Maximising the number of people visiting your site doesn't necessarily guarantee AdSense success. If the quality of traffic is poor, you simply won't make any money.
There are three basic kinds of visitors that make up the majority of internet traffic. There are the internet savvy searchers that are extremely wary of ads. These types of visitors must be avoided like the plague. These types of visitors rarely click on AdSense ads. They often get what they want and leave rarely return unless what a particular website offers is extremely unique. There are the bouncers, click happy visitors that are looking for things in an instant. They often don't hang around for long and do not normally come back... unless something catches their eye. They can make good traffic but only if your AdSense website is perfectly optimized. If it's not displaying what bouncers want during the first 10 seconds of their arrival, then you will undoubtedly lose them to the websphere.
Then there are the patient searchers. These types are what make the ideal AdSense traffic. They normally arrive through search engines and will take time to look through your site (as long as it shows signs of containing what they're looking for). Patient searchers don't mind AdSense ads and are more than willing to click on them as long as it takes them somewhere that might be related to what they were searching for.
These are the types of visitors that you could form a relationship with, the type that may become a repeat visitor. This type of visitor can become a keen and genuine participant of your AdSense website depending on what you have to offer.
This is the ultimate type of AdSense traffic. The type that arrives at your site frequently to see what's on it and whenever possible interacts with your AdSense ads. This is the kind of visitor you want, the kind that makes the best type of AdSense traffic. But how do you get them to your site in the first place?
Patient searchers trust search engines. If you happen to occupy the first few positions of a specific search query you have already gone some way towards gaining their trust. If your site comes up first for a query and your site delivers on their expectations, you would almost certainly have gained a repeat visitor.
But getting to that all important first position is often very difficult for most of the popular keywords. However, the nature of the internet is beginning to change. There is a way to get the perfect kind of AdSense traffic without fighting over the most popular keywords.
More than 80% of search queries are composed of more than 3 or more long-tail keywords. One of the best ways to get a decent number 1 position in the search engines is to focus on very popular long-tail keywords. Unfortunately, this method requires a lot of background research, time and energy that most AdSense publishers are unwilling to sacrifice.
But if you want to get the best type of AdSense traffic, the ideal way is to concentrate on long-tail keywords.
