A lot of people have built websites or pages and wonder why they have little visitors.
So let's look at why search engines are important for your website.
Why do we use them for our website? They are one of the most important sources of visitors to your website.
Without search engines it is extremely hard for people to find your website unless you use other means to promote it.
Around the year 2000, it was statically said that search engines were responsible for 90% of a website's traffic.
However, recent statistics have shown that less than 60% of a website's traffic comes from them.
In fact, people were more inclined to type the URL directly, or have clicked on a link from another website.
Even though a website's traffic represents about half of all their traffic, it is still extremely important.
Even only a small percentage came from them, it would still deem as important.
This is because search engine traffic is free.
You make a website, submit the address to your favorite engine and it will appear in the search results.
Another important fact to consider is that shoppers usually start their journey on a search engine.
They usually are looking to buy something or get information on a product that interests them.
If you have started a website or plan on making one, then you should be adding them to your agenda for traffic.
If you were to pay for all of your traffic and have no means to support that expense, you could be in some serious trouble.
