Getting good traffic but very few sign up?

[imteaz]

Hi, i started a sports betting site couple of months ago. i have added some content, now i starting to get good traffic, 85% of them from Google search, but seeing very little sign up. Can anyone tell me what could be the reason? if you have any idea, please post it here, my site url sportsbettingdeal . com

How much traffic are you getting?

IMO, there is way too much text on the landing page. There are basically thousands of pages with that kind of content, design etc.

IM not familiar with Sportsbetting myself, but if i went to a site I would want to read results of games and different matches. Like a news type of style. I also would appreciate visual stuff like pictures and things of that nature. But then again I know almost nothing about sportsbooks.

Im getting ready to put my sportsbetting site online soon and i am sure i will go through the same stuff :-)

Good luck man i think with trial and error your break open soon.

Cheers

currently getting about 450 unique per day, but it is increasing as NFL season coming up.

What is your traffic landing on your page searching for? Are they looking for the latest sports betting deal? If so, they want something new, current and not the standard bonus offer you have listed there that they already know about. If a sports betting site runs a promotion, it should be featured and timely.

Put something at the very bottom of the home page featuring your best deal and calls to action.

Feature the latest deal(s) at the top of your site. The standard bonus table probably doesn't work for someone searching for latest deals/promos/etc etc

Conversion rates will depend what your traffic is searching... if they are searching looking for "best sports betting site" or "sportsbook bonus" or something similar you'd have a better chance pushing them to sign up at a sportsbook than if they were searching for strategy or picks articles.

Ahh you are right. 90% searches coming from strategy, and picks articles. Can you give me any tips, how can i convert those traffic?

Hey Mahmud,

I'm not too sure on conversions, but I posted a few sites below that you might be able to promote to bettors already signed up with sportsbook accounts and looking for picks/strategy...

-SportsInsights.com has an affiliate program that you could check out...

You could also try selling picks?

-Pregame.com has an affiliate program...
-Kevin owns SportsPicksKing.com I'm pretty sure and he has an affiliate program through ClickBank...
-I listened to the PAL radio show last week and Jeremy (I think) mentioned that DocSports.com is releasing an affiliate program soon...

I'm not sure if it's better to promote the picks directly on your site or through email marketing? Maybe it's more valuable to collect the email addresses from bettors interested in free picks... You can send them a weekly email linking them to recent picks you posted on the blog and you could also try promoting some of the picks affiliate programs... At least by collecting the emails 1st you'd always have them to re-market to...

I will make a full post here maybe this week, but I sell my MLB, NFL (and soon) NHL picks via Clickbank.

Affiliates get 70 or 75% commission.

I have my sites set up so that about 10% of the visitors enter their email so I can send them the free picks, and promote when the paid picks are being released.

With how Clickbank works the cookie stays with the visitor the affiliate sent for 60 days, so if you send traffic, they sign up for my free picks, one month later want in on the paid picks and purchase you will get credit (if they didn't clear cookies <- majority don't).

With my NFL package it is pretty much like getting a $70 CPA, so if you have traffic from people looking for NFL picks you have a great opportunity to make us both a bit of money.
