Social Media Website Traffic

I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but social media accounts for only 5% of all website traffic.

That percentage has remained static for years, meaning that it’s not growing, folks.

Plus that 5% of website traffic is being shared out amongst all the different social media platforms available today. Shared out, but not equally.

For example: Facebook makes up over 65% of the total website visitors from social media across all niches.

This means that, no matter what kind of business you’re in, if you’re on the hunt for website visitors through social networks, you’ve got to be on Facebook!

But it also means that Facebook’s social dominance is just 65% of social’s  5% of total website visitor traffic. That means, generally speaking, that Facebook accounts for 3.25% of all website traffic.

What about the other social networks?

Well, they don’t do nearly as well. And of particular note is how badly Instagram is doing in terms of attracting visitors to websites.

It’s a fascinating subject to me, but you may find it all too dull.

However, if you have a business with an online presence – particularly one where you rely on any social platforms to attract visitors to your company website – it’s worth taking a closer look at the numbers. Because quite frankly, the numbers may scare you. Scare you enough to reconsider what types of website traffic you’re focusing on.

I found a really cool article from October 2019 all about it. It’s a long one, but worth the read. And even if you skim the article – as I did initially – you’ll get a lot out of it. Click here to go read it.

Meanwhile, how are other avenues doing in leading traffic to websites?
Well, let’s see:

Pay-per-click advertising: 15%. Not bad, but…

Organic (not paid) search engine results: 53%...and growing. Wow!
​
There’s something there to consider, don’t you think?

Written Text: The “Crown Prince” of Content

Your website can be the prettiest thing on the internet, but if the content is poor, then it doesn’t matter what your website looks like. I’m not sure if you’ve heard the expression “content is king”. It sounds kind of hokey, doesn’t it? Because, let’s face it, people just don’t read like they used to, so you wouldn’t think that content – especially the written word – would be all that important. Rather, it seems much more plausible that website visitors would appreciate visual stimulation a whole lot more than long passage of written material. All true, but there are several factors that you may not realize. First of all, not all website content comes in the form of written text. Website content can be in any medium (including, but not limited to videos, images and yes, text). What makes any medium “content” is if it helps to inform and educate your website visitors as to the purpose of the website and what you have to offer your visitors (in the form of products, services, informatio...

There are 2 very important rules your business absolutely NEEDS to follow in order for your website to succeed online: Satisfy the Search Engines  – We put this as the first rule for a very good reason. Without satisfying the search engines your company website will NOT get in front of the eyes of your potential customers. Simple as that. Your site may look pretty, but if the search engines don’t like it, your site may as well be on Mars because it will get buried deep in the search results where no one will find it, let alone click through to visit your site. ​​ Satisfy the Website Visitors  – A well-designed website meets the needs of its visitors. It tells them right away what they want to know without going off on unnecessary tangents or distracting visitors with unnecessary design elements, all while looking attractive and easy to read and navigate.  Good...

The Golden Ratio

Besides do-follow and no-follow backlinks, there is another set of factors to keep in mind. Let us explain. For starters, whatever type of backlink is pointing to your website, it will have what is sometimes called citation flow. Citation Flow Citation flow is concerned with the sheer volume of links back to your website and the value of each of those links. The flow indicates that there is some linking “juice” going from that website to yours, sometimes even if the link is a no-follow. (Although many no-follow backlinks have zero citation flow.) Of course, do-follow links will have much more citation flow than no-follows. Considerably more. What you want from citation flow is a lot of valuable “juice” flowing to your website. But you also want something else. Something else that is a little harder to come by. A very special something called trust flow. Trust Flow Trust flow indicates how influential a website is. You definitely want as much trust flowing to your website as possible th...
