Focusing on affiliate offers that do not require a credit card submission (ie, email / zip code, dating, education offers), what are some strategies and methods to increase the traffic quality sent to these offers? The higher the quality of traffic, the less scrubbing, higher epc you would generate right? Think about it, would you rather; a) send 10,000 low quality traffic leads to an offer, or b) send 3,500 high quality traffic leads to an offer? Lets pretend you paid the same amount of money for both traffic options. Which option would produce a better return on investment? It only makes sense. I'm not focusing on any particular niche, but just in general terms to create a brainstorming session here. What are some things we can do to improve the traffic quality sent to the offers we promote?
It's not about the quality of leas, it's the cost/lead in both cases. That being said, 3,500 high quality, targeted leads sent to an offer should convert better than 10,000 general traffic leads. If 100 out of 10000 leads convert, that's a 1% conversion rate. If you're able to get a 1% conversion rate for a hundred people on a $1 action, you've made $100. If you can get a 20% conversion rate for 3,500 people, that's 700 people that have just made you $700. I actually JUST wrote a post about how a ton of IMers forget that quality still beats quantity in terms of conversions, that's why it's fresh on my mind.
For me, I'd go with "B", 3500 high quality traffic because I think the conversion would be a lot better than having 10000 low quality.
obviously, it depends how much higher quality are the 3500 leads than 10000 leads. If you expect 3 times more signups per 1000 visits from traffic b than from traffic a, than b is better and it is purely a math question It might be often then the highers quality market (e.g. Adwords) is overcrowded, so you can get better ROI in lower quality traffic
How many visitors would it take to buy one high quality guitar course? That's assuming the traffic is looking for free lessons. In other words, they aren't coming in with the mind to buy. I'm thinking maybe 1 in 1000 (visitors to the site not the page only). My traffic now is around 100 a day to the site (not only the buying page).
Fist concentrate of incoming traffic, maintain it, increase it, and then think of improving its quality.
Just drive how much traffic as you can for website......you don't know why people come to your website especially if your traffic mainly comes from search engine.... good content also will help you...
The sites which work best are those that get people interested in buying and they tend to be sites which are part of the shopping process or product oriented. Examples of types of sites that work well are those where you can read reviews, compare prices, discover great deals and niche content sites.Just drive how much traffic as you can for website...you don't know why people come to your website especially if your traffic mainly comes from search engine....good content also will help you...
Testing is the best method. Niche marketing has boiled down to finding untapped niches. A new project can be duly teted with PPC for a small amount at the time of booting SEO value at the search engines. The conversion rate is more important. A 1% conversion rate is a realistic value to begin with for an aged website.

Hey Jason, Great discussion going. I just finished talking about this very topic over on the Warrior Forum. And we all agreed that yes, quality beats quantity any day. But if you combine quality and quantity that's a killer combo. In terms of getting high quality traffic to your sites here's what I've done to get good results: 1. Forum marketing - if your niche is "internet marketing" then here at the Warrior Forum is where you should be 24/7, 365 days a year! Just be active, positive, and provide value in all your responses and questions. Oddly enough this will get people clicking your signature link, singing up to your opt-in page, and eventually purchasing your product or an affiliate product you promote. 2. Article marketing - Just focus on submitting ONE article a day to Ezinearticles.com FIRST, wait for it to be approved, and then submit that same article (with a little rephrasing to avoid having Google think it's duplicate content, which will bring your search engine rankings lower) to goarticles and articlesbase. 3. Blog commenting - Go on the TOP blogs in your niche and be the FIRST to comment on a blog post, making sure your comment is valuable and contributes to the post. So I just focus on these three and master them. And I would NOT underestimate the simplicity of these methods, because from my experience and from many of the most successful marketers today, simple techniques like these when executed bring amazing results. So, be consistent and persistent in your actions. And DON'T GIVE UP! Within a couple weeks you should have a decent number of high quality subscribers on your list (if you're building a list) to market to or sales if you choose to drive your traffic straight to a sales page. Hope this helps. Sonam P.S. If I were a newbie to Internet Marketing I would STAY AWAY from PPC in the begining and especially...Google Adwords!
I absolutely agree with you! Those sites which cater products and services that interest most of the people gets high traffic. Quality content can convince site visitors that your business posses highly competitive products / services. Creative presentation also attracts more visitors to buy your offering.
Do maximum advertising of your blog at right places - like high pr forum like this one. high pr blogs- postings etc.
Blog commenting and get links on pagerank sites. These are the best way to get traffic. Your articles also do plays a part.
