What Am I Doing Wrong...?

Branlan17 · 11-16-2009, 09:25 AM

I'm sure it varies from niche to niche but I've have 20-40 people coming to my website each day with no sales in over 3 weeks. I was making great sales and all of a sudden my content fell off google and my sales rate went from 1 in 40 hops to um... no sales in the past 300.

I'd really want to get this campaign back on track and although my hop rate on my site is nearly always 40-50% those hops just aren't generating sales : /

Also, if anyone who has a lot of experience wouldn't mind taking a look at my website (maybe something there is turning off the "buy it" switch) and telling me what they think I'd be happy to PM them the link and the analysis would be very much appreciated! It's a competitive niche and I don't really want to give up but maybe I'm just spinning my wheels : /

It all depends on what changes your made to your site. You may need to change the content or even the produce you are promoting. If your visitors are not buying, then find out what they are interested in.

Sometimes doing an exit polls can reveal alot

If you're only getting 20 - 40 visitors per day, they may me largely the same ones looking for something new. Give them something new or try to reach a larger audience within your niche.

maybe its the niche?

Branlan17 · 11-16-2009, 06:17 PM

Analytics reports that 90%+ are new visitors each day so I dunno. And if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look at the site, let me know. Maybe I'm experiencing an anomaly... I wish I could get traffic.

I've been having the same problem. I was getting 1 sale about every 40 hops and now I'm currently at 165 hops without a sale as of right now.

It kind of sucks and I don't know if it's due to my page setup or my lack of traffic or what : /

Hi Branlan,

I can help you with your site. You don't have PM's activated though!

davis9461 · 11-16-2009, 07:16 PM

Here is a couple of things to look at:

1.You very well could be bleeding off your own traffic from you site if your site is not set up properly.
2. having just any content is not enough, you must have related content to what the buyer's are looking for. If you don't know what they are exactly looking for, then that could be part of the issue. You have to connect with your audience through your content, so they feel that you are giving them what they are looking for.
3. Make sure you are giving a strong call to action so your audience has direction on what to do and/or where to go.

Many other things could be a factor, but without taking a look it's hard to pin-point your exact issues. It does sound like you are off to a great start though, just some minor issues.

Branlan17 · 11-16-2009, 07:16 PM

I don't? What do I need to do?

Branlan17 · 11-16-2009, 07:19 PM

I've been sending and receiving these fine for weeks and now it says 7 / 0 allowed messages are in my inbox...

Nick Brighton · 11-16-2009, 07:21 PM

I've tried an email via the WF. Otherwise, just post your URL and I'll publically lay out what I think is going wrong...

...it could help a lot of people in your same situation.
