Boost Sales and Rankings When you Buy Web Traffic

Posted on November 27th, 2011. Written by JudderMan.

No matter what you’re selling on your website, whether it’s cell phones, clothing, jewelry or even cars, one thing you must focus on is getting people to see the site. While you can spend weeks and months optimizing your site or buying adverts, if there are only a few people visiting your site each day the chances of you earning money is very low. Instead of scratching your head for the next six months, you could buy web traffic.

Buying web traffic to visit your site is something that sounds a little off, but it’s totally legitimate. If you buy 1,000 visitors for $10 to see your site and one person buys from it, with an average cost per sale of $1,000 then it’s worth the investment. Imagine buying 100,000 visitors! Even if the traffic isn’t targeted, meaning that they might not have been searching for whatever you’re selling, then as long as your site has great products or services and is appealing, the chances of picking up lots of impulse buyers is very high.

Let’s look at this a different way. Your site doesn’t have anything to buy but you make your money from visitors clicking on Adsense adverts. If you’ve targeted keywords with a cost per click (CPC) of an average of $5, and you buy web traffic totalling 100k, then the chances of around 1-5% clicking on the adverts is about right. If you have a well-optimized Adsense theme for your site, then 5-10% click-through rate (CTR) is achievable. If we say 5% is average, then you could earn $25,000 from 5,000 people clicking on the adverts. This might be a little lower as paid for web traffic is not directly targeted. With that in mind, you can see why people buy web traffic.

There are other reasons people purchase visitors to their site, such as to sell their site on website auction sites or to boost their visibility in the search engines. The more traffic a site has the faster it will grow and be seen by search engine spiders. The Alexa rank is something that people look at the gauge an idea of how popular a site is. Anything less than 1 million is deemed fairly popular. With 100,000 visitors being sent to your site your Alexa ranking will plummet and this is a good figure to use to sell your website with.

So, whether you have a site that sells expensive necklaces, HDTVs or has free CPA offers and you send 100,000 people to it, the chances of converting those people into sales or profits is high. It might not have an amazing conversion rate but if you’ve made your site look great and give people that boost to buy on a whim, then you could easily make a lot of money and very, very quickly.

It seems obvious now to simply buy web traffic instead of waiting for people to find your website. When you buy web traffic, you usually get to monitor the traffic so you know that it’s being sent and where from. You can analyze the traffic to see which types of people convert the best.
