Here's how to get lots of traffic and good conversions

Well said. So where is the evidence ?

The evidence is the screenshot obviously. I know I have seen similar statistics on some of my sites and I was pretty surprised that, while I thought that I was just getting traffic form Google, there were so much more traffic sources.

So what other sources does your traffic come from.

Yeah, don't rely on Google....

I totally agree with you. You don't have to rely only on Google.

Definitely agree with diversification.. relying on one traffic source is never a "reliable" idea.

PS: We can still see what's blurred out =P

There are way too many people that think that Google is the only way that they should go with so they work their tail off to do SEO.

OK, great.... So it is bringing you traffic and you are happy. Don't think that this will be the case for a long time. Your site may appear on page one but once Google takes it off, then what?

You need to have a few places working for you at the same time. If not, you are setting yourself for total disaster.

But a lot of that traffic is generated by contact lists, and where did those contacts come from? How many of those people who shared their email with you originally discovered your site via Google?

Don't depends on the Google as the only traffic source. Because Google always updates its algorithms and you have no control for it.

Diversity many traffic sources (include Google) then build a list and so your business will be stable.

That is one perfect issue that other marketers don't know about, they are only relying on what they know Google can bring them good chance, it is a good way to know more other options than the usual thing we rely on, but eventually it fails us.

No surprise at all.Definitely there are number of ways to drive traffic besides good ranked keywords in Google.I saw my conversion rate is good enough from my email marketing than getting ton of free traffic from Google.

If you cant get traffic from Google, focus on indirect ways to get traffic to your site from it. There are a ton of ways to do this.

Never put your eggs in one basket (wise old saying) diversify there are many many traffic alternative even if you have money for advertising. But hey John I'm blown away by your screen shot I didn't think google would come in at 15 but... even if it did your site screeny proves it pays to diversify. Traffic comes from all forms and many sizes.

To those who are not yet really mixing it up in terms of where your traffic comes from and rely heavily on Google, do you want to wait until Google does its dance and shakes things up a bit leaving your site struggling.
For some it may take the shock of this to start to use different sources but one way or another you are best to start using new sources such as social - which is incredibly easy and a lot more fun than creating backlinks on blogs and on google.

There are numerous channels online.

There are many tactics we can use in each of these channels online.

Google ironically has had excellent exposure with its branding, positioning and adoption....

...but that doesnt proclude other channels and tactics from working.

Some people may just use the channel of social networking for 100% of their traffic.

And that might just be using facebook. Others might use Linkedin.

Others might using document sharing sites, and not do any SEO at all.

Each to their own...

...and if the approach you're taking works - the good luck to you.

nice johnny and agree.

1) You only have to look around we are in 2012 now, nearly 2013 and there are 999 different ways to get traffic. Some of these are going to convert better than others, so its worth giving them a long hard test.

2) Google is google and will always be google.... LOL. Ok let me explain. They think they have the monopoly and probably do, but dont let that take away from you and your business exploiting other ways, search engines and tactics that does not have to rely on google itself.

3) Social media is quickly taking over, and videos for me are having such a massive success, and you do not have to rely on google much for this, maybe only titles and SEO a bit. But there is a viral aspect to these that can bring you a flood of traffic, optins and sales for you business. Too many people simply look past this thinking its only for friends, and to catch up with loves ones and family. No there are people killing it with YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK alone. So use them.

People may be killing it with YouTube, but enjoy it while you can.
Big changes are on their way.
Hopefully people have optimized their videos and kept within YouTube rules.

By no means should you rely on Google traffic. They don't have anything invested in you.

They don't care if your business goes dry over night.

I prefer payed traffic every day of the week.

This is EXCELLENT advice!

To maintain a long term business - you need multiple sources of traffic. This way if one fails - for example Google changing its algorithm, then you are not totally out of business.

One of the fastest ways to get traffic though is have other people market for you! Build a list of raving fans - then they will promote your products or services.

This is excellent stuff. Yes, it is true. We should not only rely on Google to get traffic for the site. There are many source which are very useful. But, don't forget that most of the people come from Google only.

So what's your problem? Are you not ranking well for any good search phrases?

I used to spend a lot of time working to make google like me - sometimes their changes would help me and sometimes they didn't - then I realized that less than 1% of my traffic comes from google searches. Most of it is from social media and other sources. Guess what? I don't worry about it anymore.
