Exactly Why Web 2.0 Traffic is a Waste of Time

Right now everyone is trying to get Web 2.0 website traffic & social media traffic. The problem with this traffic is it is not exactly what you think and if you focus to much on it, you will waste a lot of time and drive yourself out of business.

Reason #1 Why It Is A Waste Of Your Time:

It is very hard to get this traffic! People don't realize this but it is very hard to get this traffic to come to your site and buy from you. I tried buying paid traffic on 2 of the most popular Web 2.0 websites on the Internet and drove over 5,000 visitors to my website and not one of them bought from me.

Now think about that for a second - 5,000 visitors came to my site and no one bought a thing! Normally using Web 1.0 traffic sources I would have gotten about 50 sales and made a lot of money.

The reason for this is - Web 2.0 traffic is not usually looking to buy, they are looking to network, have fun, socialize and meet people like them. This is fine and there is nothing wrong with that. But if you're trying to generate traffic from this, be prepared for a long process of banging your head against your computer.

I would like to ask you a question...

Why do you think you should be able to make money of this Web 2.0 traffic when you can't make money off the Web 1.0 traffic that has been proven to convert better and has made more Internet millionaires then Web 2.0 traffic has?

Focus on what works and when you make your fortunes with Web 1.0 traffic, invest some time in the social media traffic that everyone is talking about.
