Traffic Equal Sales???
by: Willie Crawford
Everything
being equal, more traffic to your website
translates into more sales. Hence you read a
lot lately about ways to generate more
traffic to your website.
I'd like to
begin by saying that more traffic does not
necessarily equal more sales. Your website
can attract tons of traffic for the freebies
and if it is not conducive to making sales,
you will probably not make more sales. Being
conducive to more sales means offering
quality, needed products at a good price,
and making it easy to order these products.
This point must always be kept in mind.
Everything is
not usually equal - especially if you are
offering the same affiliate products as
everyone else. The one thing that
distinguishes your site from all the others
is the relationship you have with your site
visitors. Given the chance to buy the same
product from hundreds of sites, most people
will buy from someone they know, trust, and
feel some type of connection with. This is
true for me and I am sure it is true for
most of you. So part of your focus everyday
must be on being responsive to customers
reaching out to you. They reach out with
questions, comments, requests for help, and
other notes. If you are not responding
promptly to these little notes you are
missing a very big part of the picture.
Assuming you
are busy building relationships with your
current customer-base, then your next focus
should be on attracting new visitors to your
website. Techniques that have proven
themselves to me include ezine ads,
signature files, banner exchanges, links
exchanges, notices on bulletin boards, news
and discussion group postings and ezine
articles. You should be using as many of
these as practical.
Targeted ezine
ads work great. However, you must constantly
refine and test your ads. Change the
headline and see what the difference in
response rate is. It is a never-ending
process of improving and refining. However,
when you get an ad that works great, be very
slow to change it.
Banner
exchanges are the same - you must constantly
work to improve your banner. A good
attention grabbing banner with a compelling
message will produce click-thrus. An
animated banner will generally attract more
attention, and with the right message will
compel the reader to click on it. With
banners - the old warning - no more than 2
banners per page. More than this will
probably slow the page down and you won't
benefit from the click- thrus since the
surfer won't wait for your page to finish
loading.
I also
exchange a few links from time to time.
After all - your visitor is going to
eventually leave, so you may as well trade
traffic with complimentary websites. Just
make sure that the trade benefits both
webmasters, and your visitors. Trading links
with a disreputable or questionable site
harms longterm customer relationships.
While on
links, free-for-all links pages also produce
traffic to your website although not the
flood that many hope for. The key here is to
post to as many sites as possible since it
is a numbers game. For this reason, I
recommend using automatic submission
software or programs such as linkomatic. The
drawback with posting to hundreds or
thousands of free-for-all links pages is
that many of them will send you an
acknowledgement message. To handle this
flood of email, I recommend having an email
address that you use just for this purpose.
That way, you can sort through these emails
at your leisure. Some of them do contain
worthwhile offers.
Posting to
discussion groups and newsgroups pulls in
some traffic too. The key is to offer
helpful information and then a signature
file with a compelling teaser. Vary your
signature file until you find one that
works. Think of your signature file just as
you do any other headline. It should tell
the customer what benefits he will gain from
clicking through to your website.
The final
method of driving traffic to your website
that I will touch upon is writing ezine
articles. It's no secret that a well-written
ezine article establishes your experise and
can generate many visits. Getting an article
published in one of the larger ezines will
generate hundreds of quality visitors. Many
of these will bookmark your site and become
repeat visitors. This is what you are really
aiming for. Look for a topic that you do not
feel is adequately explained. Do some
research and write an article explaining it
better. You have produced a very valuable
article and your readers notice this.
Readers notice the difference in the quality
of articles, and hence your level of
expertise.
Do all of the
above things and your will increase traffic
to your website. Keep in touch and work to
build relationships with new and repeat
visitors. Work to constantly refine your
website and you should see a steady increase
in sales. It is a process of gradually
building up steam - while constantly
improving.
