Web Traffic

Do you know of any rough guidelines for how Google results translate into webtraffic for a topic or person with that name? For example, when you type in "greg lemond" [the bike racer] in Google’s search bar, it shows 277,000 results and GregLeMond.com is the first website listed. Is there any way to guess how many hits his website gets [a month, a week, a year or any other time period] and what that relationship between the results and webtraffic might be [of course this would be a rough guideline]? If you don’t know the "answer," but you have a suggestion[s] for how I could find out that would be much appreciated. thanks!

Good question. Unfortunately, there is no one (free) tool that can give both keyword search volume and web site traffic estimates, but if you combine several tools it should give you a better idea of how much traffic a web site gets for a particular ranking in the search engine results pages (SERPs). To solve this problem, we’ll first need to use tools to get search volume and seasonality. Then we’ll need to use tools to get web site traffic estimates. Finally, we’ll need to apply learnings from eyetracking studies to understand what percentage of web site traffic each listing in the SERP gets, and apply that to our site traffic estimates.

It gets to be a complex problem and one that I can’t solve accurately in the time I have to answer this question. However, to illustrate, we would use a keyword tool like Keyword Discovery or WordTracker to estimate average monthly search volume for the keyword "greg lemond":

WT: 6600
KD (global premium):80

The wide variance between both of these numbers is due to the databases of the keyword tools and the seasonality of the keyword, which peaks in summer according to Google Trends. However, if we take either of these and apply the Cornell SERP study to them, we can say that 56% of those searches will go to the first listing on the page. Using one of the estimates, we can see that if there were 6600 searches in a month for "greg lemond", 56% or 3696 would have clicked on the first listing, 13% or 858 would have clicked on the second listing, 10% or 660 would have clicked on the third listing, and so forth.

We can then compare these figures to web traffic estimators like Quantcast, Alexa and Compete to see how accurate our estimates are.

Keep in mind, in this case the process would be more complex because of the seasonality of the keyword; but that gives you the methodology to be able to get estimates for search traffic on your own.

Thanks for the question, and best of luck!

Best,
Bryson

p.s. If you have deep pockets, comScore qSearch or Hitwise can provide fairly accurate estimates of web traffic without any math.

I have two web sites www.powrachutesuperstore.com and www.paesales.com. I don’t get much traffic on these sites and I would like to create a web site for my Art Work but if I don’t get much traffic it wouldn’t be worth it. I have put some of my work on e-bay without success. Please help if you can.

First, you should design your website in such a way that search engine robots (crawlers) find it easy to index your site. One your site is indexed, people can find your site on search engine for specific keywords.

There are some ways how to get indexed faster. You can use XML sitemap so that search engine reads them and indexes your page easily. For this, visit RORWEB.com to get a free XML sitemap.

If you want to know which keyword is performing well for your site according to different search engines, you can use MaxCounter.com – http://www.maxcounter.com

You should also submit your website to many free directories like (DMOZ.com) for more linkbacks. this wil give ur site a good impression towards popular search engines.

About 5 years ago I got involved into Internet / Network Marketing, like you, trying to find a better way of life. I wanted to quit my 9-5 doing things I HATED to do… and thought if I didn’t do something fast… then this would last the rest of my life. UNACCEPTABLE!

So I said… “What Can I Do To Gain FREEDOM?” Not just financially… but the freedom to do what I want to do, when I want to do it, how I want to do it and most importantly… Do what I LOVE!

So I decided to do WHATEVER it took… which lead me to buying into cookie cutter programs that didnt work for me, buying all sorts of E-Books, Watching seminars which ended up being a pitch-fest. IT GOT ANNOYING AND I GOT FRUSTRATED!

I kept at it for a few years, learning as much as I could about Network Marketing and MLM. Without my goal for freedom… I would have given up about 5 years ago (haha).

So i weeded through the tons of mis-information and all the systems that are out there… I didn’t really like what I saw! Talk about a bummer! SO… I linked up with some big players in the industry and got a clearer focus on what I needed to do…

HERES WHAT I DID:

I Created and Launched the Targeted Lead System and the Profusion Wealth System.

Both systems are incredibly user friendly yet very complex in the background.

The Targeted Lead System is a great system for multiple streams of RESIDUAL income.

The Profusion Wealth System great for multiple streams of PASSIVE income!

Having both Residual and Passive income streams is COMPLETE INCOME LEVERAGING! It doesnt get better than that in this industry!

If you comitt to EITHER one or BOTH of my systems then YOU are officially MY Student and I am your MENTOR, NOT YOUR SPONSOR. I will help you create and establish your first of multiple income streams! After that it pretty much goes on autopilot and earns YOU a RESIDUAL AND PASSIVE INCOME!

Now you may be wondering “WHY WOULD HE DO ALL THAT?” for me!?

The Answer is very simple… I love to help people go from financial slavery and stressful lives… to FREEDOM of MIND, BODY, AND OF COURSE INCOME. Nothing makes me happier than to bring happiness to not only you but your families as well, because a big reason I started getting into Network Marketing and MLM is so I could PROVIDE for my family and give them a better life as well!

The next reason I am very happy to help you… YOU will be a business partner of mine… And we help each other make our income… its not a ONE WAY STREET like A LOT of other systems are! EVERYONE BENEFITS!

Test drive the Targeted Lead System for ONLY $1.00 for 2 FULL WEEKS! What have you got to lose… If you dont like that system you can easily cancel your account with no commitment!

Sign up with the Profusion Wealth System before CHRISTMAS OF 2009 and pay the ENTRY LEVEL FEE of $150.00 and be put in the top tier enabling YOU to make $12,500 PER SIGN UP!

Try one of my systems today and become successful tomorrow!

I just started a selling my products (consumer electronics) online and I would like to know some cost effective ways of driving traffic to my site. I don’t want to continuously blog to try and get a search ranking. Even if I blog 24-7 can I really compete with the ad dollars saturating the internet in my market? There must be several quick ways to boost traffic and bring qualified leads to my site. Pay per click and redirects don’t seem to be doing the trick.

http://directtechdepot.com

First make sure your on-page factors are ok. The first thing I saw that you need to correct is your title tag which currently says

"Featured Products – Nintendo Wii, Mp3, GPS, DJ Gear,Computers Store"

The phrase "Featured Products" is a waste of space because no one really types featured products in their search engines if they want to buy Wii. If this was my site, I would use "DirectTechDepot: Brand Name Electronics Discount Prices"

You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481

6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article " How To Sell More on the Web: 30 Tips To Increase Conversion Rates For An Ecommerce Site " http://www.powerhomebiz.com/092006/ecommerce.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.

7. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:

Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/…
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/

I am currently giving away case of Cobra beer every Monday. I have put up a advert on my home page http://www.shantibraintree.co.uk… At present I cant seem to find my site listing in the top. If any can help sorting my site out for a small fee or so please email me your details as I wish to find my site on yahoo & google search on top page. Please kindly give me some tips.

I agree with answer no2, we all answered this yesterday and now you are spamming your website on here, you got away with it for one day and had a day of free advertising, now you will start getting a negative approach to your website if you carry on. Maybe if you did all the changes that were suggested yesterday then you could ask what people thought after, but you can’t just advertise your domain name in your heading day after day, sorry but I am only trying to help you here.

You was given great advice yesterday and really it will not be until you clear all the adverts and different services of your main page that the search engine spiders will realise what you are really about, no small fee is going to get you to the top listing if you can not listen to advice when it is given to you in all good faith and for free.
