Daily FREE Traffic Tips

• January 31, 2008

I’ll be posting daily traffic tips here. While most of these tips apply to mainstream, they can be tweaked to apply to adult site marketing as well.

WARNING: I don’t claim to be a SUPER expert in traffic (although I do run the old traffic blog http://justtraffic.blogspot.com ), so take everything with a grain of salt. I’m sure many of you are more expert at this material than myself. This thread is just my attempt at trying to GIVE SOMETHING BACK to the community and help fellow webmasters. All CONSTRUCTIVE comments would be greatly welcome.

Here’s tip #1:

Always view and analyze your traffic logs. Assuming that you’ve put in SOME effort promoting your site, there will be SOME traffic going to your site already. I use Google Analytics but there’s many other free counters/stats programs out there.

Figure out which sites send you traffic. Ask the following questions:

How much traffic are they sending?
Where on their page are they sending traffic from?
What keywords are they using to send traffic to me?

Some tips:

LESS can sometimes be MORE

If a "general niche" site is sending you traffic through a niche keyword, you need to seize this opportunity by determining how "sticky" the traffic is (ie., is that stream of traffic sticking around your site or do they just enter and leave immediately?)

If you’re getting non-sticky traffic but get quite a bit of it, try changing the target page to something more relevant to the niche. Keep tweaking until the time spent by the user on your site increases.

Less can be more if your site acts as an effective site for targeted terms/traffic. Sometimes, rifle shots achieve more (with higher $ per click) than shotgun blasts.

If a "specific niche" site is sending you traffic, pay careful attention to the keyword links on that site that are sending you traffic. Some may be longtail keywords that you’d like to build specific pages for.
