Hi, I've just created a website. I'm getting around 100 unique visitor per day. But my sales is 1 in 3 days. Is it normal? How many hits are you all getting to make 1 sale on average?
The important number is not the number of hits, but number of hops from your website. If 100 people visit each day but only 1 clicks on the hoplink, you will not convert very often. Also, the number of conversions depends on your website, the product, and the traffic you are getting. If you get targeted traffic, you can expect a sale in every 30-100 hop clicks (not visits!). Good luck, nadavs
it really depends on the traffic you are getting, I have campaigns where I get sale every 5 - 10 hops, and other campaigns I get 30 - 100 hops/sale.
General rule of thumb is 1 sale for every 100 hits. So 1% of your traffic will be a sale, assuming of course your traffic is targeted. You wont make any sales if your website is selling dog food, but people are looking for bird food, etc. Hope this helps.
There are sooooo many factors in this that there really is no average.. it varies from product to product and in niche to niche... What you need to do is think... If you made 1 sale in 300 hits... then you have to multiply your traffic by 5 to get 5 sales right?... so you need 1500 hits for your 5 sales, give or take a few hits... and from there you need to think again... If you published 5 articles to get those hits, you again have to multiply in a similar fashion to increase your traffci to that 1500+... Start from the conversion and work backwards along your plan, tweaking as you go along, and testing different pages for conversion and stats Just my .02 Jay
Agree with JayXtreme. Also it's very difficult to predict any sales unless you are doing some PPC marketing. If you are into Bum Marketing or have a website, then it's almost impossible to say when you will get a sale, because traffic is not laser targeted like in PPC.
1. The amount of traffic that actually clicks on the hoplink. 2. The quality of traffic going to the hoplink. 3. The quality of the your selling ability. 4. The quality of the affiliates selling ability. I've had 1:5 and I've had 0:500.
So far today 717 visitors with 8 sales on one of my sites. Some days more and some days less (sales). There are really so many factors and I push so many different niches/products that it's really hard to pinpoint an exact number. 100 visits a day with 1 sale every 3 days really isn't that bad.
Thks for so many tips !!! All really make sense to me! I feel like if I find targeted visitors, it'll be much more easier. But how do we find those visitors generally ???
This is a great thread and the way you guys are tearing it apart is awesome - and true. Here is a spinner - what if a program offered a $2,000 payout per conversion? Would it be worth a 1:1030 conversion rate? hmmm gotcha thinkin yet? Think offline too - sales floors do nothing but call people all day and ask for money, credit, claims, etc. - and they have to chase HUGE dollar amounts - even a 1:1000 conversion on a six figure account block would be worth it... There is no rule of thumb unless you ask about a specific product and others can share their findings. If there had to be an overall average - the amount of items in the marketplace that have not converted/dropped out/rarely convert would or could bring the average way down to 1:1000 or more - any 'semi-successful to really-successful' program - 1% is a good starting point.
It depends on the quality of your traffic and how you place your advertisements. Of course last but not least whether your squeeze page converts. That really matters alot. So just take note of this 3 basics and you will be on the right track. Just my 2 cents.
Hi Candy.. what you need to do is associate with your market... go out there and find some forums or message boards in your niche..and then start taking notes, common problems or discussion topics and you will start to see patterns in the questions being asked and what they want... from there you will start to see a bigger picture, now you can use the google external keyword tool to find some descriptive longtail kewords for you to go after... essentially you would want under 20,000 competing pages for ay keyword you look to target... when typed in brackets into the search engine... and plenty of searches per day.. the G keword tool only shows bars but there are others that you can cross reference with to get number... I think I have a free keyword tool about somewhere...I will try an drop back later with it, I usually send it out to my list about 3 messages into the follow up.. it's a great little tool that gives you searches per day and competition from the 3 major engines... now obviously no keyword tool is to be trusted 100%...they are just average or expected numbers..no definite data Your best keyword tool is YOUR BRAIN... thinking like the consumer will enable you to search online like the consumer, which enables you to offer exactly what the consumer wants Jay
