Traffic Questions and Answers

There were several Question and Answer sessions during the Action Seminars. These are the ones that related to generating more traffic.

The questions are:

• Are directory sites valuable for getting backlinks?
• Is it a valuable split test if I am using mixed traffic?

Are directory sites valuable for getting backlinks?

Teran Dale: Most of those sites are junk and should be avoided.

00:27 Question for Jon Correll: Is it a valuable split test if I am using mixed traffic? Different types of traffic.

Jon: You can’t mix traffic because the data won’t be correct. Tracking tools can segment the traffic and tell you what traffic converts for what ad. As long as the traffic is similar it is OK. Otherwise you will get analysis paralysis.

3:34 John asks Jon about “noise”. What it is and what it means. Jon talked about what you can assume and how results can lie to you.

If any of the topics speaks to you, create a list of steps needed to implement the suggestion and go for it.
