A quick reality check: "best" traffic is whatever produces the business outcome you actually care about. That might be an immediate sale, a qualified lead that becomes a buyer, repeat customers, or long-term lifetime value. Different channels deliver different mixes of intent, trust and cost, so start by defining the single outcome you will measure as “quality.”

Measure quality with the right KPIs, not raw visits. Track conversion to your target action, average order value (AOV), customer lifetime value (LTV), cost per acquisition (CPA), value-per-visit (revenue / visits), funnel drop-off and assisted conversions. Instrument every campaign with UTM tags, set goals/events in your analytics, and examine cohorts (first-month vs month-3 behavior) so you know whether a channel brings one-off buyers or valuable repeat customers.

Practical steps to test and improve channels: run small controlled experiments, match landing-page messaging to user intent, reduce friction (short forms, guest checkout), surface trust signals (reviews, clear returns/shipping), and nurture lower-intent visitors with email or content flows. Use remarketing to recover warm but undecided prospects. For lead-generation, measure lead-to-sale conversion and lead quality rather than form-completion counts.

Checklist to apply now:

  • Define the single outcome that equals “quality” for this campaign.
  • Tag all traffic (UTM), create goals/events, and compare revenue by source.
  • Calculate CPA vs LTV for each channel before scaling.
  • Run A/B tests on landing pages that mirror the ad/search intent.
  • Segment by cohort to catch differences in repeat purchase behavior.
  • Prioritize channels that deliver positive LTV minus CAC, not just highest conversion rate.

This pulls together the intent focus many mentioned here and the trust/value angle from community referrals: search captures intent, referrals capture trust, and the best mix depends on which outcome you value most. Run tests long enough for meaningful samples and weight LTV over first-click wins.

The traffic which are coming from your targeted visitors from your niche relevant to their search can be considered best traffic and possibly you can get good conversion rate.

Ranking well is based largely on inbound links to your website.

Word of mouth, by far! When you click on a banner ad and land at a site, all you initially know about the site are the nifty little graphics in the banner. When you click on a search engine result and land at a site, all you initially know about the site is that it supposedly contains the keyword you entered in the search field. But with word of mouth, sites can come with a little or a whole lot of information attached to them. "I know the site owner" ... "Check me out on the site, I'm a regular contributor" ... etc etc - People don't just say "Visit this site" without giving more details about it.

It all depends how you maintain a good relationship and spread widely your contact sphere with your customers in addition to delivering them good product or service to get a WOM. I mean your good relationship will increase the vocal length of your customers otherwise they might whisper only. :rolleyes:
