Organic traffic is the traffic that we directly get from search engines. When we search for search engines the results we get on the SERPs are considered organic traffic. Let me explain to you with the help of an example. When we search on Google for something like “Jeans” and results that we get on the Google SERPs are best known as the organic search, and the site that gets a click from that organic search can be best known as the organic traffic for that website.
If someone says that getting Organic traffic to your website is the easiest task, then don’t trust that person because it is one of the difficult tasks. And that person is no doubt lying to you. I know there was a time when getting organic traffic was easy because of the less competition. But now the times have changed and getting organic search for your blog or website is somehow a lot more difficult. But I must say to you that organic traffic is one of the best sources of traffic for your blog or website. I will give you the reasons why it is so:
When people find your website’s posts or pages through search engines, they will think that you are good at doing Search engine optimization and have also done a lot of hard work. This creates a good image of your website in their mind and return, they want to subscribe to you or want links to your site because your keywords are appearing in the Google SERPs.
Visitors to your blog or website will reach you instead of you researching them through blog commenting, guest posting, and social media. Although we must be using all those techniques to reach a lot of people when people reach you, it makes a good reputation in their minds as I explained in the above point.
According to my experience, I have seen that monetizing networks like Google AdSense, Infolinks, and some others pay more when our website gets more organic traffic instead of referrals or any other type of traffic. I have not only experienced the high CPC rate with the monetizing networks, but many other bloggers have also experienced the same. Whereas with the referral or any other type of traffic, I have experienced a lot less earning as compared to the organic search.
It is the best thing, from the day I started receiving traffic through Google Search, I felt very relaxed and self-confident. Getting traffic through organic search Boosts me and signals me that I am going on the right path. And I am sure that for other bloggers and webmasters getting results through Google search boosts self–confidence. And as a result, more hard work on their websites.
A long time ago when there was no or very little competition, it was a lot easier to get more traffic using organic search but the competition is increasing day by day. There is a website that keeps on counting the number of websites published each second; its stats show that 1 billion websites are live today and the number keeps on increasing. You can check the total number of websites on the internet at internetlivestats.com. Now you can yourself put estimate how difficult is to rank a keyword on the first page of Google.
I have taken the above screenshot from the same website which shows how competition has increased in the last five years. From the above stats, you can imagine how hard it is to get organic traffic for your blog or website when there are billions of websites on the internet, and everyone is making an effort to rank on Google SERPs. I recommend you to check the above website if you want to get proper stats about the number of websites and see how it matters a lot.
In the third point, I mentioned that it is hard to get organic traffic to your blog or website. But it is not impossible. Even though I am getting a lot of organic traffic to my blog, and if you have reached this post of mine through organic search, that only means it is possible to get more organic traffic to your website and blog. If you are reading this post because you have subscribed to my blog or through social media or any other referring sites then I will explain to you how organic search is working for me and how you can get the same traffic for your blog or websites. There are many posts on my blog which appear on the first page of Google.
I have written a post on “Does Google Count Keywords in the URL?” Which appears on the first page of Google when searched. In that post, I have shown some of the results of my blog posts which appear on the first page of Google search. There are many more results, but it will make the post a lot longer. And I don’t want to bore you with a long written post, instead just want to provide some basic information only.
Now let’s move to our main topic how can we get more organic traffic to our blog or website?
Many things are responsible for getting the organic type of traffic for your blog or website.
In the above points, I wrote that it is difficult to get Organic traffic but not impossible. So, you can get more traffic. As there is no doubt that organic traffic is the best kind of Traffic, I want your opinion also. So, leave your opinion in your comments.

Hi dear Robin,
Good post. Organic traffic is the real value of any website not paid. Good content and good SEO increase your website’s organic traffic. But remember it takes some time. Thanks
Hey Robin,
organic search is more cost-effective in the long run. However, with the right tweaking to your campaign and attention to landing page optimization, paid search can be very cost-effective as well. Take a look at your goals and don’t be afraid to experiment.
