How to Get 100…or 1,000 Clicks Per Day

Big Traffic is a Combination of Lots of Little Traffic Sources

Everybody is looking for the one, giant source of traffic.  The killer secret PPC keyword.  Or the one organic keyword that ranks Google page 1, position 1.

In most cases, though, you’re looking at creating lots of traffic from many different smaller sources.  Sorry, Charlie.

So, you’re dreaming of this:

Fantasy Traffic Goal:  1,000 clicks per day

Source / # of Clicks

One insanely highly placed keyword in Google = 1,000

TOTAL = 1,000

Does this happen?  Yes, it can.  Someone has to rank #1 for those big-ticket keywords, right.  But in reality, it usually looks something like this:

Reality Traffic Goal:  1,000 clicks per day.

Source / # of Clicks

Long-tail keyword in Google = 10

Another long-tail keyword in Google = 13

Direct links from an Ezine article = 44

One high-level keyword in Yahoo! = 26

PPC ads = 67

YouTube clickthroughs = 9

Ezine Articles clickthroughs = 14

Facebook profile clickthroughs = 10

Forum signatures = 7

Etc., etc.

TOTAL = 1,000

Where to Get Traffic

Where do you get all of these traffic sources?  We have alluded to some of them above.  Here are suggestions:

  1. Article Marketing

  2. Video Clickthroughs

  3. Google Image Search Clickthroughs

  4. Sneaky Incentives for Other People to Place Your Links

  5. Long-Tail Keywords

  6. PPC Advertising

  7. Forum Signatures

  8. Spamming Craigslist

Conversion Rates Be Damned!  It’s All About Traffic Quantity!

Okay, not really – but look at these examples.  Every example is on a per day basis:

EXAMPLE A:  Great Conversion Rate; Low Traffic

Product Profit Margin:  $20.00

Traffic:  100 clicks

Conversion Rate:  5%

Your Daily Profit:  $100.00

EXAMPLE B:  Lousy, Rock-Bottom Conversion Rate; High Traffic

Product Profit Margin:  $20.00

Traffic:  10,000 clicks

Conversion Rate:  1%

Your Daily Profit:  $2,000.00

Which would you rather have, $100 per day or $2,000 per day?

You might say:  Well, that’s not reality.  You can just as easily make money with low traffic, as long as you have good, motivated, and qualified buyers.

As long as you can gut out more traffic like a piledriver, you can always make more money.  That’s one of the oldest and most solid dictums of Internet Marketing.  The Web abounds with stories of guys who have lousy conversion rates, guys who don’t give a damn about page layout and other selling considerations, but simply because of the fact that they pull in thousands and thousands of clicks a day, they make money.
