Traffic

Hi Matt,
Your article inspired me to place my question, I need desperately website traffic!
The traffic I created seems to be worthless and not enough.
So what can I do?

Not to speak over Matt's suggestion but is it your traffic that's worthless or your sales page/web copy?

If you're getting traffic that's not converting, you should always consider split testing different sales pages.

This way you know whether or not you're bringing in the right traffic or if it's just not converting because your web copy isn't cutting it.

So... have you split tested multiple pages?

Where is your current traffic coming from?

Do you use SEO practices for organic search ranking?

Do you at least have an opt in form on your page to collect potential customers email addresses?

Just curious where you stand if you think traffic is the key.

Cheers,

thanks for your interest!
Yes, on one side it's my traffic which is not enough and on the other side could it be also my web copy, I'm not sure.

The fact is that I've two sites which get relatively good traffic, one is a blog about personal development which gets about 1000 uniques monthly, this site serves to bring traffic to my main site (about meditation & yoga).

From the meditation site ( which gets about 600-700 uniques monthly by its own) sometimes I sell something, but for sure, that one needs a redesign, since it is some year old and it could be made much better.

Split testing have I never done because the traffic seemed me not to be enough, at least is it only 20-30 unique visitors daily.
Meanwhile the blog has sold anything until now.

Over this, I've 4 other sites, one about health & beauty (200 uniques monthly), two blogs about small business and affiliate marketing (together about 500 uniques monthly) and one other site about registry cleaner reviews (about 200-300 uniques monthly).

My traffic sources, well for the meditation and personal development site, parts come from Facebook, where I've also a page for personal development, and parts is Se traffic.

For the other sites is it mainly Se-traffic, consider that that are blogs so the traffic is coming also from other sides like delicious, blogging.com, my bloglog and more.

However, I've tried to optimize for Se's (the static sites) and got also some good results but with the repeating changes fromthe side of the Se's my sites are dropped and with that the traffic.

Optins do I handle through my blogs with blog updates and Feedblitz from where my subscribers are autmatically up dated, but have not a big subscriber list.
Beside this do I also some other promotion like ezines or message boards and so on but the resulting traffic from there doesn't seem to be very useful.

That is it, more or less, therefore I was thinking if I could implement traffic to my sites could I go further and start with the things you're talking about.

Thanks for your interest
greetings
