The various types of traffic that you may be looking to use could be from Search Engines, blogs or forums, link exchanges, banner advertising or free traffic. Although the sources of traffic will vary a great deal they can still be put into two areas. That of Targeted traffic and the area of Un-targeted traffic.

An example of un-targeted traffic could be the following. Let's say that you have to meet your friend in a department store, you have about an hour to wait for him. You decide to have a look around the store but you do not have any intention to buy anything. You are just passing the time away.

Let's imagine that you are going shopping. You have a shopping list of some specific things you with to purchase. In fact you may also purchase items that will also complement the list of items you already wish to buy. This would be a good example of targeted traffic.
