Advice after starting out

11 replies
Hello fellow seniors,

I recently launched a new website and the niche is focused on "dating women"/

I bought a service from mycheapjobs that would bring in traffic based on a targetted keywords. THe keyword returns 40k results. The seller kept his promise on delivering 2900 friendly/safe panda search engine results based on that keyword I chose.

The opt-in rate was.. 0.06%..Out of 2900 people, only 2 opted in.

So yeah it was a major disaster. The usually opt-in rate are about 1%-3%.

I checked how long visitors stayed on my website and here are the statistics:

0s-30s 1,745 58.7 %
30s-2mn 1,055 35.4 %
2mn-5mn 23 0.7 %
5mn-15mn 21 0.7 %
15mn-30mn 18 0.6 %
30mn-1h 30 1 %
1h+ 62 2 % Unknown

So..long story cut short..can anyone advice what went wrong or how can I improve my conversation rate? I know there are a lot of reasons. But I prefer to tackle them 1 by 1.

This is the website visitors will see upon landing

    First thing I noticed was the punch in the face with the instant pop-up as soon as I arrived on site. Try it as an exit pop up instead. Test,test,test
    Also have content that makes YOU the authority and why people should listen to you

      Hello guys, thanks for the feedbacks!

      After summing up all the feedbacks overnight, I would need to..

      1) Redo the landing page
      2) Get a good headline (emotionally fuelled subject)
      3) Replace the Logo
      4) Use reliable sources of traffic.

      Actually, I thought of using the article that was linked to my post as a "bribe" to get users to opt-in.

      They would need to opt-in to read the full guide.

      Apparently my website doesn't look professional...

      I know what I need to do now..

      By the way, could anyone suggest a good dating solo ads seller?

      I'm thinking of buying solo ads and trying out the PPC.

      Thanks!!

    Are you 100% certain that you are being sent targeted traffic?

    The popup optin appeared as soon as I went to your page. I think that is very offputting for a start. Better to have it appear after several seconds.

    It is quite wordy too. I think you need to simplify it. It is a matter of testing things out.

    Why does your site have Glow Theme at the top? You need a good header image there.

    In the article The Secret In Attracting Girls the large blocks of fairly light text are hard to read. Can you break them up into smaller paragraphs and make them darker?

    As Scotty says it's a matter of testing.

    Good luck

    Sandy

    Junk traffic won't convert.

      I replied to an offer some time ago for I think it was 2000 visitors for a very low price to be delivered within a week. I thought it would kick start my project, but although all visits were delivered and it looked good on my website stats page, I got no results.

      I guess it was simply trash traffic and not targeted in any way.

      More recently I tried a solo add which cost more for just a 200 visits and that produce around 90 signups!

      Give solo ads a try. You should get a much better results.

        In my opinion there is too much to read. A landing page should be very simple with a good headline which describes the goal of visitor. In your case, attracting women.

        So a good headline maybe something like. "Discover how you can start attracting and dating the women you've always dreamed of today"

        Now I can't say that headline would work for you as you will need to test different ones.

        Have a look at my landing page as an example. Copy And Profits Blueprint

        Hope this helps

    Yeah who knows about this traffic to begin with... thats a major premise.

    Also, I think there are some major corrections on this landing page.

    1. Your logo. You are still showing the default theme's logo, not the logo of an actual website. "Glow Theme" doesn't ring reputable website to me.

    2. Waaaay too many options for people to click on anything but the CTA.

      Could you make it into more of a 'sales page' with less distractions in the side bar, etc? If you Google 'sales page copy', you'll find loads of hints and tips.

      It's an emotion fuelled subject, so try to appeal to people's emotions by asking questions. So, for example, 'Are you sick and tired of having no luck with women? Do you wish that you could talk to women in bars, and grab their attention every time? Do you want to find the woman of your dreams?'

    I think you need to spend some effort or money to get your website done properly. It isn't very attractive or clear what are you promoting.

    Create a proper splash page and send quality traffic to your site. Use PPC or POF for a start. Rely on trusted traffic sources than junk traffic.

    Ya you definitely need a more reliable source of traffic. You should start building up free traffic with Youtube or Facebook and test your site with that, then once you understand your metrics better you can start to buy some ads
