The main reason for building a
website or creating a blog is in hopes of either making money or
getting people to read what you have to say.
In order to do either we need website visitors. And not all
website visitors are equal. It's best if a high percentage of
your website visitors are people interested in the subject of
your site, not people who wind up there by accident.
