Hi

I m gonna focus on getting as much traffic as I can to my affiliate website. Backlinks, comments, blog posts and so on ..

I will not work on getting quality traffic or more exactly nich relate traffic because it will be double harder and I have too many things going on right now...

What I would like to know is a possible success rate ... I have and amazon affiliate site so I believe that even if is not the best traffic I still can get some clicks. And with amazon any click can make some money ... What do you think about this?

Yes, traffic is everything!

Especially when is comes to affiliate marketing. That's the beauty about it. No fulfillment, refunds, support, etc. You "just" need to take care of the traffic.

Generally, more traffic = more sales. But, traffic costs money. Even "free methods" have some costs involved at some point when scaling up. For example for automating tasks, you usually need proxies, emails, accounts, and so on.

When you're traffic is more targeted, you need less of it per sale. As this is individual depending on many different factors, you need to make your own calculations, and find the perfect balance.

It's hard to give a general on this as it depends on many different factors. The best thing would be to try 1 offer + 1 traffic source, and test if it's profitable. If not change either the offer or the traffic source, in simple terms.
 
In internet marketing, traffic is everything (whether organic or paid). Quality of traffic determines how well and how soon objectives keep getting achieved on an ongoing basis.
 
No it's not.

Dan Bilzerian finished broke with Ignite despite having millions of followers and visits on his website.

Some people have 1000 visitors per month ONLY but targeted and capture leads to sell a high ticket product which is very targeted and bring a lot of cash.

Lamborghini has very few customers but their products is so great that one sale a month makes the company a lot more money than 1 million visitors on a website.

It's all about quality and laser targeting, not quantity, never was.

I do paid ads and I prefer 2000 targeted prospects than 1 million non targeted by far.

It's about great experience/great product/great retention of customers.

Which basically means traffic is everything i.e targeted traffic there was no need to give so many examples mate
 
Better to get 10 clicks per day and convert 50% of those people than to get 1000 clicks per day and get 0.01% conversion.

No, traffic is not everything. Just like price is not everything.

care to justify with an example mate as to why traffic not everything ??
 
Trafic is the big part to focus on.

Targeted quality traffic is gold.

After getting traffic the most important thing is your conversion rate optimization and it depends on your funnels copies, content quality...

Good luck

That's what I'm looking for!
Do you have something/channel to recommend for me to study? I want quality, I've been generating traffic but I only have quantity and that doesn't interest me.
456 CLICKS If 0 purchases.
Can you help me??
ps: I've bought many courses, and paid mentorships. I have no interest in those who come to offer me.

It sucks that these courses didn't give you what you wanted.

I have follow a few courses, will not mention here and not in pm but it helped me understand the big picture.

I would advise you to first think about your audience, where are these people who need your help?

Do you want to reach them with paid or organic?

If your offer has no purchase is mostly because you target cold traffic which is not ready to buy yet. Use remarketing for these people. 98% of people don't buy when they first arrive on your site. The average is 7 touchpoints.

Remarketing is the simple reason why everyone should do paid ads even if they do organic, it's much more powerful.

IF you don't see any conversion, I would highly advise you to do lead generation campaigns and sell your stuff in the backend via email/sms or whatever you think fits.

There is no secret at the end but try to know your audience by doing customer avatars might help you a lot.
 
Yes but Quality is as Important as quantity, So everything from the first post to the last Landing Page should be made HQ. For ex. good YT Video ---> Well written Article ---> Well made Landing Page so you can get as much CR you can. It's better to do that first, optimize your sites, LPs for performance. Make better design etc... After that you can focus purely on the amount of traffic you get. In the best case, you make a good template to scale fast
Plus Social Proof Like Comments under Video or In Your Posts...

Traffic Is definitely everything. We have a handful of networks on board and they are all running the same offers. One can have EPCs through the roof and for the other it could be the worst offer ever to them. It all depends on the quality.
 
Traffic is starting point. Without traffic you are yelling at a ghost town, no body is listening.
 
100% traffic is the king. Focus on informational based content with strong CTA's . Increase your traffic authority over time you will find ranking for more competitive phrases will come easier. Keep your head up brother and keep working forward producing optimized information content that answers queries fully.

No that's not what they meant. That's like saying customers are everything about a business. Well ofc if you think like that, There's no business without any customers.

But more customers doesn't imply a successful business.

You can have a million blokes who got after spending millions in marketing buying your crappy product, just to never see them again, for a miniscule profit.
Or you can have a few thousand, who are loyal to your business and value your products, give you recurring revenue and give an equal if not a better bottom line compared to the former.

In the IM world, the traffic is your customer. You can focus solely on acquiring as many as you can, while not giving a second thought about conversion or value and hope a few convert.

Or you can focus on delivering value and acquiring fewer but targeted eyeballs. Eyeballs, that are genuinely interested about what you have to offer.

The latter is harder to do, but also is what lasts long term.

In my opinion, traffic isn't "everything". Adding value is. Focus on adding value (but don't forget about acquiring traffic) and traffic will come.
