Silly Old Twit

A lot of people will say they want more traffic. That’s what they will tell you. It’s what they think they want but before you can get a good intelligent answer you have to be sure what the question is. And in this case the question actually is “How can I get a lot of traffic in a quick and easy way”. The answer to this question is that you don’t.
So what about all the tricks and systems out there?. Easy , they don’t work. What about all those sites dedicated to getting you more traffic?. Easy , it’s all nonsense and lies. But that would mean everything I have been reading is wrong?. Easy , yes they are all wrong. But how then do I get more traffic?. Easy , like everything else you just got to work hard.
There are of course people out there who tell you otherwise but think on this. If someone told you they had an easy way of you making money what would you say? Or if someone told you that they had a simple way of making you popular with the opposite sex? People make these claims all the time but we don’t belive them. And more to the point here when or if you get in touch with an Internet site pushing these services they will tell you they have a quick fix. But of course it’s all a lie. Because if you have a real money or romance problem in your life then it’s probably got nothing to do with cash or anything else , it has a lot more to do with how you have been living that life for the last twenty years. And the solution will involve time , quite a bit of time and a lot of hard work and more. But of course you don’t get rich telling the truth like that. And deep down inside most people probably know all this and they really are just looking for assurance that somehow things will improve. And yes , we all ‘ know a guy who’ but you are not one of them. We all know a guy who won the lottery , or had a paranormal experience or who’s wife was having an affair with the milkman , we have all met people like that but it’s never happened to us. Just think about it!. Nothing is achieved in life without hard work. Even a failure has spent a long time and a lot of work to become one.
So what about all those blogs that give advice , free advice on how you can get a lot of traffic. There free , so what about them? This is another example of how careful you have to be about the question. Because you see the question is wrong. Understand this , they are not free. Let me repeat that. There not free.
You may not be giving them money but you are giving them clicks. Some people want those clicks because that in turn will make them money while others want them for a variety of reasons. They want traffic and in case you didn’t notice your it. The reasons are not important. Why do you want traffic?.
So why don’t they just tell you the truth? The answer again is simple. What if they did tell you , what would you do? And the answer to that is very simple. You just wouldn’t go back to that site again. Deep down inside you would know that what they were telling you is the truth but you would not feel grateful , just a bit down. And that’s why these blogs don’t tell you either. Some will try to be honest and tell you that with a ‘bit’ of work and these tricks that you can succeed but of course if you work hard you wont need any tricks or systems. You know that , I know that and the dogs in the street know that but human nature makes us fool , or try to fool ourselves every day of the week. We want to feel good. We need to feel good. And we spend a fortune buying stuff that we don’t need and often won’t make us happy for just this reason and we do it every day. We believe what we want to believe. If someone is running a very successful blog giving advice they will more often than not give you what your looking for and that’s usually reassurance.
There are very successful and respected sites that will tell you different. And you go back to those and that’s why they are successful.
But you’ll say I know a site or I know this blogger etc etc. My answer is follow the money or clicks. The one great problem with the internet is that anyone can give advice and they do. If someone says different just think of those clicks.
There are of course ways to improve your blog traffic but first you must understand the nature of blogging itself. And not everyone does. The successful people do but why should they tell you? They don’t even know you so why would they tell you?

If you found any of this helpful then check this blog in a week. I will write a post about the actual nature of blogging.
