A while back I was fooling around with a blog about dating, mainly guys complaining about women or dumb things men do trying to date women, etc. I made a bunch of funny/weird blog posts on different subjects sometimes using "colorful" language and out of nowhere some of those posts started to rank in Google.

I'm averaging 5000 - 7000 visitors per month for several months now but they're all from weird "non-buying" keywords.

Has anyone manage to convert traffic from non-buying keywords? Especially in the dating niche.

I want to advertise some dating products but I feel most of what's out there is complete crap!

Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

First off, I don't think there is such thing as "non buying keywords" There used to be the notion that there are 2 types of traffic, there are researchers, and there are buyers, BUT in the end, its the same thing. Its a matter of your sites marketing and language that converts the researcher to a buyer, and also makes the buyers buy.

Im not about to tell you to create your own dating product, but that is an option. I would personally put the money into some research and find the best product you can. The more comfortable YOU are with the product, the more able you will be able to "pre-sell" it.

If they won't buy they can at least click. So if you want a "sales" oriented site go for finding products that your audience might want to buy. Otherwise just join some ad networks and make your site into an informational type site and users can simply click on ads within and/or surrounding your content. Either way - You Make Money! Also don't forget that you can always create your own products/services and add it to the mix if you think mostly "crap" is out there and you can do better.

Its called "Targeting" and maybe next time you can start you own thread in a forum sub section that better reflects the context of your question. such as Social Media

It 's still the small number, your number can consider taking 150 users/day. You need 1k/day to make sure the conversion .

I was thinking about that, I guess it's better than nothing.

It is the same thing as optizing your site for keywords like torrent. You'll get a lot of traffic but most will be useless. Based on what that traffic searches for, I would promote a few relevant offers. I guess it is porn or adult dating, right?

First, check from google analytics. What keyword did people type in the search engine to get to your site? And study that keyword. What is the motive behind that keyword? What is the problem that people are facing that make them type those keyword.

Then, you need some 'real estate' to monetize your blog.
- A product
Pick a product that really suits you. You can find them on ClickBank. A lot of great products over there that I think you will like.
- A landing page
You need this to start collecting the email addresses of people who will be interested in your product.
- Autoresponder sequence
Then you need to send some follow up to these prospects email.

CONVERSION

To convert traffic into buyers, what you need to do is to TELL them, "Hey I got a solution here for your problem". Below are the things you can do to do that:
1. Turn your blog into a your lead generation powerhouse. That's where you will make most of your money.
- Put a gigantic banner at the side of your blog that really attracts attention. This banner leads to your landing page.
- Put eye popping notification bar above your blog, also pointing to your landing page.
- Put a lightbox popup on your blog. This lightbox can be a squeeze page as well.

2. Test 'bribes'
- Write some kind of valuable report that you can give away in exchange for email addresses.

3. Direct prospects to OTO

4. Email them everyday.

5. To improve conversion, TEST and TEST and TEST absolutely every single thing about your funnel, starting from your blog (sidebar, popup, and notification bar), your squeeze page, your emails.
- Don't forget to test your headlines, and marketing messages.

Testing is the KEY to high conversion and it's the one skill that will make you the most money in the long run.
You don't have to test many things at once. In fact A/B test just 1 or 2 things for a week. Then once you got the winner, test other things.

You will absolutely kill it with high conversion rate by making testing a habig. It will put you head and shoulder above the competition, my friend!
