Producing Leads from Website

[Getzer928]

ive got a website i launched last month, just this month ive started getting hits from google, producing some organic traffic. i have yet to make a sale from one though. i know i need to give it some more time. I am not spending any money on advertising......yet.

 

[Pangaea]

true, however the purpose of the site is to make them call me and then buy from me after i have them on the phone...

does that make a difference to you?

No. It does not make a difference, don't worry I'm just a nobody though.

No. It does not make a difference, don't worry I'm just a nobody though.

I would agree with that statement. You seem to talk a good game on here, but that is just about it. Your site sure talks alot about Insurance Agencies and being successful with this industry, still we have not seen any proof of this? But you claim to having this success with Life and Health agencies. The mortage lead industry a few years ago, was a different ballgame.

(Straight from your website)

Being a trusted provider and manager of some of the most successful web properties in life and health insurance we have served numerous insurance agencies ranging from property and casualty firms to final expense insurance agencies

Then you post this when questioned about Insurance Agency Experience.

As for not having many insurance clients... Yes, this is true and to be honest I'll probably only take on a few more insurance clients this year. So Which is the Truth?


Is this one of the numerous sites your referring to?

Austin Final Expense Insurance | Houston Funeral Insurance - TexasFuneralInsurance.com

Considering that "Austin Final expense Insurance" gets (0) searches per month,
Houston Funeral Insurance gets (0) searches per month and Texas Funeral Insurance gets the same amount - (0) Even Texas Final Expense gets (0) searches, so I am confused, how is this client of yours ever going to get traffic that dont exist?

You can have this beautiful complete Joomla CMS system, email drip marketing program, Full PPC campaign, Full Lead Contact Mangagement system and all the bells and whistles, and when used properly is a very valuable system. But at the end of the day, No Searchers, No Market, No Sales.

You made this statement in one of your post

(I know what Dave knows... most of us do)

No really you dont know what I know, which really does not matter.

If you did, you would understand that Targeting phrases that provide no searches makes no sense for the client.

I am sure if the client knew the total searches (0) based on these phrases, and they were provided this data that shows (0) relevant searches, I am sure they would be confused as well.

Problem is, Most do not have any knowledge of proper Keyword Research and how to locate these relevant phrases, you cant make them up as you go.

Most Trust the individual who is structuring thier site to provide the most relevant traffic from the relevant searched keyword phrases to convert into sales.

Are these the numerous sites your referring to?

So really ranking for those terms may impress your clients, but it wont pay the bills!!!

And according to this site, your are targeting Nation Wide Terms.

The Main Phrase Life & Health Insurance Quotes gets (0) searches per month.
Life and Health Insurance Quotes gets (390) per month.

No really you dont know what I know, which does not matter.

Or you would understand that Targeting phrases that provide no searches, makes no sense.

There you go again with that mental diarrhea, none of those sites are finished since A. they haven't come back to me with the content written. and B. I haven't take on ANY new customers and haven't in over two weeks (that's right, I've turned down every person and referral since Early-November).

Why? Because I'm now a competitor... As a matter of fact, I'm now the CTO of one the largest insurance brokerages in the region.

Heck, my site is number one for over five states and brings in more visitors from those states alone than your little trinket sites combined.

Do yourself a favor and have a guru battle with someone who gives two flying craps about you. I'm not selling anything on this forum anymore and haven't for two weeks; heck that seminar (which I may still do, is just to give back to the community here).

Go play with some dragon figurines and build some cookie cutter Yahoo stores. Maybe you can imagine a friend while you're at it.

So do yourself and your insipid followers a favor and stick to what you know "title and description tags".


I have some advanced segmentation tests to run before heading off to eat.


Peace, in the middle east.

BTW, my number one ranking keyword (for my insurance site) actually has 140K monthly uniques... Just for giggles.

Still don't get it. Your response? Trying to impress us with "Who You Are" and who you work for, I doubt if individuals are impressed, but you seem to be with your statements. Trust me, you are no competitor to me.

Nothing but trying to bash, and $50.00 terms to make you look impressive. Its your website that makes these claims. I dont care if the content is finished or not, You can write a Library on the terms your targeting, and at the end of the day, 0 Searches.

Cookie Cutter Yahoo Stores? Thats really funny, You have no clue what your talking about, I know several individuals that do over 20 Million Dollars in sales from Yahoo Stores, and you have no clue of my sales, or my other cookie cutter Yahoo Stores, individuals that know me personally, no exactly what I am talking about.

Want a Wave invite? You edit your posts more than a wiki.

I'm leaving in two minutes, don't you have more productive things to do than try and win e-arguments that don't matter?..

Wait... don't answer that.

P.S. I don't need to know you sales when I know you're only bringing in x,xxx visitors monthly with a small grossing product.

Ciao bella.

No Actually, I just asked a question about one of the sites, and how that client will ever get any traffic? and you came back telling us that your a CTO of the largest insurance brokerage of the region--Are you impressed with having a Title?

You started down the path of bashing my yahoo stores, which you have no clue about, I have more than one store, sorry but your little sandbox friend is not aware of these either, but that was not the point, But good diversion on your part.

insipid followers? --- So not only bash me, your bashing some serious established agents here on this forum. Not good brother,

I'm not selling anything on this forum anymore and haven't for two weeks-- and just a few weeks ago, you werent selling anything, (You were Teaching) .

Building a positive image on a discussion board is not accomplished by creating a user name and touting one's self as an "expert" by bashing well established members who have already proven to members of the board that they truly are an expert in what they do.

This is suppose to be a place for agents to come to for help and to share their knowledge. It is not suppose to be a "measuring" place.

I'm always very suspect of people who try to promote themselves by trying to tear others down.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

Okay, it's true DMiller knows far more than I do about SEO.

Good thing I'm not selling seo anymore as I obviously don't know what I'm doing.

Have a good holiday everyone.

I'm going to leave this topic alone as it's off topic now.

Bon Courage

Getzer928,
A few years back websites were mere business cards holding the address and phone number. As you know, Internet users have become sophisticated nowadays.Though seniors and retired baby boomers are not that tech savvy, they do look forward to useful, easy to understand information on the websites they are visiting. Since your website is not a simple landing page, you need to add more content and make it more professional. Even if you do that, as the discussion shows, there is no guarranty that your web page will be served up on Google first page. That's where traffic generating techniques such as SEO and PPC come into play. Yes, website building is a time taking process, unless you engage professionals; but the cost may go up significantly! There is plenty of free information on the internet; unfortunately, it is overwhelming for starters! As far as you don't depend on the website for immediate returns, you can do the groundwork and build it up over a period of time.

As you might have noticed in other threads, there are businesses starting on the internet overnight and threatening the long established companies. Unlike traditional brick and mortar businesses, internet businesses can ramp up fast and produce results, if they invest large amount of money in technology.
