I seem to be getting thousands of unique visitors every week, but only get about 7-8 a day to signup. What could I do to "grab" more of the ones that just come and then leave? Thanks!

Are your thousands of uniques coming from traffic generation services? A lot of 1 page views per unique visitor is usually and indicator they never wanted to be there in the first place, or were maybe redirected to your site. IMeanWebHosting 03-29-2005, 01:48 PM A good majority of them come from www.findmyhosting.com (my site is rated the highest there) and most of the rest come from google adwords. thomas.smith 03-29-2005, 01:51 PM How much is a few thousand and where are they coming from (i.e. PPC program on a site, search engine etc...) ? thomas.smith 03-29-2005, 01:55 PM What is your visitor/conversion ratio ? Like 1 customer per 100 uniques etc. IMeanWebHosting 03-29-2005, 02:16 PM I'd say about 3/100 I overestimated a bit. I checked awstats I'm getting about 300 UNIQUE visitors a day and getting about 8 of those 300 to signup on average. stokes_83 03-29-2005, 02:18 PM I would say 3% is not too bad at all. Most people report 1%-5% ratios on targetted visitors. thomas.smith 03-29-2005, 02:27 PM 3 out of 100 is absolutely ok... IMeanWebHosting 03-29-2005, 02:45 PM Awesome, thanks guys. It just sounds measley to the uneducated (myself), but if you guys say there's nothing wrong with that percentage, I'll live with it. Thanks for all of the help! :) Redcoat 03-29-2005, 02:49 PM Bohica, sounds like you are moving in the right direction. a 1/30 sign up ratio is great. I just took a quick look through your site. Looks pretty good. Sorry for adding another unique visitor that didn't sign up :) IMeanWebHosting 03-29-2005, 03:17 PM :emlaugh: Not a problem at all. I was thinking of having a custom template made because I was worried about the conversion ratio, but I guess I'll stick with my template I have. Thanks for all of the input guys! |
