My site has been 3 months old. This is the number of unique visitors each month

Jan 011--------65
Feb 011--------169
March 011------49

I was expecting that I would have at least one sale on February since 169 people visited my website on february.

How many visits do you get to your website monthly that convert into sales?

    Hi Bozigian

    Well done for taking action and getting visitors.

    Sadly it boils down to more than just visitors, though without them, you won't get a lot.

    Without knowing, what are you trying to do? Collect names? pre sell them? Send them straight to a sales page? Get them to blah, blah, blah.

    Visitors alone don't tell me a lot. Perhaps a bit more information on what you're trying to accomplish and I could help you a bit more.

    Maybe 1 per 100 uniques. You may not have a great sales page though, depends on the niche.

      Well when people come into my website.

      It has a review of basketball programs. Then if someone clicks on the program then they go to the squeeze page of the person who made the program

    1. you need more traffic
    2. more TARGETED traffic think about it like this. HOW does that review / sqeezepage solve problems for the visitors. The more you know their problems the more you know how to reach them the more chances for conversion.

    Keep in mind that Google is a billion dollar company and they are doing 14-17%.

    The ave is .01% to 1% which MAY seem ssmall but it depends on which niche your in and how many people immidiatly "get" what your offering and how it solves their problem uniquely.

    Making a sale means getting your offer/product/service out to those who are looking for it.

    One of the easiest way to make a sale is to solve a problem and offer a solution. As long as you market the solution to those that are looking the "amount" of traffic starts to matter less and less.

    Potentially you can make a sale with just one person looking at the offer. This whole "it's just a numbers game" is such bull ****. It's like this guy I once worked for. "The more people you talk to the better opportunity you have at making a sale!"

    I firmly disagree with that ridiculous thinking. Why waste your time talking to people that "might" be interested when you could be sourcing out people who are "desperately" in need of your solution.

    Focus less on general traffic and more on targeted traffic. The sales will come.

    BloggingPro is absolutely correct. Targeted traffic is what is important here.. if your visitors are not interested in your niche/product, they will not be buyers, and are basically useless to you sales-wise.

      One of my sources of traffic is ezine articles. I have around 21 click throughs for my articles. But I am having problems with ezine at the moment.

      If a reader clicks through one of my articles and links to my website, is that a targeted traffic visitor?

        That is a hard question to answer for two reasons. We don't know what your exact offer is and we can't see the article. Think of targeted traffic in the sense of those that are interested in your product, service or article.

        A great example is this. I run a site that is focused on high heels. On said site I built a list by giving away a weekly newsletter full of coupons for deals on high heels.

        To get traffic to the site I find niche-related message boards and sites and promote my site where I'm building the list. That is targeted traffic. I am going to where the people who are interested in high heels are at and marketing my product to them (which is the newsletter, among other things).

    It's certainly not untargeted, but it depends on how you marketed your site in your article's resource box. What sorts of claims do the resource box / anchor text make? If they say "click here to make a million dollars" and your site sells dog food, then no, these are not targeted visitors. But if you sell dog food and the anchor text is "click here to get cheap dog food," the people (non-bots) who click that link are targeted visitors.

    When I was starting out I was told you want to aim for 1 in 100 visitors to 1 in 200 visitors for a beginners conversion rate

    You would want to be getting 169 a day, not a month to see some decent results

    Agreed what someone else said on Targetted Traffic - I have sometimes had 23 visitors in a day and made a couple of sales.
