It is crucial to understand where your website traffic is coming from. In this episode, Tyson talks about the 4 kinds of traffic and why it is important to use Website Analytics.
What was discussed?

* Quote for the day is: "Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough."  -Og Mandino
 
* Website Analytics put simply is: tracking the behavior of your visitors to figure out how they ended up on your site.
4 kinds of traffic:

o Direct traffic
* Direct traffic is the most common and comes from individual people directly accessing your website.
 
o Paid Traffic
* Paid traffic comes from ads you are running on websites, social media, etc. This can also be considered referral traffic.
 
o Referral Traffic
* Referral traffic comes from sites on which you are referenced.
 
o Referral traffic can be increased by guest blogging, but be consistent with your citations. See “The Blogging Doctors” below.
 
o Organic Traffic
* Organic traffic comes from search engines.
* Google Webmasters, or manually running a report and adding a filter, can reveal how a user found your site.
 
o Stay Credible
* Submitting your articles to databases can cause them to be labeled as spam.
