Best quality traffic what kind of traffic do you consider the highest quality? Who has the best conversion rate for actual sales.
For me it is traffic from links on trusted sites that have an audience profile that would be interested in my product. As you can guess from my sig, these are Japan-related authority sites. Actually, let me just qualify that and say that it is not just the links themselves, but the fact that these sites are recommending my site to their visitors that also really helps, I think. The only caveat I would add is that the main search traffic I am getting at the mo is from Yahoo. (G has me in the sandbox and MSN does not seem to want to give me a proper listing for some reason that I don't get.) So the fact that most of my business comes from non-search engine sources is therefore not surprising. However, I do think that links from authority sites that endorse you and your product is pretty hard to beat. Better still when your number 1 referrer gives you all that for free .
Hi, I think forums have a great response, because forums you are in your target market, they easy to find they are free to join and to post
For me it is SE traffic with a product related keyword. E.g. i have software site, PHP scripts traffic are bad converters, certain type of software products are great converters (duh). Good converting traffic (but low) is refer this page to a friend.
