]]> Comment on Want More Website Traffic – Let’s find out here !! by plasticguy http://webmastertech.wordpress.com/2007/08/02/want-more-website-traffic-lets-find-out-here/#comment-5 plasticguy Fri, 03 Aug 2007 19:10:18 +0000 http://webmastertech.wordpress.com/2007/08/02/want-more-website-traffic-lets-find-out-here/#comment-5 I can attest to the value of google ads. Once you realize that the game around bidding on key words then the rest falls into place. In fact, we were getting so many hits we had to limit our daily budget (which is all handled by google so you won't spend more than you want to). The challenge now is understanding how that traffic converts into business - more phone calls? more email inquiries? And, how do we know if such inquiries are being treated with the same respect that a current account gets... It doesn't really cost you anything to try the google ads... pick a budget - $10 a day, $5 a day... go through the motions and see what you catch.. kind of like fishing... but, remember, it's all in the key words... use the google key word tool to find out what phrases people use to find a business like yours... or better, yet - look at the search phrases people are using to find blogs about what you sell. We're into our 5th week at THE PLASTIC SPORK BLOG (http://distributionbizwiz.wordpress.com/) and now attract 90-150 readers a day... it's all about the content...blogs register on search engines within minutes vs days or weeks for website content. DO WE USE GOOGLE ADS TO GET MORE READERS, OR AWARENESS OF OUR BUSINESS, VIA THE BLOG? You may find, like we are, that there's a lot of people looking for middle of the road info about what you might sell but not necessarily interested in acquiring your goods or service... our lot in life is plastic... the big search on right now has nothing to do with what we sell.. it's all about recycling and bioplastics. Guess it comes down to the purpose and scope of what you're trying to accomplish. No question - SEARCH ENGINE WORD ADS WILL GET YOU TRAFFIC - but, can you convert visits into $$$? We've gone from 1,200 people a month on our site to 6,000 in the last few months -but, are sales up? Yes. But what can we do to attribute what sales to what source? That's a question we're working on. One approach to analysing your conversion capabilities is using an on-line survey tool, like we use SurveyMoneky.com - 5 well worded questions can identify if people are just surfin around, if they were interested and they found what they wanted, or if they were interested and our website wasn't convincing enough to get them to make a call. The latter insight is very, very important. Maybe you need to rethink your whole web presence BEFORE getting more people to come to it - kind of like advertising a big sale in the newspaper and then having people arrive with nothing on the shelves to buy.
