Which has better conversion rates? Free or paid traffic?

Better Conversion in Targeted Traffic.

That depends on many factors. I've seen paid traffic which was targeted, but poor in terms of conversions. I've seen organic traffic from keyword without a purchase intent, which was performing really well (due to landing page quality I suppose). I also managed some FB campaigns and I received a moderate effects in terms of conversions, but with extremely low CPO due to the price, where in AdWords I'd have to pay 15$+ per click. Not mentioning that getting rankings for that keyword would take ages.

Paid is best but free is free.

It varies according to users experiences, paid traffic is definitely the way to go but getting that quality traffic is the main part and when it comes to free its always good........its the same situation as promoting an offer with an LP or direct linking the particular offer...

Targeted paid traffic to be more precise! That's your best option. You can buy that kind of traffic here on BHW but I am using a provider on SEOclerks which delivers quality traffic for a good price.

whos the source? or can u provide a link.

I make 4 Figures per month with 47% CR from USA and its free traffic.

Since my hammering at the hands of G last year my business has switched from a 90/10% free/paid to a 25/75% split. We now make more money off less visitors and less conversions due to a much higher average sale.

So for me paid is better as I make more money with less work and staff
