- Find out where the traffic is coming from. You can do it by asking on forum, read their website carefully for this information. If you can’t find anything, try it with little money to find out. The company should be sending traffic from search engine, which has higher conversion.
- They should have tools to help you like keyword bid tool where you can check for traffic volume, and average advertiser cost.

Try using buzz words like ‘super’, ‘top’, ‘free’, and ‘amazing’. Don’t forget to use capital letter too. Use keyword in your title, because they tend to have higher CTR. The second most important thing is your description. You should filter your visitor from here. Explain what you provide in your website. You can also put price to filter your visitor.
