10000 Visits A Day And No Sales

Ajeet, Affiliate industry much evolved. Selling some useless or less-use stuffs to people is not easy as it was years ago. Try to make use of the clickbank product and write in detail how it helped you. If you can shoot video and add it to your page.

When you say getting "10000 visits a day" are you actually getting those visitors at your site?

Or is it your projected expectations?

Well first of all, it all depends that what type of visitors you are getting from google because not all keywords convert neither all clickbank products get sold....there are some niches which no matter what you do will never convert, so its better to get less visitors on a converting product rather than more visitors on a zero converting product...well i can give you exactly what to do.....if you give me more details.....like exact information regarding your site & product..becoz there are lots of ways to increase peoples response & some small research work are also involved...

What is the CTR from your articles to the Clickbank offer? You might need to work on your resource box to get more traffic to the sales page.

As sourya says if you can give us more information and maybe link to an article we'll be able to help you out more easily.

Switch offers and try everything... Clickbank isnt your only option

Hi Ajeet,

Did you get all the 10000 visitors from your articles?

I think you should have at least gotten some sales if all the traffic come from your article. Maybe here are the 4 different components that you want to consider?

1) Do you provide useful and valuable content in your article?

2) Do you have a good resource box so that more people will click the link and go to your website?

3) Are you promoting product that has good sales conversion? You might want to change to another lead product and track the sales conversion.

4) Did you choose a market that is proven to be profitable? There is no point in selling product in a market where the people are not spending money.

Hope my humble contribution helps

If your getting that many visitors then send some of them to different products then you can see which one converts.

You did use redirect links so you can change them without editing your article didn't you

Or you could try building a list you have more chance of getting the sales with many clickbank products if you expose people to the offer several times.

Having a list is also another way of being able to test different products.

If you're getting tat many visitors to your article there will be a way to earn some good money from them you have to keep testing and tweaking.

Then when it works you can write a load more articles and really scale thinks up don't worry your on the way.

I don't know what is going on there, that's incredible! I would have thought with 10000 clicks at least 1 person a day would buy. I would check your affiliate links are ok first, it may sound basic but just to be sure. Otherwise I would seriously try a different product.

Try CPA ( if you think you are giving good information to your visitators ) or find a free ebook to give away and make them complete a survey before they can download the ebook. I think you are not getting sales because your not into a selling niche...

Well maybe you could search other clickbank products that has better conversion, you can see at clickbank and search best products that convert well, or if you subscribes to some active internet marketer list they usually send you email to promote products from clickbank, maybe you can also try to promote the products too.

Seriously, you are getting 10k hits on some articles PER DAY and don't make money? Where is that gasping smiley? Your article must be bad, bad resource box and probably bad landing page too. Otherwise i am lost.

Sometimes the problem with a gravity of even 174 is that everyone who might have clicked through to the site and saw the product, already saw the product and didn't want it, or already has it.

Another option is go is to find a similar product, that has a good sales page and try to promote that product instead.

Even so, if you have had 10000 views, with a 5% CTR which is 500 clicks to your site, even at a very very low 1% conversion should have resulted in around 5 sales. And this is at the very lowest end of the spectrum.

However, I would test out your link, and make sure you are getting to the sales page ok, and make sure that when you click to buy it, that your affiliate ID does come up.

Anyways, that is the advice I have for now.

-- Jeff

Based on what you say you know that people visit the articles' page but do they read? You don't have way to know that...

What you can do is tweak the article a little bit, try to engage people so that they read the entire article...

Also, take a look at your call to action, try to change it to see if it works better.

It is all about testing so, don't think that it doesn't work, just apply some changes to see how it works.

Thanks,

hmm if your clickbank product has a gravity of 174. there should be some kind of a buzz around it already. Hence, there should be people already interested in buying traffic. I think the ones reading your articles are not "buyers".

Create a landing page, capture the leads. Its easier to sell to someone that already knows you than to get new traffic. Secondly, if you want to get them to buy from you, give a unique bonus which only you yourself are giving.

