USA traffic converts better or is a myth?

It depends upon what you are selling, but for me, and the things that I sell, I
get better conversions with traffic for the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia,
and Singapore.

I make sales to other places but they are relatively rare.

Those are the countries that target in most of my marketing.

As far as no sales from 100 click, that's not a large enough
number of clicks to really tell you anything. With U.S. traffic,
you might get no sales in your first 300 clicks, and then 10
sales in the next 50 clicks, so you look at a big enough sample
size to give you a meaningful average. Even within a country,
it would depend upon how that traffic was generated.

Your focus should be mainly on Tier 1 traffic. This is usually the group that has the money and resources to spend on products and services.

Tier 1:
US, UK, CA, AU, NZ

Not saying people don't spend at all in Tier 2 or 3, but it's usually more difficult to convert.

But there is more to it than just promoting a product. You have to split test, make sure you copy is right, you are targeting the right market, and making the necessary tweaks you need to get consistent sales.

I've got sales from all over, but yes majority come from US, AUS, and the UK.

US Traffic converts better simply because they understand English. Since majority of the offers are in English it is only logical to get a higher conversion from U.S or T1 countries as stated above.

However do not limit yourself to these countries as there are offers for spanish, india etc that can also be a good source of income. Not to mention that these markets has less competition and cheaper traffic.

It doesn't necessarily CONVERT BETTER... but it is definitely WORTH MORE for most niches.

Many advertisers pay more for US/CANADA/UK traffic.

Need proof?Just check CPA networks. Compare international payouts to USA/CAN/UK payouts.

Most of the time, not even close!

I would say many countries in Europe, and also Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are just as high quality.



One way to slice the cake is to say non-English speaking countries produce less than desirable traffic.

(But it would be easy to refute this case, so everything depends upon your goals and marketing strategies which should be a given).

If you put out offers in THEIR LANGUAGE to a Tier 2 or below country and can get a lot of traffic to it, then you can convert better than some English offers in Tier 1 countries. So your offer needs to be targeted specifically to the people you are trying to reach.

I am looking to buy targeted traffic for several upcoming email campaigns starting here in the United States first. Do you own or have sources or access to where I can buy inexpensive targeted U.S. traffic. Lots of U.S. traffic cheap. As we all know large amounts of targeted traffic is the life blood to a successful email campaign. Can you please help me?

Is traffic from the US better?

In general, yes it is.

Why is it better you ask? Well the US is the most affluent part of the world with the majority having the very basic requirements to conduct online business on any level ie. such as disposable income, credit cards (Paypal) and an overall higher level of education.

All of that equates to higher converting, higher quality traffic to your offers.

I need Real Human traffic not robots, I have 3 sites one is adult novelty site, a name brand perfume site, a site that sells general product lines like auto items, pet supply's, so please tell me where I can buy Real Human traffic not for them to push on the button and go away but will review a site for at least a minute??

Thanks,

Money is in Tier 1 : US, UK, CA, AU, NZ
But still, you need to a market research which depends on the products you are selling. Best of luck

I think it is not a myth. People from USA have increasing trend of buying stuff online. Also traffic UK, Canada converts better as compared to other companies.

What makes USA traffic converts is because of 1. exposure to the internet 2. The high use of credit or debit card 3. relevant product 4. type of niche 5. targeting right people.
So most countries where they have these features above with good level of it then the conversion should be good.

have u tested it yet?

i hypothesize no, it all depends on the offer and the traffic.

u have better chances of selling chopsticks in japan then in the US

etc..

Americans are just really easy to sell to, their social structure is based on living the American Dream, so products and advertisements advertising a shortcut have pretty high conversion rates.. and they're just generally really easy to market to.

Just to let you know: few days ago I promoted some free trial CPA offers - incentive ones that requires a credit card, but only free trials meaning that people won't pay in trial period.

Well, I promoted using adhitz, a PPC system, however more than 90% of traffic was from tier 3 countries like India or Pakistan. I got 130 clicks and 0 conversions...

This makes me cry. LoL

I'll try to advertise on bing ads this week and will target only USA.

Yeah, they will let publishers post ads anywhere, like PTC sites and traffic exchanges. Slightly better than bots but not much.

Some smart answers here already for the OP to think about.

I asked this same question a couple of years ago, and got slammed for it. I got the feeling I was being accused of racism for even asking the question. Really, the question relates to demographics and conversion rates in different countries.

Most of my sales and conversions (even for free CPA offers) have come from the so-called Tier 1 countries, i.e. UK/USA/Australia/NZ/Canada --

Germany and France also convert well, but of course you have to sell to them in their own language, which can be tricky, unless you outsource your sales copy for your landing pages, etc.

Most of my conversions in other countries, such as Cambodia, Vietnam, Romania, Mexico, Colombia, Mexico, Honduras, India, etc. have come from promoting free CPA offers or to sign up to AdultFriendFinder for free, but even then, it is a struggle to even convert them on free stuff.

My theory is that most of the Tier 1 countries are a little more trusting about buying things online, giving their email address, etc. and that most of the non-Tier 1 countries are more cautious and suspicious about buying things online or even giving up their email address for a free offer.

My 2 cents.

I think BING ADS can definitely be a better traffic source to convert more visitors into leads and/or buyers... My experience with ADHITZ was also not positive...

I actually find USA converts worse than many "second tier" countries like UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

The challenge is USA often has far more volume.

Whenever I have the option to choose my geographic location, whether it be a traffic exchange such as Traffic Swarm , or a pay per click campaign like Bing or Facebook, I always ALWAYS select the United States first and foremost. Not saying I would exclude other countries, but 85% of worldwide sales I have always earned have come from America and then all the second tier countries such as Canada, Britain, Australia, etc comprise of all the leftovers.

More disposable money in the USA, with credit available pretty much to anyone on demand contributes to this country's favorability imho.

I'll let you into a little secret. Try Swiss traffic, it converts better than anything. Small country but they spend like crazy.
Worst traffic is Mexican by the way (for me at least).

*For the benefit of any Americans reading this post Switzerland is a country in Europe (Europe is a group of countries to the north of Africa)*

That depends on what you are offering and what your target audience is. If you are selling something for a good price and your conversion page is trust worthy then people will surely buy as they do on our firm's website.

Very usefull replies, thank you all. Anyone tried to advertise on PTC sites targeting USA only? I know this is a very low quality traffic, but it's also very cheap, some sites sell 1,000 usa visits for 2 bucks or less.

I also remember a guy who owned 2 big PTC sites and he used to earn about $4-5k monthly with clickbank.

It totally depends on whether you are able to reachout to people who need your stuff most. I have sold to non-English speaking countries and also to US traffic. A lot of things need to be factored in actually. If you are selling a Walmart coupon US traffic is better, but if you are selling Visa services Ttier 3 countries will work better. That's just from my own experience though.
