Let Them Leave
It is now possible to triple or even quadruple the amount of visitors who opt-in or sign-up for things on your website. So how do you do this? The secret is by using exit traffic scripts. Exit traffic is a term referring to visitors who are attempting to leave your website. Approximately 95% of visitors will click away from your website within seconds of getting to it. This can be circumvented by having a script that alerts them to special offers and tells them not to leave.
The best type of script for this will bring up an alert box telling you that you shouldn’t leave and that there’s a special offer. It should also immediately redirect you to the special offer page and play a sound clip of the site’s owner speaking to you. If a site owner speaks to a visitor and pleads with them not to leave until they at least check out the special offer, it often makes them feel bad for trying to leave.
In most cases, capitalizing on your exit traffic can raise your opt-ins by over 300%. It can also bring in more traffic and earn you much more revenue. If you are a programmer, you could probably code a basic script that does something like this. Unfortunately, most of us are not skilled programmers and don’t have time to learn an entire programming language for such a task. Luckily you can find these simple yet effective scripts on the internet for cheap (just do research before picking any old one).
There is a report named “3 Easy Steps That Will Increase Conversion Rates By 300%”, that will teach you all about exit traffic. It also covers which scripts work and which are just plain obnoxious. Spend the extra 20 minutes of your day to read this thorough and well written report, after all, it’s free.

I like the idea of trying for a second chance on some of my sites. Not sure I would use it for everything. Will check out the report.

Great point, Mike – exit traffic can be a big part of a site’s maximum monetization tactics. Anything that helps create a bigger income flow from existing traffic is a true bottom-line bonus!

I think we all would love better conversion rates! I haven’t really started to capture exit traffic yet, but I can see how a simple script would work quite well to do that.

I think important point you outlined in this postis that exit traffic is not a lost visitors
I would have to test it on my main blog but I do know that on Niche Blogs it works great! Not sure how well it will be received by my main blog visitors.

Not a big fan of exit traffic pop ups but I do understand that they are profitable to use. Will have to investigate a bit more. Thanks.

I use one exit opt-in ad on my blog. The program I use allows for alternating the ads. I am going to implement that capability very shortly. Thanks for this info.

Let them leave you say!! – I’ve seen these exit pages before and they do get my attention if the offer is related to the site I was visiting. It could also be used to build your list with an otin form as an exit page
