What is the highest conversion rate you have achieved? URGENT... Community please help!!!
-
Hello Guys,
I need the community's help.
I want to estimate the number of visits per month that I will have to generate in order to reach a particular revenue target(monthly).
There are three brackets (income channels) in which I can divide this total number of visits - ORGANIC, CPC & ADVERTS.
There are two parts to this question.
Part A> What percentage of the three income channels should I give to ORGANIC???
Part B> What is the conversion rate I can achieve?
Basically... I want to find out what is the general conversion rate that you guys normally achieve for your clients and what percentage of your total visits are through pure SEO and Social Media. I have done most of the calculation assuming that I will be able to achieve 4% conversion rate (but the answer scared me real bad :)).... do you think this is low??? or do you think it is alright?
I will appreciate prompt response because I have to give my client the forecast report in a few hours... I have done a lot of research and have finally turned to you guys for an answer... RAND... can u pitch in man??? That would be awesome
Thanks in advance for your input guys.
Best Regards,
Talha

Hello Keri,
Thank you for your response.
Keri I totally agree that this is really subjective stuff.
I just wanted to know what conversion rates - SEOs in our community here generally achieved in say 6 months time.
And generally, what percentage of over all visits for your clients is made up of SEO visits (both organic and social).
So... can you tell me what conversion rate you generally achieve in 3 months and 6 months for a client and what percentage of overall visits do SEO visits make by the 3rd and 6th month.
This info will be very helpful for me in the sense that I will take ur experience and myown experience into consideration and with a possible coonversion rate in mind (which I will decrease to be on the safe side) I would be able to give a very rough forecast to the client.
I do appreciate your inpur Keri... thanks again... and thanks for the link... I have learnt from it and it is great.
take care
Cheers

Hello EGOL...
Thank you very much for your response,
You are right that asking such a question at the 11th hour is not a good thing. There was a reason for this... but thats another story.
Well, I have already asked for more time. And I have gotten answers about what exactly the client wants to achieve. It is very helpful of you to tell me that conversion rate of 4% is VERY hard to achieve... so now realistically... I should assume 2% people would be converting (for the moment). However... I have had conversion rate as high as 8% in some very tough markets and so 4% was something I thought would be achievable.
The client I am preparing this for was insistent that some sort of estimate should be given to him. Thus... I am just trying to be realistic and put all figures to the minimum and give a rough forecast.
Anyways... thank you for your input... I really appreciate it.
Best regards,
Talha

These types of estimates are baloney in my opinion.
If you are asking these questions here at last minute.... then you are giving the client a wild guess.
I think it is safer and more honorable to go without estimates.
You mention a 4% conversion rate. In many industries that can only be attained by an extremely experienced webmaster who is selling the product at the lowest price on the web on a trusted site that is widely known for that product.

That's going to be really subjective and it depends on a ton of things. Here is a good post that talks about a lot of the factors that go into optimizing for a conversion http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-definitive-howto-for-conversion-rate-optimization.

CRO help how to convert already existing customers on limited budget
Hi guys! We are a start up and just launched our website in December. We are having issues with our website not converting and we have identified a few possibilities of why it may not be converting after an extensive competition analysis. Therefore, due to our limited budget we have had to cut our adwords campaign and now have 1 shot at fixing the conversion rate optimization by changing the registration process and also our offer from "FREE" to discounted rates eg: $1 per min for all new customers instead which will also work in with the way our system is configured as we have a deposit funds method. Our current offer stands at 3 FREE mins on all chat sessions, however this can not be claimed unless the client deposit is min $20 - now I realize why our competitors would use the discounted rates instead of the FREE minutes. Other competitors can achieve this as they don't require the customer to deposit any amount as they just deduct the account after the 3 minutes is up from the credit card. After running 1 months of adwords on a limited budget (i know its not long enough to test) we gathered around 24 sign ups, 3 of which entered credit card details but no deposits, and the rest who signed up only got to our 2 step registration. In this case we are working our way on changing the registration process and changing the offer. Can anyone provide any expertise or recommendations about what they think may work? Our website is www.zenory.com Thanks and I look forward to your responses.

Traffic, rankings and own manual note in one interface, please :)
Hey guys, I really hope that such a tool exists out there. Here's the problem. My boss asked me to create a graph that shows the traffic, rankings and notes on our site updates in one place. Here's what I did I just made a screenshot of my Google analytics and rankings from RankTracker. Then I added it all in one Photoshop file and tried to combine them so that I can see if traffic drops coincided with keyword drops. Also, I added some manual notes about the updates on my site (like text updates on the homepage, etc). So, is there a tool that allows to combine Google traffic data with ranking data. Plus it should allow to add my own comments ? Here's the result of my crazy drawings so that you understand why I'm not happy about doing that in Photoshop 🙂 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_oX-XIT7OSCRC1jWUcxR3AwdkE/edit?usp=drive_web

Does Penguin Help Negative SEO?
With negative link targeting seeming to become more and more of a ‘standard practice’ for more and more agencies and freelance SEOs (I, for one, have had to use the disavow tool far more than I ever thought I would) and the fact that there are more “link building services” that really only build ‘crap’ links than there were when that type of link building worked, I am honestly a bit afraid that Google is really just pushing SEO’s to the ‘dark side’ or at least handing black hat link builders a great tool for bringing down the competition. I had one SEO actually say to me “If my client can’t recover than at least I can target everyone that jumped ahead of them and only spend around $300 on bad link building”. This came from someone I NEVER thought would say anything of the sort and really got me to thinking’ “will this be the future of SEO?” I know the answer is no but still, it seems more and more people are just throwing their hands up and targeting competition rather than working on their own websites and with updates like Penguin I am afraid that more of my time will be spent disavowing links than building them.

Help ranking for a keyword
So I found a keyword that is labeled as "Low Competive" on Google Adwords. About a week and a half ago I optimized the page using the SEOMOZ On-Page optimization tool. It says that I am 100% with everything. My website is new but it has been around for about a year. I haven't gotten into linking and the more in depth SEO. After doing some searches though I noticed a lot of other new website that are atleast ranking in the top 50 for certain keywords, so I figured I could get my page to rank atleast in the top 1000 for this "Low Competitive" keyword. Could someone take a look and see if maybe I over optimized it or did something that would make this keyword not rank even in the top 1000 on google? Any advise is appreciated. I am obviously very new to SEO, but I am someone that likes to do and learn everything for myself. Thanks in advance! The keyword is: Nitro Monster Truck The web page is: http://www.rcnitroshop.com/nitro-monster-truck
