When buying traffic, what does productivity mean? - GoFuckYourself.com

I always thought for some reason it meant the return on what you paid so if the productivity is 110% then you will get your money back plus a 10% profit, but I don't think that's really how it works does it?

Ratio of Clicks/Unique

The higher the productivity, the more people are clicking on your thumbs. The more they click, the better odds they will click through to sponsor, and hopefully, join a paysite.

Hey sharphead, I've got two sites I'm building (celeb site and a gf site) but only one that I want to focus on and buy traffic/advertising for, which one do you think would be the best bet to focus on profit-wise? And what's the best niche to send to a gf site, amateur I'm guessing..

If you're not paying for unique visitors, you're getting ripped off.

When buying traffic, productivity means the amount of clicks you get per visitor AT your website from whomever you buy the traffic from. You can also use it to measure sales vs visitors, as a whole or for individual referring website.

best niches are amateur and teen but here is the thing, skimmed traffic from ANY broker will be low productivity, you need to set up a landing link to have it tracked when it hits your site so you can see how it's performing, otherwise your just burning money.

Good advice, being a coder I'm always running various tests on visitors to see what is the best way to go about milking them. Actually I find it pretty fun, besides the spending money part.

Productivity is really important.

In simple terms it means the amount of clicks 1 visitor makes on your site. Why is this important?

1. If you analise traffic and find a site that sends you visitors that dont click more then 1 time, it means your losing out. The visitor isnt interested in you content, or the website has really bad traffic (or worse they are fucking you with bad traffic).

2. If a visitor clicks around 5-6 times on your site, it means he is liking your content. Its a visitor thats interested, and will either click around on your tradepartners plugs a lot(if you have a tradesite) or will likely click on one of your banners if you have banners that match your content. Meaning: they will be the ones that could convert into buying customers.

Couldnt explain it much simpler. But if you find a site that has sent you a large percentage of visitors clicking around a lot, keep that one. If you find a site with a high bouncerate, around 1pv a visitor, and a timeonsite really low: Your either getting screwed, or they have crap traffic that you dont want.
