How to Build Websites for Fun and Profit!

Who needs web traffic?

Obtaining traffic may or may not really be that important to you. I have met some bloggers that really didn't care how many people (volume wise) visited their blog. Generally you really care about traffic levels when you are running an eCommerce site or a business site for the real world. Some businesses that don't rely heavily on online advertising don't seem to mind low traffic levels as well.
