My website needs a boost

Alright, I've done over a hundred backlinks to my blog, done as much concerning SEO optimization to it as possible, and I linked to hundreds of other high profile websites (these links are updated frequently).

I have very keyword targeted articles on there, it is based on a .info domain with my keywords in it, a professional looking template, and a twitter account for it.

The niche it's based on is not very competitive at all, but has potential, I think.

I'd hate to be impatient, but at this point in time, I have sort of a time limit of a month or 2 to make my first sale.

I've been researching tonight and have done some searching on here as well, but I think this is better answered by humans rather than a search engine.

I only receive around 1 clickbank hop and 12 hits a day as I wait patiently for to google crawl my backlinks. It's really taking it's time on that.

What would you do with a timelimit of 1-2 months with this website? How would you make it sell a clickbank product in that time?

Please help me brainstorm.

    You need to drive traffic to your site; it will not just come (at least not in the timeframe that you are looking at). There are loads of resources on WF that already deal with this, but articles are a good place to start. A footer on your WF and other blog posts might also help.

    As far as the work that you have already done is concerned, are your backlinks of good quality? Also are they "follow" links that search engines will take note of. I personally would not have included the links to "hundreds of other high profile websites". If they are "follow" links they are destroying your Google PR ranking (not always a problem) and if they are "nofollow" links there is no purpose to them. They are also a distraction to visitors. I prefer my visitors to have nowhere to go except my pages or affiliate links.

    Are your page titles optimized for your key words? Are your < h1 > and < h2 > tags titles optimized for your key words? Is the first paragrph of your text really optimized for your key words?

    Have you set up the site in Google's Webmaster Tools" and included a site map?

    Finally, next time choose a .com name. In my experience a .com name is much much easier to get placed highly in Google than a .info.

    Hope the above thoughts are helpful. Use the search function on WF; it's a great resource if used carefully.

    Cheers,

    Clive

      Really? Should I get rid of those links, then?

      I'm pretty sure they are follow links.

      I heard they would help my rankings.

      Are your page titles optimized for your key words? Are your < h1 > and < h2 > tags titles optimized for your key words? Is the first paragrph of your text really optimized for your key words?
      My title pages are all optimized and have my targeted keywords in them.

      Concerning the h1 and h2 tags, I'd never heard of those. I'm looking those and their purpose up on google now.

      Have you set up the site in Google's Webmaster Tools" and included a site map?
      Yes, I've made sure that's set up properly.

      Finally, next time choose a .com name. In my experience a .com name is much much easier to get placed highly in Google than a .info.
      That's what I thought. I'd heard from someone that .info domains can rank just as easily. That's why I initially got it, but I'm starting to think it's working against me.

      Thanks for your thoughts.

    Driving more traffic is easy. It's how consistent and committed you can be.

    I advise going hard on Web 2.0, article marketing (AM).

    Web 2.0? Run a bunch of Squidoo lens. Resister also on Weebly, Quizilla, Wetpaint etc. They all make great quality backlinks.

    Article marketing wise, it'll help if you had an auto-submitter. Saves you a lot of precious time.

    If you got more to spend on investment, try PPC. More practice, more results.

      Ah, great advice!

      I'll be sure to take action on these to see if I can generate more traffic.
