Just 2% – 3% of websites are able to produce enough traffic and revenue. Why? The main explanation boils down to content. Depending on the aims of the website (some only want to have an online presence), content is key to success.
Here’s an example to describe it. If you have an offline store, the primary source of traffic would be location and visibility. For instance, if you run a clothing store in a busy shopping district or a shopping mall. By setting up an enticing window display and products, you can create enough traffic to turn it to sales.
This is not the case online. You don’t take advantage of the passersby, who see your window and then enter your store. Much of the time, people on the Internet are not looking for you or your website. They are looking for details or solutions. In other words, it’s the content of your website that has the power to bind visitors to your site. So, getting good content online is just as important as having a good location offline.
