Getting a high rank in search engines & attracting new visitors

Commissioner · 08-17-2009, 10:45 AM

One of my major goals is to get a high rank in as many search engines as possible and to be able in increase our sales to the next level. I have been working fairly hard on my site lately and our site only manages to get between 100 vistors daily (which isn't that bad at all). Our forum seems to be falling behind a bit, although we do have over 200 members but a large percentage barely post anymore.

We are a dating training company so at the moment we do not have any products available so haven't much to give away other than our pricey Training courses we offer. I am open to suggestions as to how i can improve this website that will attract more people, whether it means i should change the layout, add a monthly newsletter, integrate the forum into the website to make it look more professional.

Here is the website and forum so hope you guys can give me useful feedback. I can take some critizism so say whatever you think is unnessary,what looks bad, looks great, and what else i can do to improve things.

Thanks alot

You need to think about how you can change that. You are the experts in your field. You could easily slap together a free report on the 7 things to avoid on first date or whatever, without compromising your core product.

Offer to give this free product away in return for email address. Put in a good slide-in squeeze box. Then send a weekly email to the list with tips and anecdotes. Finally just advertise the next training session or event or whatever infrequently, maybe once a quarter.

This is a long term strategy but it will keep the attention of people who visit your site and then forget you. They may need your services in 6 months and this will remind them who you are.

In the short term, embark on a social media backlinking strategy, with some facebook/twitter thrown in.

Hi!

Where are you ranking in the SERPS for your keywords right now?

The first thing you should do is correct your on site SEO. Then you should focus on your off site SEO - mainly building more backlinks (you have 18 right now).

I can't see your target keywords... so it's hard to tell more.

You can PM me and we can go through your website SEO if you want.

Hey Commissioner, although i do not operate a dating training service, i do have a fair bit of knowledge about the "pickup community" as it is one of my areas of interest for the pass few years. what i can chip in to help boost your image aside from web-related SEO technical stuff would be to change your homepage promo video. Instead of simply showing someone talking about services you provide, what would create a much bigger impact would be showing LIVE infield footage of your instructors picking up women in LIVE sets etc mixed with some minor commentary on the services. That instantly creates rapport and connection with your target audience who are more inclined to sign up for your boot camps.

Hoped my ideas help.
Good Luck!
