Good Traffic, But No Sales. What Do you Think?

Where is your traffic coming from? Also how many clicks to the sales page are you getting? I took a look at the your presale page and I liked the story. I would consider buying if I had that problem.

I think that's because you're not building a list.

It's terribly difficult to make more than the occasional semi-random sale of a ClickBank product without a list.

What sells the products is the strength of the relationship between the person recommending the product and the customer. And you can't normally establish the credibility and trust needed without first making them subscribers.

How to Get Clickbank Sales?

There are grammatical issues with the message which may or may not make visitors less inclined to buy into the credibility of the site but the main concern is probably where the traffic is coming from. Also, as others have suggested, list-building is a good way to increase sales/conversion rate.

Hi Guys, Im totally new here in fact have just signed up... from reading i guess this is where I should post, like I said new to forums and this forum had some really interesting topics hence joining...

I have the same problem I seem to get a bit of traffic but struggle with conversions, I have actual product to sell with a market that is being flooded with other sellers... I have a few keywords im working with and in the last couple of days have risen up thanks to a really good package...

All these keywords are going to the link on my site:
w w w. lithiumav. co. uk / store / electrovoice-speakers-dj-club-ev-live-x-tour-x-electro-voice-amp-cheap-pro-audio.html


I sell speakers etc.. I was wondering how i can increase conversions on the site?

Keywords:

Electrovoice
Electro Voice
EV Speakers
EV Live X
DJ speakers

I have also bought some domains:

which i cant obviously list as i haven't posted 15 times or more, however they are relevant to the keywords / phrases , does this help ?

Any advice would be great a litte over my head but im really trying, I guess I just need to know what to do with the above now !

I have also bought a couple of other domains that I thought I could maybe forward to my shop that would help ?

Just asking for some advice really please !

Cheers in advance !

ok how are you advertising this website? And I see your aiming for organic constant traffic flow.

Why dont you build a list. If you not sure how, you can message me and Ill walk you through step by step.

Money is in the list and Content is King

this is because may be your site visitors are from other niche/ category for ex: you offering seo ebooks but your visitors are not attached with IM.

Lets pretend for a second that the traffic is coming from a good source, and that you are attracting the right market/traffic for your offer.

The first problem I see is that you are going in for the close to early, you have the right idea, the image of the girls makes it look like your going to tell them an inspirational story of hope and cure.

You then kill it right away with your opening lines, I bet your bounce rate is very high.

Instead of

Hey Susan here,

If you are looking for the best way to cure your angular cheilitis quickly, then I’m glad you’ve found this website and i strongly suggest you keep reading…
(But if you want to skip straight to the cure, then

*****

You lose them right away

you would be better of starting like this.

My name is susan I understand what you are going through. I have suffered with AC for 10 years and I know what it's like to have an embarrassing looking and painful mouth sore.

I knew I was never going to get a boyfriend because who would want to kiss a girl with a nasty sore on her mouth.

*****

So now they are hooked continue telling your story and at the very end just say something like

****

To find out exactly how I was able to get rid of my AC visit *whatever link .com or whatever.

This was the miracle I was looking for and I hope with all my heart that it will be the same miracle for you.

*****

I'm assuming this story is true, but if not make sure you have a Actors Portrayal disclaimer somewhere on the page to avoid getting the pants sued off you.

That is not legal advice by the way, I am not a lawyer and know nothing of the sorts. That's just what I see drug commercials doing and I have no idea if it's legal or not.

Anyway, i would usually recommend building a list but in this case it is not really required, this is actually a very powerful CPA strategy used even by big sites like Yahoo and other news sharing sites for a boots in sales when the profits are down.

It can convert upwards of 30% or higher with the right offer and the right traffic. Which in this case if you had your own product in this niche you could still build a list of people who have purchased building strictly a buyer list.

Also the copy on the actual sales page is to small and very straining on the eyes. there is too much bold and underlining.

If that is not your sales page you might want to have one professionally written and use the clickbank bypass code, that way the vendor is still getting sales and you still get your commission everything is legit there, but you are sending traffic to a higher converting sales page.

it works just like it does if you were to link to it regularly, but also make sure to email the vendor and ask for permission to use your sales page. When he see's it is converting higher, he will most likely want to use it for his main page.

I actually learned this when someone did it to me, and it was awesome I didn't mind at all.

Have a pop-up offering a free gift if they choose to leave the site. In return you get their email and put them on the list, then you can try and sell them again by email. Research shows that only a small number of people buy anything the first time. So by putting them on the list you have a better chance of doing it.

