Overview
Targeted traffic refers to the qualified traffic a website attracts in relation to its content goals. Your website, blog and other content channels might be generating lots of traffic but it is all useless unless visitors are not even slightly interested in your products or services. Those who have landed on your web pages in search of different type of information will soon flee away without getting converted into sales leads.
Thus, the visitors with some likelihood of getting converted into leads are called targeted traffic. They have some interest in what you can offer them and will be captured by your ideas, advice, products, services, etc.
Targeted traffic often constitutes a known audience. For instance, if you email everyone you met at a trade show and offer them a free trial of your product, that is a "targeted" traffic source because all the visitors have something in common--they are all from your trade show.
Step by Step
RSS
RSS feeds are effective sources of targeted traffic because they can instantly capture the visitors willing to regularly receive content from your sources. By including RSS feeds on your blog posts, you are basically maintaining a network of loyal readers and customers who want to be updated on your activities.
Calls to Action Through calls to action you are drawing the path you want your visitors to take. Call to action verbs serve almost like guidelines and orientation marks for potential customers. Among some of the most popular call to action
retail verbs are
save,
shop,
compare,
find, and
order.
Landing Pages Qualified traffic can be converted into leads with the help of
targeted landing pages. Similarly to calls to action, unique landing pages require a clearly illustrated action from potential customers. As a result, leads are prompted to make a step—fill out a form, subscribe to a newsletter, purchase an item, etc. The purpose of landing pages is to effectively convert targeted traffic into sales leads.
