I have launched a new site

howaboutablog.com

which sells autoblogs...

I targetted a 1 day campaign with adbrite, and got 100 clicks, but not even one conversion or contact us message or live chat message.

Am i doing something wrong? or?

Marketing suggestions for my site would be greatly appreciated

  I suggest you just make one and track it and see if there are any conversions. It's very deadly in this industry to make assumptions, always test and keep track of results. See what works, see what doesn't.

Promote it on sites like Twitter or Facebook. You can also apply SEO on it.

Hi,

You may be targeting the wrong audience. Try different ad networks and see what works. Also it's a lot more effective if you guide your potential customers to a sales page that clearly defines the benefit they get for the price they will pay and even if they don't buy offer them something for free (how to build a niche site in a day) and just get their mail and name so you still keep in touch with them.

Hope this helps.

Looks good site loads a little slow, The prices are a little high, but you could just include the xrummer blast with all of your sites and then they would sell for that price.

Few suggestions...

As mentioned...no sales page. There is a "what you get" page but even that has a few holes that come to mind pretty quickly:

1. Which "Premium Plugin" is used to generate content? I assume it's WP Robot by the looks of the examples but you should tell people what they are getting.
2. Spelling errors throughout the site...this turns people off.
3. Incorrect grammar...once again, turns people off and in some cases it appears that it was written by someone whose first language is not English. Experienced marketers may not care about this but newbies will typically notice this.

The autoblogs you have listed for sale have some noticeable issues that may be turning people off as well:

1. “Part 1: How to Build PHP and MySQL CMS Website Software”

What does this have to do with a detox website?

This probably got posted to the site due to using WP Robot (I’m guessing of course). However, if that is the case and the other blogs you are trying to sell have these same types of unrelated posts and buyers are paying attention then that is a turn off as well. No one wants unrelated posts on their blogs.

2. I only skimmed a few of the articles posted on the detox site but none of them had links back to the original authors. There was no mention of “unique” content being added to the sites on the “what you get” page so I assume these articles were auto posted. If so, most everyone who would be buying an autoblog would know that’s a big “no no”.

3. You are offering 100 PLR articles as a bonus. This would be great if the PLR matched the theme/concept of the individual blogs you were selling. As it stands now you are offering the PLR in “stress relief”. If you were selling a stress relief or self help or personal improvement blog then that might go well but from what I can see all purchases get those and I didn’t see any related blogs for sale.

4. Monetization – all of the blogs/examples I checked were below the fold. Bad placement IMO and others will probably notice this as well.

5. The domains aren’t exact match and the search volumes for the main keyword within the domains are low. The highest of those listed on your site under the “Live Autoblgos” tab gets 58 local monthly searches and some don’t get any. This is not the best example to be showing perspective customers.

Price - $117 with a 10% discount is pretty steep considering all of the above factors. There are more than a few Warriors here that sell “ready made” autoblogs for less than $100 and they don’t have most of the issues mentioned above.

I think you have a decent idea here but you will have to improve the overall quality of the offer and the autoblogs to start making sales.

  Actually that's not even close to being an accurate statement but thats a pretty typical post from an "auto hater".
