You Want Traffic To Your Website? Stop All Of The B.S.

By Evelyn Myers


Skyrocketing website, traffic is easy

They will come if you develop it

Blah, blah, blah

If we were to produce even more traffic to our site, we'd boost our sales, I believe it is safe to state that we all jumped into that crap. On the surface, it looks sensible. Judging that concept a tiny bit better under a miniscule lens, it doesn't hold up.

I can not begin to tell you precisely how many times I have actually talked with company owners who had really managed to drive huge quantities of visitors to their web sites. The issue was the traffic wasn't converting into sales. The elephant in the room at this juncture is, why isn't the traffic converting.

The absolute best starting point is by evaluating the quality of traffic that is currently visiting your website. My mom instructed me to never ever presume. Well mom, please pardon me, I'm going to take the leap into the dark and do so anyway. I'm going to assume that you have Google Analytics on your internet site which you can track where your traffic is originating.

If for some peculiar reason you aren't currently tracking the traffic coming to your website, shame on you. The more that you understand about your traffic and what your internet site visitors are doing the better off you are going to be.

If you are currently tracking your traffic, begin by seeing where your traffic is coming from. If you find that the bulk of traffic is coming from a PAY-PER-CLICK project that you are running for example, you have 2 alternatives:

1. Take a look at your PPC projects quality scores. If you have a low score, tweak your landing-page.
2. You can also double check your keywords and change them as well.

At the day's end it comes down to tracking your traffic, and making sure it is targeted. Split test different landing pages, headlines, products, etc. It all boils down to testing, testing and more testing.

So get out there and start testing right now.
