<BR>
        <LI>What are realistic traffic numbers you can expect and need to 
        accomplish this?<BR>
        <LI>What can you do to improve your website numbers?<BR></LI></UL>
      <P></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=4>Lets be conservative in all our numbers 
      and don't worry I will do the math for you. So&nbsp;if you want to replace 
      $30,000 (a moderate income by todays standards) a year income with 
      affiliate sales how will this have to work?&nbsp;From what I have seen so 
      far the average return on an affiliate sale is $10 to $20. So lets take a 
      mid point of $15.00.&nbsp;This means that to make $30k in a year we would 
      have to sell 2000 affiliate products in a year ( 
30000/15=2000).</FONT></P>
      <P><FONT face=Arial size=4>&nbsp;&nbsp;2000 is not a huge number 
      considering all the people on the net. Now we break this down to the 
      number of sales per day. 2000/365=5.5 or 6 sales per day. Again sounds 
      reasonable. Now comes the sad truth!</FONT></P>
      <P><FONT face=Arial size=4>If a new website translates .1% to 1% of 
      traffic into sales that means we need 1000 to 100 visitors to make a sale 
      or (6 x 1000 = 6000) visitors a day to make our 6 sales a day. If our 
      website is good at returning sales perhaps the 600 visitors would be 
      closer to our requirements.<BR><BR>What does this mean? Lets suppose we 
      are using Pay Per Click Advertising on Google to drive traffic to our new 
      website. If we chose low cost key words at $.10 a click our costs will be 
      $60.00 to $600.00 to get all the traffic we need to generate our 6 sales 
      to make our income. But wait we now have paid out $60.00 to get $90.00 
      worth of business (best case scenario 600 visitors) We are ahead of the 
      game but not making our living.<BR><BR>As long as we are ahead of the game 
      PPC is valid but it should not be our only focus. We need to optimize our 
      website so it ranks well for free searches of our targeted keywords. This 
      will boost our traffic at no cost to us.<BR><BR>This also means that each 
      visitor to our website is valuable and we should give them the best 
      experience possible so that they wish to return. If at all possible we 
      should get their name and email address so that we can contact them again 
      with product offers.<BR><BR>It also means that external links to our site 
      should be considered very valuable since they will bring more customers 
      our way.<BR><BR>Don't be fooled by the numbers of website traffic and 
      don't be dissuaded by them either. You will need a lot of visits to make a 
      steady income but this is possible with the right techniques.<BR><BR><A
