Question-of-the-week
What percent of your site visitors start on your home page?
Most successful affiliates garner traffic from search engines to a wide variety of pages within their sites. The simplistic model that visitors start on the home page, and move around from there, is usually just plain wrong. For most sites, the home page is the single most important page. But still, it is generally more important to focus on the visitor experience for those arriving on all of the other pages of your site as well. How does traffic flow on your site? What percent of your site visitors start on your home page? Please vote on the poll based on your main site. But please share numbers for some of your other sites as well. View poll
