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.

How to start or create a blogging community for my industry?
Hi Guys, I have just established my new site, and I'm wondering if anyone might know how to go about establishing a blogging community for my industry on my site? I'm trying to establish one by asking other bloggers if they would be willing to contribute but Im left asking myself, well "what is the benefits" of a contributor participating in a newly established blog that perhaps doesn't have any exposure at this point in time? The idea would be to grow it. But my industry lacks this and the quality of information. Any ideas or tips on how to go about establishing something around this? All advice, tips would be appreciated! Thanks

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.

Please critique my seo packages page on my website
Hello, I think there is a lot of room for improvement to my SEO packages (analysis) page on my website. Visit it by clicking here. I've always done SEO for our own business, so I'm new to this. Any help is appreciated. btw: I'm going to redo the chart on the page. I don't think profit and sales would ever compare like that. Thanks.
