The key to online riches

If I were asked to provide the key to online riches, I would say two words: Internet traffic. What is Internet traffic? Internet traffic is, essentially, the amount of “hits” or “visits” a website or web page receives. Currently, this blog has had 1569 “hits” since its creation. That is this blog’s total traffic.

Most of the traffic isn’t even real traffic. This blog only has around 100 real visits by real people, which is very, very little comparatively. I’ve had this blog up for five months. For comparison, Youtube gets one billion unique visits per month. Quite the difference.

How does one make money from online visits?

There is much one can do to make money when one has a lot of traffic. Pay per download can be utilized, adsense and pay-per-click can be used, donations can requested, products can be sold via affiliate links, marketing space can be rented, etc.

Many, many things can be done once one has heavy Internet traffic.

Now, here’s the hard part. How does one get heavy Internet traffic?
