How Many Website Views To Make A sale?

depends what your selling. I find with adsense clicks I get 2-3 clicks for every 1000 visitors. The amazon sales are less maybe 1 sale every 10 000 or more. More experienced warriors may have better statistics for you. This is what my results have been. The more targetted the traffic the higher these numbers will be. When I target niche specific traffic from youtube or facebook groups or yahoo answers or forums or whatever I get higher click rates.

Vanny,

Many factors figure into that, the main one is the niche and keywords you are targeting. Some do better with articles than others. Also, time of the year may play into it. Generally speaking, if 1% of the people who visit your site spend money with you, you have a winner. Tweak it little by little and then keep driving more traffic from other sources and see which one pulls the best.

The smart-ass answer is at least one. Unfortunately, it's as good an answer as any without knowing some other things.

Let's start with the end that makes the money - the conversion rate for the sales site. We'll keep the math very simple, and recognize that it's all hypothetical.

Let's say the sales site converts one out of every 100 visitors, on the average, to a buyer.

To get a sale a day, on average, you would have to send 100 visitors per day to the sales site.

Working back a step, we'd need to know how many views does it take to get one click to the sales site. Let's say, for simplicity's sake, that it's the same 1 out of every hundred.

So far, we need to send 100 visitors per day to the sales site to make a sale, and we need 100 viewers to get 1 visitor. Multiply those, and you'd need 100x100 or 10,000 views per day to average 1 sale per day.

Unless you own the sale site, there's not much you can do to directly influence the conversion rate. The good news is that you can tweak and test your content and calls to action to send those viewers both at a higher rate and in a more open-to-buy (or pre-sold) frame of mind.

You can also directly affect the number of people who view your articles. Once you can afford it, you can test all kinds of traffic sources, some of which can send you almost unlimited numbers of viewers.

You should shoot for a minimum of 100 views and one sale, or 1% conversion rate. As a minimum. Tweak and test to get there and above.

Across my sites I'm seeing a click through rate to sales pages (I do affiliate marketing) of 24.7% over the past few months. So almost 1 in 4 visitors is a least looking at the product sales page. Of that 24.7%, 0.8% is actually making a purchase.

Therefore the conversion from original unique visitor to purchaser is more like 0.2%

That means 500 visitors for every sale. I'm happy with the 25% click through to sales pages, but the conversion on the sales pages seems woefully low. I'm sourcing different sales pages and testing on a rotation basis to see if I can drive that up. Quality of sales page itself is outside my control, but it's my decision as to which products to promote, and an evaluation of the effectiveness of the sales page is part of that decision-making process.

I have no idea if my numbers are good, bad, or indifferent, but that is my experience in May and June.

Conversion rates for review sites are better. I get around 2-3 sales every 100 visitors o my site.

If you have great products, at a great deal, applying to your website, then you'll have higher conversations rates. I've experienced a 17% conversation rate for my blog for a clickbank product that was worth $37. Also, products with trails attract visitors, and may get you more sales.

Reviews work pretty well. It's does depend on what product you are selling and what quality traffics you get with those articles.

It depends on your landing page as well - make sure that your landing page is a converting one or even the best traffic won't convert.
