What's a good conversion rate of visitors to my site it seems like a tons of visitors before a conversion..Thanks for any input
Well, I think that depends on your site, this is one among many things. Depends on how targeted your visitors are. Suppose you have a mailing list for painting books and you show them your site about industrial machines, I guess the conversion rate will be very low. To answer you straight to the point, with examples, on one of my sites that sells templates I have an aprox rate of 1:500 but I also deliver free templates, what lowers my rate. TemplateMonster says 1:60, I could not get there. For selling hosting from this templates site, so sending somehow targeted visitors I have 1:180 (aprox). Really depends on your site, your site text and on how targeted your visitor really are.
affiliate programs conversion rate review good question to ask. I think the last response helped to understand. Understanding what the average earning per click given in CJ and shareasale will help you to understand the basics a bit to how the site converts. At Pingo we offer a ton of impulse phone card sales offers to help boost that conversion rate whenever possible. good luck! Also think about the landing pages that your building to figure out a way to help it convert higher!
it means that one in 16 visitors completes a sale. Ratios are gonna be different from month to month and from site to site. The only thing you really need to worry about your conversion rate is increasing it. It doesn't matter what it is now, just try to make it better. Theres no point where you should say "okay im converting enough i'll stop pushing it".
1:16 is pretty good. Abou 6%. My commerce sites are at about 2% or so. I'd be rolling in dough if I could ever get 6%
33% of people that visit my sites click on a CJ link. 1.5 in 100 actually buy something. So from there it is a numbers game. Create pages with volume keyword phrases..optimize...do a press release...sleep...rinse and repeat...and count the money. well...it takes some time
It depends on the quality of traffic, the more targeted the better. It depends on the type of traffic, tire kickers vs. buyers. It depends on the affiliate program or network, how well it tracks sales and parasitic activity (not all do a great job). It depends on the affiliate link used (is it masked and protected from ad blockers). It depends on the landing page, how many leaks the merchant has (adsense blocks, "Affiliates Earn Money Here" links, links to other merchants, toll free number sales redirects, and more). If a merchant isn't performing, find someone else to work with. Either your traffic isn't interested in that particular offer or the merchant is unworthy.