Problem Number 1 : Wrong Theme Selection
Your theme isn't good for reading. When I started affiliate marketing I read that a white canvas with black written work converts better than any other canvas and written work. I was little skeptical about this but after testing I found that it isn't really myth my conversions improved 2-3% on each of my website where I made these changes. Try using different theme.

Problem Number 2: Bad Navigation System
Your website navigation options does not show category or recent articles list.

Problem Number 3: No RSS Feed And No List Building
If you are selling a digital product you must build list and if you are building site for physical products or just information you must use feedburner to burn your feed and deliver it via email.

Problem Number 4: No or improper use of image
I don't know what's others opinion on this but so far as I think one image must appear above fold.

Problem Number 4: Improper or wrong placement of affiliate links
There's practically no affiliate links on your blog posts. As an advise I would recommend add an image above fold, link your affiliate link to it and add caption click here to lern more(something that'll appear better as per article).
Below each of your blog post add an advertisement with 3 sentences along with product banner on opposite side of first image.

Problem Number 5: No use of bullet point on hard-sell copy
When you want to make a sell from some perticular page it is important to add bullet points. Your paragraphs must not be greater than 3-4 lines. Make use of bold, italics and heading tag. Make use of red color if you can make use of it properly. Try JSON box if possible or try using a dashed table.

I hope above tips might help you improve your conversions

TB quite H, I think the actual affiliate sales page is doing you no justice

Your page seems fine to me, maybe a tweak here and there.

Aweber provides a lightbox pop-up solution, and it's free

All i got to say is WOW, you guys are amazing. Nicholasb you are truly the man! Honestly, just reading your post gave me a mini class in copywriting.
This is def. a quicker, to the point method of preselling. I really appreciate it man.

Along with the tips from nrupen concerning the functionality of the website, i am sure i can get these sales rolling. These are def. two major issues the would keep you from making sales.

You guys have gone above and beyond! Thanks all!

this is like a squeeze page on a WP.

I think you need a re design to start converting.

The problem is TRUST, user interaction is the key, visitor comments and your replies, facebook fan box in the sidebar,

Headline, sub headline, such as "Learn How You Can Get Rid of...."

And you'll make at least 7 sales a month, I have site that gets around 1000 unique visitors a month and makes over $1K (40-50 sales) , 1 out of 20 visitors buy the product,

hope that helps,

Keep updating your content whenever needed. Also make sure that you keep it fresh and unique too. Keep an eye on the traffic it gets, I mean the nature of traffic. Off target traffic will not serve your purpose. Therefore think in terms of getting targeted traffic to your site. Numbers do not matter after all, it is the quality of the traffic that really matters!

Your ad placement can have a lot to do with why your getting that many visitors and no sales. You need to make sure you play around with it to figure out which ad placement is getting your actual money method seen most. Then if you are getting your ad clicked on at a better rate and still not getting sales, it may have something to do with the traffic you are getting. It's not a bad site so other than that I'm not sure why your not getting conversions.

Are you making this story up? If you are, I have no sympathy for you especially when it comes to health issues. I happened to suffer from this condition in the past.

There is no need to lie and create fake testimony to sell online.

A proper review site converts better. Tell visitors the good and the bad and let them make their own decision. You can still sound neutral even when you are saying good things about the product.

You should write "review" articles, not "sales letters".

If this is a true story, my sincere apology.

^ Great info David

Google Dreams--

I really, really do not mean this to sound overly critical.. and all the marketing advice is great to read But, I do have to comment that I don't think the story sounds as if it was written by a female. And I really think you should loose the comment about "finding a boyriend"-- and stick with your original thought that it makes you feel socially embarassed, and shy- reluctant to get out and date or mingle, so to speak.
I'm also curious about your target audience? Isn't the primary cause of this a vitamin deficiency-- or dentures? those sound like the majority of the people who suffer from this might be a tad older than the young lady on your site doing the selling. I could be wrong.. but a quick check on Web MD came up with those causes.. ?

More images, and as mentioned the grammar is pretty bad.

the link in the call to action takes you right to the shopping cart, did you want this, or do you want to send them to the sales page?

Test everything in the site according to these valuable advices that you received from WF members.

I really enjoy reading them one by one.

Your add placement can have a lot to do with why your getting that many visitors and no sales, you need to make sure you play around with it figure out which ad placement is getting your actual money method seen most...

Have you ever evaluate where your traffic come from? I guess you need to find more sources where you can easily convert visitors into customers. Based on experience social media networks are good sources of traffic as well as it offers good conversion.
