What constitutes 'good' traffic figures

Hi Guys

Reading through some of the threads about buying and selling traffic, a lot of people seem to be asking for 2-3000 unique visitors per day.

Do regular sites, outside the porn or internet marketing advice niche, actually get those type of figures?

My two little male and female health sites are each clocking up 50+ views per day and I was quite proud of my efforts after two months.

In the real world, away from the giants, what would most people consider average traffic?

Joanna,

I'm not sure if that can be answered with any real accuracy. Too many different factors involved.

If you are talking about your health sites and you're talking strictly organic traffic then I would guess that
50+ might be a little on the low side to make the sites profitable. But like I said - it's really only a guess.

'good' traffic figures == engaging visitors (more than 1 page view per visit). There is no much use of the visitor that presses "Back" mediately after getting to your site

 

I'd look at conversions more than traffic. You could have a million visitors but if none convert, might as well have no visitors.

 

You cannot put a figure on it different niches require different amounts of traffic as bnwebm123 said its all about conversion , even that depends on what your site is about Eg Im sure youtube did not result in any conversions (except you count members ) but it still made its creators mega rich. Also a website selling real estate in a particular area needs very little traffic and maybe one or 2 conversions a week to make a lot of money while a website selling e books will need bucket loads of traffic.

 

buying off traffic is TOTALLY USELESS. Rather you would invest that money in hardcore marketing.

 

Bought traffic is beyond Totally Useless! - Its that bad!

 

It's not about the quantity but rather about the QUALITY of traffic ( unless your revenue model is totally adsense / CPM driven )

Good traffic is the traffic that converts , completes your goals. I've seen sites with 30K UV's per month that earn hardly $100 p.m and i've also seen sites with just 3K UV's per month and earning $500 p.m

In a nutsell, "good traffic" constitutes the traffic that fulfills your set goals in analytics.
