Help Please 400 views in 2 days and 0 click throughs

There's this one thing that you can try, and since i can't actually view your website, i'm taking a shot in the dark.

Don't try too hard. Take a look at the website and read it through the eyes of a random visitor. If you're trying too hard, it automatically sends alarm bells ringing in people's minds and they put their guards up. How that affects you is, they don't click.

So, read through your page a couple of times, and if you can, try and get some friends to look at it too. You can then talk to them about their views, and find out what else you could include, which would've made them click through.

Another thing. Are you sure that the keyword you're choosing is one which calls to action ?
Like maybe a "buy" type keyword ?
Try and pick your KWs such that the audience that comes to your site is already looking for the product you're selling.

Should help you improve your click-throughs a little..

It's hard to help you without seeing the page. Why don't you create a Warrior sig file and include your link. Then people will be able to offer suggestions.

You can always put adsense on the site.

Yes without seeing what exactly in your page we can't figure out how to get conversions..

I've put the website in my signature file. The keyword you see is the one I've optimised it for. It also seems to be optimised for Farmville tips and secrets which is totally unintentional.

Hi,

I've just started messing around with the farmville niche. The keyword farmville tips is definately a freebee hunter keyword. You should consider building a list though.

Hi Daz,

Read your page. Yes, you're certainly optimized for Farmville Tips. It's up
to you of course, but you know if you optimize if for something more of a
'buying' keyword you'll lose your ranking and be starting over again.

I would try some things and test it. You may be able to convert some people
who want 'more' tips, or more powerful tips.

I listened to a webinar a few days ago, and this guy used the Farmville game
niche as an example for doing demographic market research. So what a stroke
of good luck for you.

The majority of FV players are caucasian women in late teens up to 30s. Don't
recall the exact age in the 30s. So that is who you're talking to. You'll talk to
them differently from the way you'd talk to guys. Or women in other groups, etc.

One big difference with writing to a predominantly female audience is that they
just want to know what it does that will help them. Not interested in specifics,
details, specs, etc. That's a slight generalization but an accurate one. Of course
that can change depending on product and specific female demographic audience.

Ok...

Your copy takes too long to get to the meat. The meat's in the third paragraph. You
could actually delete the first two paragraphs and it would not hurt the copy. That's
one good indicator/test of the usefulness of copy.

The overall copy is homogeneous - all the same: 4-5 sentence paragraphs and a lot
of them. If you scroll up and down it looks like a wall of text. That does not help you.

Break it up.

Put some shorter paragraphs in there, 1-2 sentences. Not too many, just a few but
well-placed to break it up.

Now the worst part is that I can smell a sales pitch way before the end. If I can, you
can safely bet your readers can. It has to be completely transparent and "safe."

One thing you can try is talking about your tips. Then, take one or two tips from your
product and discuss them blindly. Don't identify them, outright. Don't mention they're
in a product. In fact...

Do not mention the product's name at all.

Just refer to this really powerful thing - tip, strategy, tactic, whatever - and do not
completely reveal it. Just mention one ultra cool "thing it will do for them." Ok?

Then, very casually mention that they can read more about that ultra cool thing...

>> here.

Don't mention link. Don't mention anything that can even be remotely associated
with "sales, selling, product, link to somewhere else, etc."

Put a few, 3 maybe, bulleted tips earlier in the copy around the middle, maybe. 3
tips you're giving away, anyway.

Use your judgement with how the revised copy appeals to your sense of space,
uncluttered look, etc.

Try all that and see what happens.

Well, your getting a nice amount of traffic and its a good clean site too.

I would also try adsense and see how that goes then maybe target the buying keywords.

In my own experience of playing computer/console games for years since the 80s I have never looked to buy any game guides whatsoever although I would look for freely available tips online regularly. I have owned loads of different gaming platforms and owned hundreds of games. So is there any other service for farmville you could market that doesnt involve tips ?

Going of what the poster above has just told us on the demographics for players (women 18 - 30), maybe even putting a beauty product on there that looks really tempting, most women of that age are very self concious when it comes to their looks. Just a block add like you have now.

Anythings worth a go before you blow your serps trying to get ranked for other keywords.

It's hard to comment without seeing your site.

But I now have 50 hubpages, and it's interesting to see that 90% of my clicks have come from a single hub! Needless to say if I write another 50 hubs like that one, I will be a moderately wealthy man!

Crank out that Google Analytics and get number crunching!

Thanks for all of you input guys and gals.

Ken Thompson, Very very helpful, thank you I'm gonna rewrite my copy completely and see what happens

Spot the ball, I may try some adsense as well as my current promotion and thanks for you take on the look of my site. I'll keep it as it is.

Hello Daz,
Ken's advice is spot on. It may also be worth putting the post about how to level up fast nearer the top of the page, as that is the information that most people want.
Good Luck,
Amanda
