Site Visits vs CB Hops

I have been looking for some info about this situation, but have not really been able to find what I'm searching for, so if this is in the wrong place, please let me know, and I'll go there, if not, here it is.

The last 2 months, my primary site is starting to get a little traffic, which is good. So far, since June 1, I've had just under 2,000 unique visits, and for a site that's only 4 months, old, I'm pretty happy with that rate of growth. However, in that same amount of time, Ive had approx 50 clicks to the vendor page. It's a clickbank product, so it's pretty easy to check that.

My question is this: Is there a rate that is expected for visits vs hops or is that just something that is assumed is a non-problem? I looked up generating hops and clickthrough traffic both on here in you tube, and the closest piece I found as a video on how to redirect your url to the affiliate link, directly. Not exactly what I was thinking of, but still a interesting thought. But a little too 'grey hat' for me.

Is this a metric that I'm worrying too much about? The 50 hops I have had since June 1 are converting at around a 1.5% conversion rate, so I'm happy about that, but I'm just wondering if it's the pre-sell or copy on my site that's not enticing enough to get the visitor to click through.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks.
