Too Much traffic for your blog is not always a nice thing.
Posted by: admin In: Blogging Matter
Many of us blogger tries to promote, optimize blog site, post quality content everyday, target keywords, rank it on search engine then what? Of course profit from it.
Let me show you this reality. What if your blog site becomes popular? Then you noticed the website is getting slower and slower each day until it goes down almost every 5 minutes. Then your host suggested taking that affordable dedicated server since your Virtual Private Server cannot handle the blog site anymore. How far are you willing to go? Will you get that dedicated server that will cost you $99++/monthly? Not to mention the management additional cost you need to pay unless you are a knowledgeable server guy.
Now your monthly expenses doubled because of that scenario. It can be considered a good thing if your profit goes up as well but I believe high traffic does not always mean high profit. I’ve seen a lot of websites became popular then one day it cannot sustain the monthly expenses. Next option is to shutdown the site. So, for all you blogistas out there watch out for this situation. Make you sure you have plan B for this situation.
