NEED Your SEO Suggestions and Tips,What are FREE TRAFFIC Strategies?

[nancynewton]

I would like the answer to the following question. i am looking to develop 5 Separate Strategies to deliver FREE TRAFFIC to a site and would also like some sort of METRICS as to how effective each strategies are. So let us say that each strategy needs to create 20 visits to a site. Let us also assume that we decided to use say Video marketing.

What i am looking for is some sort of metric like assuming that the video gets 5 views a day and 20% of the people
clicked through the link then i would need 20 videos to get me 20 visits a day. (1video x 5 views x 20% = 1 therefore 20 videos)

or maybe

1 article 10 views per day 20 percent clickthrough so 10 articles needed.

now i know these Metrics Wont be exact but i would like SOME Ideas Please.so all in all 5 strategies with metrics.

Thank you very much in advance for all your suggestions

Hello nancynewton, and welcome to the forums.

If you look at Google's universal search results, you can see the kinds of possible results you can develop for:

1. Organic
2. News
3. Images
4. Video
5. shopping (Products)
6. Local (Places)

But when it comes to mathematical prediction, only would this information not be exact, but it seems to me there is no "cookbook recipe" of the kind you are asking for. It's going to be completely unique to each website and the quality of each kind of content.

Keep in mind that "free traffic" isn't free.

Good content takes time, thought, and money to produce. High quality video, eg, can be very expensive. There's also effort involved in the promotion of your content. So be prepared for ongoing effort.

What i am looking for is some sort of metric like assuming that the video gets 5 views a day and 20% of the people clicked through the link then i would need 20 videos to get me 20 visits a day.

I think you'd need to have comparable videos to make any sort of predictions. Why 5 views a day? Some videos might get 500 views a day, and some might get 5 views a year. I suggest you look at individual view statistics on YouTube for videos similar to what you're anticipating.

That won't give you click-throughs, though. I think your 20% click-through thoughts, either for articles or videos (and I know you're just tossing out a figure) are wildly optimistic. Use site-search on WebmasterWorld to find threads on click-through rates, and how expected traffic diverges wildly from predictions. You'll see that it's far from an exact science.

You also need to pick your subjects/keywords/market area wisely, to get a sense of whether topics and keyword combination are actually searched. Check out the Google AdWords External keyword tool for initial keyword suggestions. You'll need to read up as well on how that tool is best used... and perhaps check out other tools that are available.

Note that we don't discuss specific tools in this forum.