For example, say the product is a "how to make money as an affiliate using youtube". Make yourself unique by saying that you will give a live case study of how to use the program if they are buying from you. So it becomes unique and they will more than likely buy from you.

I hope this helps.

There are a lot of things in questions, are this visitors real people or just projected expectations.

I recommend you start tracking your ads if you haven't yet, that is the only way you can really determine if your visitors are unique, where they visit on your page and which page they opt out.

From there you will know which step to take.

Note, most people who land on your site won't buy from you, it takes about 3 to 7 contact to close a sale. Create an opt-in pag where visitors can subscribe for your free information and leave there contact address in exchange for a free information. You auto-responder should take care of the rest.

Best Wishes,
John

10000 hits and no money? Damn, that has to be frustrating.

One thing you can do is build a list. Another thing that is even better and
has worked perfectly for me is to sign up with CPALead and offer some kind
of premium content. To view the content the visitor need to complete
a survey. You can create some nice gateway stuff with CPALead.

You get paid between 0.50 - 1.50 most of the time. I can already see
you making good dollars if you really have that many visitors to your
site.


Another option is AdSense. But I would definately consider to use
CPALead.

First thing i'd do is check your links. If you're 100% sure that they're all working and that 500 visitors is hitting your affiliate page. With a gravity of 174 it obviously converts. It may just be your keyword.

For example if your keyword is something like 'blah blah tips', then they're looking for tips and unlikely to buy anything. Ask yourself, 'if I typed this word into the search engine would I be prepared to buy something or not?'

The original idea of the squeeze page was to test traffic, and that's probably your best first step. If you are really getting 10K visitors a day, and it's not from PPV of other low quality traffic source, stick a nice squeeze page up there and see if anybody opts-in. If they do, it's the offer, if they don't, the traffic is questionable.

Also stick ClickTale.com up there (get a free account) and see what people are doing when they get to your site. Are they abandoning right away, are they clicking on links, are there any patterns you can see in how the "use" your page?

Rule of thumb, follow the traffic back upstream and find out where it falls apart....

Not buying? Look at your landing page.
Not clicking through to money pages? Try for an opt-in.
Not opting in? Look at your referrers and traffic sources.
Targeted traffic? Reframe your page/offer to appeal to your visitors.

Sounds like it's probably a traffic quality problem.

With 10,000 visitors and 0 sales each day, there is definitely something wrong, which is why everyone replying here seems confused and is trying to help.

Check your links for sure. If they are correct, then it has to be either that the product is bad, or your articles aren't hooking them enough to click through and buy.

With that much traffic you should definitely have some sort of freebie with an opt-in page. You want to get as many of those visitors onto some sort of mailing list so even if they don't buy, you have them to send messages about other products. Maybe they are coming to your article to read up on your niche but the product you're selling isn't exactly what they are looking for. If you have them on a list you can email them other types of products related to your niche and maybe peek their interest and make sales.

Goodluck!

If you are dominating a niche I would link to an squeeze page to capture emails and start sending some quality free stuff. Then start test several products. Try to add more value to your prospects.

The product you try to promote may be is not good enough...I 've experienced this situation and then i try to promote other product and it works..

you might try to create an optin squeeze page to try to capture their email and give them free contents that are value to them and get them coming back for more before you will sell to them

first you need to establish a relationship with your list first

Sometimes just a few small tweaks can make all the difference in the world. With that amount of traffic there has to be a way to monetize. Perhaps try testing out a few different ads, and also take a closer look at your traffic to see exactly how long visitors are spending on your site. Could just be a retention thing and if that's the case try to find ways to get surfers to stick around longer and ultimately engage in what you're selling.

Here's how to make money within a few hours from this:

SELL your site on Flippa.

An expert marketer will wet his pants over that instant traffic, as he will know how to monetize it.

Other than that, it's impossible to give you trusthworthy advice, or accurate advice, without seeing your articles, your landing page and the offer you're trying to make sales with.

More info please!

