Hi StopByte,

I understand that getting a huge amount of visitors a month while getting no conversion is extremely infuriating. But conversion is an art of persuasion. On your site, the only persuasion I see comes from your light box popup.

First of all, be a little hard on yourself, put yourself in the visitors' shoes, and ask these questions:
1. What the hell is Odin? A Norse god? A newly released Samsung phone? I know it's an antivirus, but I can't grasp what it is until I read your article. That's too much effort for me. You should make my life easier by telling me what it is directly.
2. "Download Odin v3.10-v3.10.6-Samsung Kies-Samsung Smart Switch". Why should I?
Give me 3 STRONG reasons, and I'll do what you say. And tell me the reasons, in my face, meaning I want to know what I'll get out of the deal right away!

Those are just a few suggestions. And this is gonna change your view: Go to MarketingExperiments channel on Youtube and subscribe. You'll probably learn more about marketing in 2 hours than you will in 3 months elsewhere.

Hope that helps! And all the best!

Aside from the great information that BudiT has provided... I have a question..

WHY are you charging for something that is available for FREE?

and better yet unless you are the creator of the software why are you charging for something that is intended to have free access BY the creator?

I really do get what you are "trying" to do... the sources of this stuff is always spammy and full of a bunch of stuff you don't want. THAT.. I get. BUT the truth is YOU CANT sell something that is not yours, or that you do not have permission to sell. - there are laws that prohibit such activity.

show some kind of proof, the above is true ( you do have permission to sell these ) and I will be more than happy to provide you with some insight on how to convert the search engine listing domination you do have, into buyers.

just for everyone else reading I did some research on the listing this site has and in many cases for "main" keywords he has like 6 out of the top 7 positions...

How I Made $125 Within First Month of My Blog?

Womaster got his first blogging income of $64 within first two weeks of his new blog and end of the month he made $125.

He says that he made that amount with 20-30 daily traffic.

Your problem is more common than you think. My question to you is how and where are you getting your visitors? Many visitors fall into 3 stages

The curious stage
The information/researcher stage.
The searching to buy stage.

My quess is that most of your visitors fall into the first 2 stages. And these people almost never purchase on the first exposure. And the 3rd case will only purchase if you're the best choice he can find, on and off the internet.

So, I'd focus a little more on building trust with your visitors by giving them a reason to come back. Offer a free gift to get them on your list. Then develop a deeper relationship over a period of time.

Research has long confirmed it takes at least 5 to 7 contacts before most prospects will buy from you in most cases. If you're depending on one and done contacts - your putting far too much pressure on your sales page to perform. Most Fortune 500 companies don't do that.

You're right, exposure is really important. Actually that number '5 to 7' has been upped recently to 11. Nowadays it's harder to persuade people to buy just from a few contacts. Anyone who's doing retargeting should know the fact.

For increasing the conversion rate it is important to have a good look and feel of your website, i think you need to work on the look of your website.

Stop Byte · 16th May 2015, 04:26 PM

wow, thanks for all the replies. I actually sold that site, and started to make some money.I have taken on board what you all have posted, thanks guys

There could be so much that is causing the low conversion. What's the bounce rate like? If I visit your site do I find what I was probably looking for? Are you collecting emails and following it up later?

How are you getting 500 visitors with an empty website? What in the world are you trying to convert? There's nothing on the other side of the equation!!
