensive contact within its community and with its developer so most of the community knew the site was coming. However, Google took a whole three months to get it on its front page in searches while MSN had it there within three weeks. We are talking about a game that only sold one million copies worldwide (and that was 5 years *before* my site was built). The site outgrew all of the old established ones within three months. Also, it was linked on every major gaming network (both in forums and in the links sections) in the world. Still, Google ignored it. Now, I have erected a site for horse sales. It is also the best of its kind on the web. Now I am waiting to see how long it will take Google to "get it". In my opinion, Google is an awfully slow way to get your site seen. Once it starts working, it works well. One would think that Google would realize that a domain paid for in ten year increments plans to stick around.

Unfortunately, a horse sales site is only of interest to people inside the horse community. I can link it like this http://www.online-equines.com all day and it won't help me any. It might help with Google (probably wont though) but it won't increase my horse traffic. This is why I have decided to go with direct advertising inside the horse community. Search engines are too slow. Google will totally ignore sites that are beautifully made and coded nicely and sitting on massive dedicated servers with loads of resources and then they will list similar sites that are plain ugly, horribly coded and on shared, oversold hosting plans that are slow as Christmas. I guess the key is time. You just have to be online for a year or so before they will even look at you seriously.

IMO, Its just not a single factor that pull out the traffic, the visitor hardly stay at your site from 10 to 20 second, the keyword, site content, relevant links play major role to increase traffic if it sum up with your marketing campaign.