If you are really getting that much traffic and you are not even trying to build a list with it you are actually clinically insane in the membrane

Obviously without seeing your articles, it's hard to be certain - but I would think you should be aiming for around 20%+ CTR. Please don't be offended by this, but are your articles written in easy to read English? I see a lot of articles poorly written, by non native speakers that are impossible to read. No-one would get to the end to click on a link. Make sure your articles have been properly proofread for spelling and grammar.

Make sure your resource box is part of the article and that readers WANT to click to find out more. Read some of Stephen Wagenheim's stuff on article marketing.

If the product is not converting, make sure that your articles are RELEVANT to the product. Make sure that when people are clicking on the links in your article that what you are promising to tell them is EXACTLY what the product page also promises.

For example - if you've written an article about "how blue widgets will help you improve your self-confidence" - I wont be interested in being taken to a sales page where you want to SELL me blue widgets. I want to go to a page where you sell me a product that tells me "how blue widgets will help improve your confidence".

I hope that all makes sense.

Show us how to get 10,000 visitors a day and we will gladly pay you big money.

Thanks for all your suggestion guys..I think I will spill the beans here, as I have other niches where I dominate..I don't think it will be much of competition in any ways.

I have a team of 20 expert seo professionals and their job is to get the sites and articles on first page of google. We rank for many competitive terms and do get sales in many niches..Its just that this niche has not been converting at all. We hold multiple spots for a keyword so that we dominate the niche completely.

The keyword that I am talking about is "How To Get Pregnant", if you search that in google, you will find all my articles and sites in this niche..I have tried several writers and paid good to them, but somehow they have not been able to convert it at all.

Let's see what do you guys suggest now..

As far as providing the secret and selling the service here, I gave a thought once, and may be if I see a lot of interest here, can offer it for a good price to limited number of people. Anyways that would be later..for now I want to get this to work and make the most out of this niche.

Looking forward to your suggestions and help..if some of you can write something better that will sell, I am ready to pay for his/her services.

Ajeet

you may have to switch offers and making your resource box more appealing
because getting 10 THOUSAND VISITORS A DAY!!. Not making a sale with that.
Is this traffic targeted?
Try to use different resource boxes and see if the CTR improves.
Man thats alot of traffic.... i hope it is targeted.

Why don't you change tactics completely?

Give up on Clickbank, don't look for CPA offers, forget affiliate programs.....

Contact the best fertility clinics and doctors in major international cities, and offer to sell them leads. Collect names using Aweber, or another auto responder service so you can contact your leads.

The one thing which strikes me really odd about your market. Market Samurai reports over 10,000 people for the number one site per day, but only 3 people for Adwords traffic, and a fairly low price per click on Adwords. This tells me one thing....many interested people seeking general advice, and free information.

You are going to have to weed out the people just seeking general information to those who need legitimate help with infertility before you have a truly targeted customer.

Added Idea: You are attracting over 10,000 people per day to what market? EXPECTANT PARENTS!! Try to start capturing names with offers of cost savings for their upcoming baby.

Dang... Now I gave you two ideas....where do I send the invoice?

Could you tell me the way to get 10000 visits a day?
In fact, different kinds of traffic often mean different guality. Even if you can gain much traffic for your site, if all the traffic is useless or not high-quality, then it is obvious that they can't bring any sales for you.

First of all, did you make sure your affiliate account is getting the sale? Did you test the sales page. Follow your link, act like you are buying and then look at the bottom of the page for your affiliate id.

If that is there, go the the site you are linking to and read it carefully. I find some sources out there actually lure their customers to an alternative payment system such as paypal, alert pay, etc. When the customer is diverted, you won't get paid.

Also, did you encrypt your affiliate link through the Clickbank site? It may not be perfect, but it is better than nothing.

Ajeet,

Why are you redirecting instead of dropping into a landing page, squeeze page, or blog?

You could easily multiply your conversions by preselling and informing people before you sent them to the offer.

With your rankings, you should have a blog, and then contact the author of the ebook and do an interview with her and put it on YouTube, as a multiple part podcast, as a giveaway to get people to sign up for your list, as multiple posts to your blog.....

Don't you imagine the author would love to help you optimize your efforts with the rankings you currently hold? With the traffic you could potentially drive to her offer...

