1 Simple Trick To Decrease Your Click Loss With Mobile Traffic

Click loss with mobile can be a bit challenging at times.  Not all people that click your advertisement will arrive at your landing page because the connection times out.  A variety of factors can attribute to this, such as network strength, but one thing you can do to decrease some of this is by optimizing your DNS.

DNS stands for domain name system and is what connects your domain name to your server.  Look at it like a phone book.  Your server has an IP address, which is the phone number, and your domain name is the corresponding name.  When someone types in yourdomain.com, their browser begins the lookup process to connect the visitor with the correct server.  As a webmaster the first optimization you should make is right here.  Unlike upgrading your server hardware, which can be costly, this quick five-minute process can save you thousands of visitors increasing your bottom line.

To get started, you should test your domain name to see what the current response time is:

As you can see the average time in milliseconds for IMGrind to complete a DNS lookup is 3.  We use Cloud Flare as their DNS service is just one of the many features they have.

I personally don’t like to keep all my eggs in one basket.  You may have heard about the DDOS attack against Name Cheap’s DNS two weeks ago.  If all of your websites/landing pages were using them, than it likely costed you a good bit.  It’s always best to mitigate your risk, hence using several of the services listed above.
