    Ive checked out your site. Looks really good. Im a cyclist as well, can you give me a review on my set?
    Its a Bmw mountain bike full carbon, control tech rigid fork carbon, ritchey WCS carbon handlebar, fulcrum red metal 5 wheelset, xt groupset 2x10 speed, FSA carbon stem, kmc chain, crank brothers candy 2 pedals, a2z floating disc brake rotors (spade), tioga skewers, bottle cage carbon, kenda klimax lite 345g tires.

    Anyway, Heres my advice, if you want to increase conversion, promoting it on Facebook is really efficient, you'd be surprised as to how many bicycle groups are there. You can promote it too and sharing it but make sure you dont appear to be spammy. You have to engage in conversations. Also, go to Reddit and promote it. they have sub-reddits for cyclist, they hate self promotion tho but just keep on engagin in that community and passively tell them that you have this website about it. Also, have you ever considered media buying?

    That kind of niche has a big potential btw, bikes are timeless and its not gonna die anytime soon. If you think its going to attract more. Pay for traffic, preferably thru a DSPs with a RTB platform. It has multiple targeting options and easily scalable. I i may suggest, check these guys out Bluagile - Self-Serve Ad Platform | RTB | Retargeting | Mobile ive heard good reviews from them.

    But I must say, your website has a great content and also minimal (Less is more)
    I think you can work more on visuals like look for high quality images etc.
    and also the way you organize your layout is kinda busy to look at. Maybe you should work on that too.
    This will help you earn more traffic and people will come back to your site frequently.
    and I agree with dustinthewind, paying for a traffc can give you more boost for traffic.

    Hi, Mpmurray

    To be honest with you, it took me some time to understand what's the purpose of your site. I noticed the Amazon Associates diclaimer at the bottom and then found that there are affiliate links inside the product descriptions. But, man, if it was hard to find the purchase link even when I was looking for it you know that you won't get a lot of sales.

    Make the affiliate links stand out. Maybe convert them into buttons. Use contrasting colors. The link text should contain a call to action word like "Buy" or "Purchase" or something.

    Regarding the traffic source - don't expect high conversion rates from Twitter. It's usually not buyer traffic.

    Thanks for taking out the time out to review my website. I will be following your advice. I can't really afford paid traffic yet, as I am trying to get the basics write on my site first. I will definitely be getting a page on Facebook.

      Hi Bright Future,

      I mention those things to the OP in an earlier thread that he started: http://www.warriorforum.com/pay-per-...l#post10503189

      Thanks for adding to that advice with specific ways to work on it. Not sure the OP gets how important that is to the success of his website.

      Hi Mpmurray,

      That's the second person that looked at your website and immediately saw the same issues that I noticed. Don't worry about getting traffic until you fix those elements on your website. Your website isn't ready yet for marketing. Any traffic you are getting now is just wasted on a poorly optimized website design.

      After you make those badly need corrections to your website, then just maybe you will be able to afford paid traffic.
