After 87 clicks and 3 months, 3 orders were made to my site

17 replies
I had this Amazon affiliate site set up 3 months ago (and it is ugly as hell ), and finally somebody ordered stuff thru my site, which as of today has an average of about 30 visits a day.

I know it's still early to tell, but at least I'm getting somewhere.

Patience really do have some rewards after all.

    That's a conversion of 1/29, not bad!

    Now you just need to ramp up the amount of traffic and tweak on page factors to aid conversions.

    Its a start and it sounds like you're heading in the right direction.

      I'm not sure what your visitor to click ratio was but to get 3 sales from 87 clicks is certainly nothing to sniff at.

      Well done.

      Way to go!
      Just think how much you can make once you get more traffic!

      Seriously, work on the traffic angle with this site now and resist the tempation to jump to the next new thing until this site is coughing up lots of sales.

      Congrats!

      Congratulations that is a very nice conversion rate indeed - now all you need is more traffic. How are you ranking in google? are there other keywords to target which could get you more visitors.

      The lovely thing about internet marketing is "rinse and repeat" once something works, just keep doing more of it. more traffic = more sales

      A press release could definitely help. I've read ebooks about press releases being a good source of traffic but I haven't try it, but I think it's worth a try.

      As of now my site is on page 1, targeting long-tailed keywords with an exact match domain. Submitting my url to Google prove to be effective too.

      It might be worth it for you to spend 2-3 hours and to try to improve the look of your site.

      Good luck.
      Hmm..some of my friends visiting the site consider it simple and clean. I call it ugly.

      But I'll take your word for that regarding the improvement part.

      Can't argue with that Vogin.

      I agree, I had to wait for nearly a month to start seeing income flowing to my Amazon account. During the time, I had worked my @$$ off on the site, to get it ranked high in SE's.

      Good for you sir. Actually I wasn't serious about this site because of the long time it took to see results, but I did my homework to some extent and it did make a difference.

      Well ma'am I suppose to delve more on the War room for any backlinking tools and strategies to better the traffic of my site.

      I'm a bit scared to spend as of now on Adwords because of money restraints but I know it is one of the faster ways on targeting potential buyers to my site. Maybe if things go for the better I would go with that option.

    30 visitors/day is not bad...

    3 Order from 87 Click it means 3% conversion. That's better than most clickbank conversion!!!
