The traditional view for online marketing has always been - "Get More Traffic!"
While on the surface there may some logic to that approach, in many ways it is putting the cart before the horse. Unless your website is doing a good job of turning visitors into customers, then sending more traffic to it is not going to help. If anything you are just pouring money down the drain.
A bricks and mortar store owner does not celebrate a day where one thousand people walked through their shop door and no one purchased anything. So why should a website owner get excited about increased traffic unless that traffic is converting into new customers or achieving some other goal you have in mind?
If your website isn't working now, that isn't going to change with more traffic. It’s just not going to work more often.
Investing in Search Engine Marketing with a website that is not converting existing traffic is only going to be throwing good money after bad.
If you find yourself in this boat it doesn't mean Search Engine Marketing isn't an option, just not the right option now. To see a return on investment, you need to concentrate on increasing your websites conversion rate so the traffic you pay for results in customers buying your products or services.
Enhancing your website’s conversion rate is the most cost effective initiative you can take with your website. You’ll change the economics of your online business, overnight, and turbo charge your online marketing programs.
