How Many Leads to You Get from Your Website on Average?

[senior-advisor-indiana]

I have a website that is a few years old. The first year and a half I received maybe 6 leads. I did make a sale on each one, which makes it worth it to me.
I mainly just wanted a website to have one back then and didn't care if I got leads or not because I got enough leads from other avenues. Now I would like to start utilizing it more but first I need to make changes to it. I was just curious if anyone of you got enough leads from your site to make it your main lead source.
This is of course for the senior market. I'm sure the younger market gets way more traffic.

It's not yet my biggest source of leads, but I do write a reasonable number of plans from www.californiamedicareplans.com.

This site ranked pretty well before several SEO gurus played with it. Did anyone of them increase my visibility? They tell me they did.

I'll try another way to promote this site and a couple others (that the same gurus worked on without success) and see what happens.

By the way, interesting domain name. What gave you that idea?

Some "Richard" gave me the idea. My site ranks fairly well too from what I was told, not sure how or why. I had a member of the forum meet with me and offered to make it better but in return he wanted to split leads and id help him with product knowledge. I didn't see the point in that. Since he did bring it to my attention how well it ranked for certain searches I want to make better use of it.
I haven't received a lead from it in about a year and the ones I did get are phone calls because of the lousy contact form. The guy that originally set it up seemed to do a really good job ad hopefully will help menwoth the changes. As for the other agent that wante to share leads, I think I'll pass on that but will still help him with info that he needs.

Free quick points:
Your top five words are Medicare, Supplements, area code, phone prefix, phone ending

As a result it looks like Google has only indexed 3 pages of your site, and may only come by every 6 months.

Your site should contain at least 10 pages. Suggestion for your top words: Medicare, supplement, indiana, IN, supplements

There is no way you are going to be found for: Medicare Supplements

Hope this helps

BTW: according to Alexa.com out of 20,000,000 ranked sites your site does not rank at all

Thanks for the info dy. From what I seen it only ranks high for a search of Indiana Medicare plans. I know I need to put more time and money into it.

dyadvisor - how do you know what the top 5 words are? Is it the words listed most often? most often as H1's?

WHAT IF I TELL YOU ABOUT A FREE TOOL THAT LOADS ON YOUR MOUSE THAT WILL TELL YOU?

Your answer is this will checking keyword density to help. You H1 should always contain your keyword phrase. It should also be in the title (up to 70 character spaces) and twice in the first 164 character spaces of your description. Keep your keyword ratio for Google between 3.7 and 1.7/per 100, for your top 5-7 words.

Using Firefox browser, go to Google: Firefox add-ons SEO Quake. It will load right on your mouse. Now on any page take this 30 piece free tool and select keyword density. Look right at the top to see the single word list. Then note any words you need to raise or lower.

Trick: also put your keyword phrase at the bottom in all capitals and bold.

That should help. If not just ask another question.

Alot, everyday.

Since it's Sunday and I'm already in a piss poor mood, I thought I'd post this reagarding the use of the non-word "ALOT." We see this almost as much as people who don't know the difference between your and you're.

Let's say you're typing a paper and you get to a point where you write "alot." A little red squiggle appears underneath so that you know it's spelled incorrectly, but what will you choose–a lot or allot? This Grammar Quick Fix will teach you the difference between these three "words."

Alot
Believe it or not, alot is not a word. It's commonly confused as a word because it's similar to allot or a lot. The word you will want to choose depends on what you're discussing.

A lot
This is what most people mean when they type alot. A lot is basically an informal way of identifying a "large quantity" of something. If I say, "I have a lot of books," you'll know that I don't have just a couple books–I have several. This is the "slang form" of the word though. A more appropriate usage is when you're trying to measure an uncountable noun, like water or poetry. "There was a lot of water in the pool." The former form is permissible in basic conversation, but should be avoided

Allot
This is a completely different word altogether. Allot means to "distribute" and is a verb. For example: "I alloted the raffle tickets to the students." This word doesn't have a "slang form," unlike a lot.

In sum
Alot isn't a word.

Don't make me show you my SEO face.
