What Traffic is Not - Traffic is NOT sales.
You Need Traffic That Converts Into Sales
Without having the conversions to go along with the traffic that is coming to our site, we end up with what is called “traffic death”.

3. Traffic Death Leads to Some
Serious Issues
Most sites that do not convert well are not properly Search Engine Optimized. You will not get your site picked up by search engines.
You won’t be able to use paid traffic methods, because you will not be able to justify using them.
You will stop getting JV Partners and the ones you have will quit promoting for you.

4. Conversions
What is your conversion rate for each traffic source that you have? Do you know which sources of traffic are giving you the best conversions?
What is your conversion rate for each keyword that you have?
Do you know what pages of your website that you are losing your visitors on?

5. Do you know at what point you are losing your visitor when they leave your sales page?
What page of your website results in the best conversion and are making the sales?
Do you make the sale and have early un-subscribes?
What follow up message in your follow up series is causing them to leave and which follow up message causes them to buy?

6. Google Analytics
A good tool to recommend is Google Analytics.
Google Analytics is a free software tool that will help you really take a good look at the action of your visitor on your website.
It helps you get to the root of the problem that is keeping you from getting the conversions you need.

7. Split Testing A/B Split Testing
Testing gives you the opportunity to maximize conversion rates, solve problems, and challenge assumptions.
A/B Split Testing
A/B Split testing is really nothing more than determining which elements on a page are helping the performance or conversion of your web page, and which of the elements are not and could be changed to help.

8. What Do I Test? Don’t Quit Testing
"A" in the equation refers to the original or the control page.
"B" refers to an alternative element or to the challenger version.
What Do I Test?
Headlines, header graphics, page graphics, calls-to-action, offers, colors, fonts, or sales copy price points, actual sales copy, etc.
Don’t Quit Testing
