    I'd think about overhauling your site before you try to drive a lot of traffic to it.

    As it stands, I think your site is pretty confusing. It took me quite a few minutes to figure out exactly what I was getting with your site. I'd do something to make sure it's PLAINLY clear what your site does as soon as the visitor arrives.

    When I showed up, "MyGemstone" as a URL made me think I was going to a site that sells gemstones. Then the "Marriage Issues?" and other images had me thinking that I was visiting the wrong website altogether.

    It honestly took me about three or four minutes to put together what your site actually does, and I consider myself a pretty sharp, Internet savvy gentleman.

    I'd consider going with a layout similar to the ones these websites are using:

    https://www.uber.com/

    Zendesk.com | Customer Service Software | Support Ticket System

    Granted - these are two huge companies. But the concept that their sites follow is NOT hard to execute.

    Both websites have a very simple idea behind them, and these downward-scrolling websites cleanly, simply, cleverly, and elegantly present what the sites are about using visuals and minimal copy.

    I'd consider going with a design like this. I guarantee you that you can build a site looking as nice as these ones for right around $100.

    Good luck!

    You can use Google ads or Amazon to advertise your site.

    Yeah. You can directly advertise products from your site on Amazon, instead of having an Amazon Seller Account.

    I would probably try and use facebook ads. It seems to be the best way to go right now

    All you need to do is promote using social media as the main approach. Today any industry keeps importance in the social media. The main generator of traffic. Even certain social networking sites are there which works as a search engine. So its a very common approach to target the social media.

    This is a little vague and is almost like saying "I want to make money".

    One of the first things you need to get in order is your website. It's a bit confusing and could benefit from a complete redesign to be easier from a UX perspective.

    In addition, you only have 4 pages indexed in Google. Maybe the new site should contain a little bit more content.

    If you don't fix the site with an emphasis on onpage SEO, you're still going to have a problem with converting even if you have paid traffic.

You can adopt the method of blogging and guest blogging will help original content will be more helpful for a website to increase the visitors in their website.

    I think one of the reasons that your site might be performing poorly is due to how confusing it is.

    It's pretty tough to figure out what your site is all about, and this is kind of one of the first things that should really jump out at the visitor when they arrive.

    The product or service that your site offers should be extremely apparent, with everything about your site -- design, copy, everything -- servicing the product or service that you offer. Making it more appealing and attractive to your audience.

    You're on the right track with a very simple design - there's a lot of breathing space on your site, which is great. I'd look into a longer scrolling site, and go with a nice Google-esque design. A lot of sites are going this route -- you can check out zendesk.com for an example. Of course, their site looks about as expensive as it really is. But the design principles are really simple, and easy to grasp. Just about anyone could mimic the look/feel of that site with a minimal budget. You might not be able to get all the fancy stuff they have, like that lovely, auto-playing video...but that design principle is a great route to go with a site like yours.

    This website is not ready for the user, much less the index. I would look into actually defining your business (horoscopes? these can be gotten for free). If you are selling "birth stones" then try and get into either Magento or maybe Bigcommerce or Shopify and build a store that actually sells product.

    This is not what I would consider "E-Commerce"
