Next week I’m starting to promote 20-25 websites at the end of the month all 20 website from month 1. I decided to go with article marketing and also video marketing. I’m very confident about video marketing that will bring me a lot of good traffic. I didn’t have that good experience in article marketing as traffic was very small in other niches I tried.
Anyway, today I checked my Google Analytics and found out some traffic coming. Few websites had spike like 10-20 hits in last few days or 1 day. It seems when you get accepted to Clickbank many affiliates are checking out your website. Additionally there are many websites like cbengine that brought me some traffic too. What’s great about analytics I know exactly my affiliates usernames from accesses content, like:
mysite.com/index1.html?hop=someaffiliatelogin
So I will know now exactly how much traffic each affilite is sending me and what quality of traffic. I’m not sure if I can check referral, as it was showing me direct traffic from these ‘hop links’.
I’m very happy seeying some traffic coming as I didn’t build any links or did any marketing yet. Some sites has like 50-70% from Google, so that’s great!
The only concern I had is that my bounce rate… In some sites as high as 80%+! I don’t kknow if it’s average, I think it’s pretty high. On many sites the worst bounce rate has Google traffic, on 1 website over 90%+ bounce rate… Damn..
That’s very surprising, as from my experience Google traffic was always outperforming all of me other traffic sources. But I have to take in mind it’s still a very low traffic volume and all these analysis are rather not accurate.
Couple of niches showed a lot of long tail keywords – that’s a good sign – and even first pages on Google for some main keywords.
On 1 of my website with a bit better design I had 70% bounce rate. That started to make me thinking that the problem can lay in design – showing the content the right way. The other problem can be that I’m selling too much on each content page – that may turn off some people. Other thing not many photos on pages, too much text, not enough breaks. Maybe the background color turns people off?
From this stage of the game it’s really hard to predict what’s wrong, if something is wrong. Time will tell.
I’m a bit concerned about my next month budget, but have couple of ideas to make some fast cash in few weeks. It’s going to involve site flipping…
