Hi fellow warriors, its time I make a desperate cry for help! After spending a lot of my hard earned cash I have had huge amounts of traffic to my site from the keyword I was tarketing. The trouble is I have had just under 1000 visitors in 5 days and only 1 sale!
Please help - be as harsh as you can to help!
Thanks
Oh the site is teethwhitening-review(dot)org

    This is just my opinion:
    1. It looks like you put this site together in under 5 minutes
    2. The header image needs drastic improvement and looks cheap
    3. Everyone can tell you're using an out of the box Thesis theme with NO customization at all
    4. All of your main content and reviews are below the fold so no one is going to quickly see them
    5. There are a plethora of styling issues.

    Sorry, but yes I'd give this site all of 2 seconds of my time understanding why you created it in the first place.

    Eek, hard to put a point on something that needs attention. ALL of it does.

    The header needs to be changed. Id rather see a large font text heading than that.

    You need to make sure everything is aligned nicely.

    I would suggest putting your table above the fold. If you have a large bounce rate, people aren't seeing that table, and I'm assuming that is what you want to draw the attention to.

    You have the #1 image and #2 Image different. I really thought it was just a random image at first until I looked at everything. Maybe have a banner saying The #1 Teeth Whitening etc. etc.

    I would do a redesign. Just my 2 cents.

    Modernians,

    Yeah, sorry, the theme sucks. You've got to try and look at it from a CUSTOMER'S point of view, not from a marketing point of view. It's the number one reason why most "IMers" fail; they listen to the marketing crap and think that their customers will think the same way.

    Not so.

    Find yourself a nice theme that allows a few graphics of NICE WHITE TEETH and also has less 'busy' on the main page.

    Currently it just looks like a typical spam site - the kind that Google is working had to ban.

    There are certain things you need to know about site and traffic.

    There are many good and bad forms of traffic, how are you sure you really received real targeted visitors.

    Your site have so many products/services on them, therefore the conversion rate will suck and buying traffic will be a bloody waste of money.

    Here is my little recommendation.

    You can not continue buying traffic especially when you are not promoting a pricey product or six figure income. Work on optimizing your site for the search engines and build back links instead in order to get free targeted organic traffic.

    You also don't have a squeeze page, that is why 99.9% of your traffic will be a waste especially when you are paying dearly for it.

    You need to re-strategize.

      Hey John,
      I've never paid for traffic for this site, its all 100% organic from a buyer keyword. So this isn't the problem!

    Send your traffic to squeeze pages. Not sales pages. Work on building an email marketing list. Then sell products to the list.

    One thing - the design of your site does not make me trust you. It look somewhat amateurish. No offense, but I think this is the main reason why you have a low conversion rate.
