Basic Steps for Troubleshooting a Low Performing Site

By Humberto Parviainen


For a long time, marketing and the related field of advertising has been researched by people from many different points of view. A lot of this research has centered on questions dealing with how customers are persuaded to try or keep using certain products.

As you can imagine, a large and related area that is naturally included in this concerns human nature and psychology. Today, this type of information is readily available if you know where to look, meaning any business can benefit from it. Yet you won't necessarily find this type of knowledge in the average forum or blog post, so it's necessary to search for it.

Knowing the target audience in your niche market is the first step to online success. That is a huge mistake and strategic error for many reasons. Doing this research is something that is extremely essential to your marketing success. Understanding demographic groups, and how to sort them appropriately, is the next stage of this research. You can easily see the gender break-up as well as different age groups. Your goal is to break down everything into small segmented groups like this to get the best results using demographics.

If your audience contains both genders, then you will need to choose something that is more neutral. Depending on your niche, you will want to encourage certain emotions or reactions to your site. Always design your sites with your audience in mind, which might mean making choices you wouldn't make if you were the only visitor. Everything on your site, from the header to the graphics and fonts should blend together nicely and form a unified whole.

You need to check the bounce rate of every page on your site once you have all the metrics available. Clearly, if most traffic is being sent to your main page, then you need to look at that one first. If the bounce rate seems disproportionately large then the issue might be with the people visiting your site or with the page itself or both. You need to make absolutely sure your traffic is high quality and targeted. Once you feel good about your traffic, then you have to look at your page and see what could be the problem. You'll have to modify it and test it regularly because that's about the only option you have.

People respond to various stimuli, from colors and designs to words and all of this can be useful to know about in marketing. To really succeed with niche marketing, you must learn how to connect with the people who are your best prospects. Your first step, then, is to identify exactly who your audience is going to be. It's also good to keep in mind that there are no hard and fast rules. That is a reflection of the human factor because people violate rules of expected behavior all the time.