You need to step up your conversion game from the number of readers you are getting to those articles, you are leaving a ton of money on the table.

If you get so many clicks and nobody is buying, your offer simply doesnt match the audience ... or ... the offer just sucks. Try monetizing that traffic with another offer/type of offer like email submit/survey or even adsense.

Any questions just let me know

Nick

I just found one of ajeetroys articles. I since found quite a few. There is one article which goes to pregnancy-miracle.info which does not appear to belong to ajeetroy. This is the one that goes to the wrong affiliate link.

Sorry Ajee, I hoped that was the problem -- it would be fixable.

Her article in articlesbase are done well. Links are easily visible and author's box relates to the topic.
Her article in Buzzle.com sucks (not the content). the link is burried in fine print with the article text and the author box tells about the author being an internet marketer. Gotta change that one.

The articlebase article has received almost 50,000 views since December, but I don't see where there are 10,000 views a week.

But I am not the expert. Someone who is may reflect on this comment.

I hope you get this figured out and working.

hmm, I wonder if the number one position is ruining her chances of making a sale since it also points to the same affiliate site. She has four of the top ten, but not the first affiliate link.

The competitor is at the top and may ruin it for the others. But still, someone should actually buy in 48,000 views.

that or there are too many robots crawling the site

In your case I would send them to a landing page, as opposed to direct linking, also find a new writer. If your product has a gravity that is showing sales the issue is somewhere in what you are doing. Try testing different methods, send one of the articles to landing page, and create a few different pages also if it is a niche in which you can build a list you are killing yourself by not sending them to a squeeze page because you are getting good traffic just need to test and find out which method will convert best for your offer.

Good luck

First off, are you sure the keywords you're dominating for are "buying words" or highly targeted keywords? Also, is this CB product a good value, have you checked their conversion rate? If they are, then it's the content on your articles. You may not be pre-selling effectively.

Another thing, direct linking only works with certain products and the sales page quality.

Why are you direct linking if you are spending so much money on SEO and writers? Just curious, cause it sounds like you have quite a bit of experience with affiliate marketing.

The best way to sell a product is thru your own landing page. I'm telling you, increase your conversions ten fold!

Your own lp will not only pre-sell more effectively, but also will allow you to give them a bonus (which works wonders) and allow you to get them to sign-up for a newsletter (which will allow you to stay in contact with them with relevant offers). If you need a nice guide or FREE bonus, then just buy a PLR ebook that allows you to give away for FREE and alter it and give it to them for FREE.

Another thing about CB products is some people know that they can purchase thru their own links. But with your niche, this is probably irrelevant.

IMHO

I hope this helps!

Ok, it looks like you made some changes, but now I am getting redirected out the wazoo. The link goes to a fitness site where the entire screen is initially filled with google ads. Then if I scroll down, i see the testamonials and information. Finally, at the bottom I see the proper link.

In one of the articles, it seems that when my mouse passes over certain terms, I get redirected to someone else's article about getting pregnant and then to their affiliate link to the site. Very frustrating. I didn't have time to read the article and had to go to another ezine to read it.

Articlesbase dumps to a file not found error. Buzzle appears to be working quite well.
Articlesbase is the one that threw me to the competition until I guess I wore it out and it leaves me alone now. (No, it isn't a windows bug, i am on linux.)

A few people have already wisely pointed out the cold hard truth...

You are not giving the market what they want...at least, not for that keyword.

It seems there IS a market for women with fertility problems, but I think the keyword is a dud.

It's too broad for a start. Secondly, there's only a couple of ads running for that keyword in Google...that would be great if they were selling eBooks, but they are not.

I suggest you take a look at the landscape before laying the seeds :-)

It sucks, but I think you need to do what others say, and find the right keywords that OTHER eBook marketers are using to successfully sell.

The simple truth is, you are not matching your product to your audience. Granted, you may be great at this SEO game, but you're wasting your precious time if you don't grasp this basic marketing principle.

I hope you take this constructively, as it is meant.

Regards,

Nick
