    I don't have time to do a complete analysis; people pay us to do that. I can tell you that it is nearly impossible to get pages to rank without any words on them. Your home page and category pages have zero words on them. Those are the pages that offer the most potential for searches, so get a decent amount of words on the pages that describe the site or the categories. Bare minimum 300 words but preferably 1,000 or more.

    Also, the product pages are copied text that is the same as dozens of other websites.

    With zero original content, this site has zero chance of ever ranking organically in the search engines. If that doesn't matter to you, you will need to find another way of driving traffic.

    It is a good looking site, though!

      Exactly!

      I like how you picked a niche and don't simply sell random clothing or electronic accessories like 99% of the other people do. However, bring in more text, maybe even upload a video on the main page since I could greatly imagine a boxing-related video for this.

      PS: The site looks very similar to one that I made for a client, looks nice haha

  • @ ring Exclusive;

    Nice to know you are good at narrow downing on selling what you know, which is good. Just like the way you are selling something unique your portal (user Interface, text, photos, design) should also represent in the same.

    Look for some best web designers who can give life to this with better graphics, professional content, video. Also get review done by some of the local boxers....

    Best wishes.

    Your site is impressive , your layout and ideas are wonderful but your niche is quite weak , there are not that many buyers in your niche unless , you are willing to put posters in boxing gyms and forums . Lots of people box as a hobby and most of them do this at a gym , where wearing fancy gear is not necessary and it can even be purchased at a cheaper price there , the professional boxers are also seldom interested in buying gear when they are provided by their sponsors for free , young aspiring boxers might be interested but how many are they and can they afford it? can you find the few who can? I don't know how to put this , but if you really want to make a sale change your niche , I recommend pet accessories they convert like magic even with facebook traffic . Women and young ladies especially buy a lot of these things and most of them hangout in pet groups and fan pages all over facebook You would be shocked how many sales you would be making in this niche , the products are inexpensive so sales roll in very fast.

    Hi Ring Exclusives


    Your site looks really amazing however you may wanna changed the structure of the site, I had to scroll down my computer screen before I actually start seeing the products you selling, that's not good . My advice to you is ,go do some research on similar stores that already successful see how they are structured then do the same with your site. In terms of promoting your store , well first you need to understand your target audience very well & the best place to find them.

    I would bring up the categories on the left into a navigation bar on top of the slider. Then increase the slider size to make it wider. Also create a logo rather than just writing your shop name on the top.

    But most importantly, already start on SEO working now. It takes time to get good backlinks and establish a brand. Work on your social media and content marketing. There is so much in martial arts to write about. So make use of that. If you have a spare minute and are fed up with product descriptions and design, already work on drafting blog posts. I like your buyer's guide.

    Your items are good for Thai, Kick, Boxing and MMA. So you have lots and lots for content marketing.

    I'd love to give you feedback, but your site seems to be unavailable right now. If you are interested in SEO, there are a few resources you could check out. I have linked a couple that are good for those who are just starting out:

    How to retain more customers on your ecommerce site (with a special emphasis on SEO)

    Quiz: How well is your ecommerce actually performing?

    Hope it helps!

    Thanks
    Your site link is not opening up but anyways I'll still add up something fruitful to this thread of yours. First make sure that you put up a best product from your merchandize as a showcase to attract visitors on your site. Second create some call-to-action advertisements on social media sites to spread out your target demographic. If you can manage some time out of your schedule then start up a blog on the side to promote your content.

    Cheers-James
