I'm getting Stumbled! Need help.

It's just a trickle, but it started to show up in the logs within the last hour.

The site was my second attempt at an affiliate landing page and it shows.
Uncloaked hoplink and all.

binauralsecrets dot com

I ran an adwords campaign over the last week, dropped 100 bucks for a couple of hundred clicks and no conversions.

Turned off the adwords two days ago.

I had been toying with the idea of providing a product instead of a referral, and actually have something I could drop in right now.
How hard is it to set up a paypal sales process?

Any ideas as to how I could monetise, or otherwise take advantage of incoming StumbleUpon traffic?

Suggestions much appreciated.

Ben.

    Don't get too excited about Stumble traffic: it does not convert well.

    Otherwise, I think you need another product. Your landing page is actually better than the sales page, although your page could use a couple improvements too.

    There are a few minor errors in your copy but the main thing I would suggest is to change the title text in your link to something more dynamic. "Click here for more info" doesn't motivate. How about "Click here to start your journey to the Zen State" or something like that.

    But first I would look for another similar product. I don't think the sales page is any good.

    If you have a good product of your own then go for it. Setting up Paypal payment processing is not difficult. What's more difficult is setting up a good sales page. You'll need a lot more than what you have in your landing page.

      Without any data of my own to back it up, that has to be true.

      The traffic is running at a couple of pages per hour, but I should do something just in case.

      I am in fact thinking of removing the affiliate link altogether and not selling anything. My product is not tested, the checkout process would be rushed into prod and I'm not feeling that the conversion potential is there to make the stress worthwhile.

      If I could spin up a couple of quality paragraphs to flesh out the content a bit, maybe the site could establish some credibility in the niche.
      Get some eyeballs, build some links, improve serp and convert to AdSense.

      Or, sit back and enjoy the novelty of a fat server log file.

      I agree with this, and moreover, it tends to spike occasionally and then nothing for a while.
