This has been making me money....
 

I have been trying the strategy below on a few (free) sites i use to promote my pay site http://zgasm.com and im seeing positive results.

You need Google analytics.

The "strategy" is this....

• Collect stats for a while
• After a few weeks (i use months) goto Traffic Sources > Referring Sources
• Sort by visits
• Change "Show Rows" to 100
• You should now have a list of your top 100 referring sources sorted by the # of visitors they have sent you...
• From here i eye ball the sites that send the highest % of new visitors.

I then force traffic to sites that match this criteria:

• 89% or higher new visitors
• High "Ave time spent on site"
• High pages/visit

The whole thing takes like 2 min max and i do it 100% by eyeballing. I suppose its just a productivity measurement, but the past 3-4 times i have tried this, i noticed increased sign ups over the next couple days.


Does anyone do anything similar/along those lines? Got any suggestions?

Nice sharing with us mate... Hope you do got a lot of sales.

yep yep ;)

:thumbsup:thumbsup

sounds about right

what's eye ball?

That's what I do to.

it means...
glance over the numbers and approximate rather than looking @ the numbers on a really granular level.

Thx for sharing =)

no prob mang

Uhmmmm... You don't need Google Analytics to do that... But that does seem like a nice strategy...

May I ask why you chose 89% on the "new visitors" stats?

sounds like a plan!

simply because it was a high percentile that cut out the majority of my trades...
i was thinking when i wrote that, that i should have mentioned peeps can fit it to their own situation... i would guess sites that are absolutely huge may have a much lower % on the new visitors.

im not a master at this stuff so maybe there is a better reasoning or method out there... thats just waht i do sometimes.

Fill us in on a few more details-

when you say you're forcing hits back to these high-referring sites, I assume the free site you have the google analytics on is running a trading script?

good scrategy you got

well, thanks for sharing. hope we can also get more sales here!! Good l uck.

"negativity JOE Jessica!" hahaha

this is still working pretty well... when i first posted = better than the last 2 times ive tried it... but still better than a kick in the nutsac.

This seems quite obvious to me...

Good sig spot strategy though :)

Forcing traffic to your trades that are doing well in productivity is suicide... but i'll let you figure that out.

btw you spelled conversions wrong @ clubjk in the flash. You spelled it "convertions" :)
