Comments on: Is Internet Traffic Dying? http://spidersecret.com/is-internet-traffic-dying/ How to Get Clients To Come To You Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:24:08 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Renee http://spidersecret.com/is-internet-traffic-dying/comment-page-1/#comment-160 Renee Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:10:50 +0000 http://spidersecret.com/is-internet-traffic-dying/#comment-160 I feel the same as Perry, that there has been such an explosion in websites and blogs that the attention span (& loyalty) is rapidly diluted. Keeping your site/blog fresh and entertaining to retain visitors is a heckuva lot more difficult. It seems that having several authors can help alleviate this task as well as providing different points of view for the readers. Communities may hold readers' interest for a short time, when a specific topic is featured that they're interested in, and then they move on.

My theory is that there are so many different places to go and see on the Internet that although the number of users continues to increase that traffic is more spread out. I don't go to Amazon as often as I used for instance. But when I do, I buy something. At one time it was a place I kind off looked around, did a little window shopping so to speak. Now I go there to update my shopping cart or wish list or to actually make a purchase. I do research there from time to time as well but not real often. So my guess is the traffic is spread out over more websites but many of the folks that go to those profitable sites are buyers not lookers. It’s an interesting conundrum.
