Hello;
Can anybody take a look of my site.
6ixpackabs.com

Traffic is increasing there, but there's problem :
1. traffic are coming from search engine, but I don't know how to monetize it
2. I guess my design and items placement are terrible.

Could you guys help me to monetize this traffic.

Another thing that wonder me, why I ranked from Malaysia in Alexa.
Is there any related issue from where I do the blogging?
(I'm from Malaysia as well)

Please help...thanks

Raja Kamil

        If you are autoblogging, then that might have a lot to do with your conversions.

        If you want to rearrange your site, you could set a static page for your front page and use your optin there.

        Take the words from the top of your optin form and put them below the part where your input boxes are on your form.

        You could try asking only for the email address instead of name and email.

        You've got too much going on around your optin form.

        You don't need the recently searched list or the other posts link on the same page as your optin box.

        Use a left hand sidebar on your other pages besides your front page and make the first thing at the top of the sidebar.

        Put your admin page links in your footer instead of your top navbar.

        Some of those things might help a bit.

        Well, you got your answer there my friend... you put crap out there - you get crappy conversion.
        I think you should simply have articles written for a couple of bucks that is directly targeted toward what your prospect really want : a 6-pack.

    No offense to the OP, but the whole site is kind of a train wreck.

    Figure out what crowd you want to target. With your url, I figured you were promoting Geary's product. However, then on the site you have 'bodybuilding' info. The market Geary's product targets are not bodybuilders - two totally different markets/crowds.

    That said, dump the 'bodybuilding videos' (and holy cow you had way too many in there, IMO) as well as the 'bodybuilding store' pages.

    Geary has plenty of content you can use in his affiliate section, and I assume that's what you're using now. Use that content, and simply setup your site as a blog with his content, or as a site of XX static pages of content.

    Your calls to action also need to be much more prominent, IMO.

    Get rid of having 2 columns on the right - one column only. Get rid of the 'author', 'meta', 'bookmark', and 'recent comments'. Stick the business stuff (TOS, privacy, etc) in the footer as was said above. If you're gonna have links to other pages on there, make sure they're to other sites that have to do with the subject of this site. Do people that end up on the site looking for info on 'six pack abs' generally - at the same time - care about hemorrhoids or excessive sweating? Prolly not. (This is the same as the bodybuilder thing I mentioned above - only target one market.)

    Interesting stuff. Great replies.

    I personally would add more pictures, add a bit more PERSONALITY to it.. if you must keep autoblogging, create an image of whatever you want to sell and place it to the right on the top for readers to see when they come on the site.
