Still considering best options for driving traffic to the soon-to-be released destinations. In the past, I've used offline means to drive traffic online within local markets- print, radio PR spots, and handouts at targeted live events. Each with varying success as tracked by opensource & internally developed web and log analytics. Just beginning to crank up several online enterprises, but the sites are not yet live.

I have been targeting, attorneys, title and escrow companies, financial institutions. I have also targeted small businesses in the surronding KC Metro area. I am also using email for contact. However, I have not achieved the response or results that I have expected. I realize that notary service is something that is not sought out everyday but everyone evenually needs one.

I've also divided up groups of words and pointed them towards two different URLs. Or within Google's PPC, used two landing pages there and let it self-optimize. None of these approaches from my end has been very controlled or sophisticated. I have a Google Analytics account but didn't know it had this capability. Cool!

To test which is performing better, I would just split up my lists and send different creative to each group using different promotion codes hoping to get a good read on which code performs the best. Unfortunately, I haven't had a huge response and therefore haven't been able to get a good read on what works. I have done both direct mail and email marketing.
