What is the best way to reduce bounce rate from Pinterest Traffic?
-
Hi,
Our bounce rate is very high on incoming traffic from Pinterest. What can we do to redirect the traffic to more than single product page and/or convert them to sign up for newsletter, etc?
Anyone know if there is an average bounce rate from Pinterest traffic?
Thanks.

Social media traffic in general tends not to convert directly to sales, because most people use social media sites for entertainment and not for shopping. Pinterest tends to have a higher shopping intent than other social sites, but still expect a low conversion rate.
There are two things you can do to improve your conversion rate: improve your leads and improve your site.
To improve the quality of your leads, try putting a price tag on your pins in Pinterest. This will tend to attract people who are actually shopping for something, instead of just browsing pretty pictures. Make it clear that the item in your picture is something you have for sale. Use buying keywords in the pin description. All these will attract people to your pins who are more likely to purchase, leading to a higher conversion rate.
As far as improving your site, for reducing bounce rate you can include a "related products" widget to your page, with pictures of other products the user may be interested in. Pinterest users are very visual, so make sure your site design looks nice.
As for improving e-mail conversion rates, don't just ask people to sign up, offer them an incentive. The exact incentive will depend on your industry, but make it something that complements whatever it is you're offering, like a free guide or tip sheet. If you can't think of anything creative, try offering a one-time 15% off coupon for signing up for your newsletter. Make the sign-up form a popup, so people can't ignore it.

Hi guys, I've been struggling trying to find average conversion rates for qualified traffic (e.g. PPC) for lead generation/phone calls in the B2B services(non- SaaS) environment.

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO): Best Approach/Plan Documentation
Hey Mozzers - First off, I am well aware of what CRO is, its benefits, and why it is essential for any inbound or performance marketing campaigns. However i am a total newbie at the actual planning and implementation of CRO, so any advice/feedback on the questions below are much appreciated! When planning a CRO experiment/test what is the best way to document it? Should i develop the full plan ahead of time laying out each element? If so, what elements should i include in this plan? What are the KPIs i should report on? What tools should i use for reporting (i was thinking a blend of Google and Clicktale)? Any lessons learned through out your campaigns? Thank you all so much for your input! Regards - Kyle

Any SEO tips for optimizing / driving traffic to category pages?
Hello! I listened to Adam Audette at Linklove in Boston this month and he spoke a little on creatively linking product pages back to their respective category pages - as it had an effect on the SEO... However, I don't know much about "internal" linking... Any other SEO tips for optimizing / driving traffic to category pages? Thanks!

Low conversion rate, high ticket item... but not THAT high
Oh great mozzers, I fall at your feet... I feel like I'm going insane... My client, 35 Degrees (http://35DegreesSteaks.com) is quite the mystery. I handle SEO and paid search for them, and we're doing great in those areas... however, we're just not seeing the conversions once I deliver these folks to the site. The people are targeted, the keywords are sound, and from what I can see, the checkout process isn't a mess... but they are just not getting the sales. We're currently starting to test some price points with some newer, lower cost "intro packages", so we'll see if that's one of the pain points. I'm also in the process of convincing them to include a Verisign or some other logo in the checkout process. However, I was hoping the great minds here could take a quick look and see if I'm missing anything else. Thanks in advance! Jeff
