Opinions - What would you do with this
Ok, after looking through a GREAT thread in the warroom (if you're not in there, you're missing out) i decided to throw together a really simple little review site for clickbank products. All are in the 'self help' niche, containing diet, 'get your ex back' and a few others like acne..etc.
The site is about 2 days old. In the warroom's example, this was a simple little site, that started picking up traffic out of nowhere. So i wanted to do a little experiementing to see if i could figure out what was causing the sales. The original site's copy is not pushy in anyway, relatively short, but very well written.
I did the copy on my site myself. Now i'm not a copywriter, but I think the copy is passable and is written with keywords in mind
With all the SEO on the site (its a basic wp site), its been run through webseo and submitted to most search engines. Its not dmoz submitted yet.
I decided to try adwords, thinking if organic searches are doing well, maybe a little push and they will do better. I picked search terms that were almost non-existent for local searches but monthly global searches are atleast 2000+ and quite a few are 20k+ globally and NO competition (according to google keyword tool) so people are looking for these keywords (they are in the diet niche). The bonus is the cpc on all of them is only .05 apiece. So i threw 100 in adwords and away we go. Like i said, just testing here, not a full on campaign.
In 24 hours the site has recieved 160 new visitors, they are staying on the site an average of 1:30, and going an average of 2 pages deep in the site, with a 50% bounce rate, but no sales through cb. Even the small adwords skyscraper i have to the side is barely getting attention.
I'm thinking that its the copy on the site and maybe I need to have someone more skilled that myself write the copy to push people out to the final purchase
Any thoughts or suggestions?
