Help, this one question I can't seem to figure out the answer
I've been a member on WF for a long long time. I just read and learn and sift through more and more posts.
So here is my problem or the question that has plagued me for years. I have a bunch of sites and domains. Most of them bring in very little money, some with adsense, some are affiliate sites, and then there are ones that sell my own product/service. I can rank fine on page 1 of google for the search terms I have been targeting, however there's not enough people searching those terms to make it profitable.
So here is my first example. I am an artist by trade, I paint ceiling murals of the night sky and my site Starscapes® Ceiling Murals by Maryland Artist ranks fine for the term "ceiling murals" or "starscapes" or whatever combination that relates to stars on ceiling or star painting, etc. I think I follow most of the SEO rules for my site and pages but the problem is that there's not a lot of people who are searching specifically for those keywords in my local area. But those keywords are what I offer, what my product and services are.
For awhile, I was building subpages within my domain that relate to other areas like stress relieving or kids rooms or relaxation or even tray ceilings hoping that maybe people who are searching for those things may discover my site. But I noticed in my stats that those pages never really get found, at least not by organic means. I link them within the site and some people may wander there as they are clicking through. I am wondering if maybe having them on the same domain is not really feeding visitors to my site like I had hoped. But I'm not sure if creating a bunch of different sites that target other related keywords like Home Theatre ideas or kids room decor ideas would be a better solution.
I've run ads on Craig's List, had print advertisement made, went out and canvassed neighborhoods with flyers, I've even created a link exchange page on my site hoping people would find me that aren't specifically looking for ceiling murals.
I know there are a lot of ace marketers on this forum, please give me some suggestions on how to get more exposure and get my site in front of the people who may appreciate my art and want to buy my murals. I am feeling so lost, like I'm spinning my wheels with the marketing. My product is good, my service is good, I've been at it for over 7 years, I think people just don't know what I do exists. HELP!
And it's the same question I have with one of my affiliate sites promoting this product I love and have been using since 2007: My In Depth Tooth Soap Review . I can rank fine on the first page of google for my main keywords "tooth soap" or "tooth soap review" but the only people who find my site are those searching for those two keywords and there's not that many who are searching daily for them. I make a little money with that site but I feel that somehow it could be a lot better by introducing the product to people with related teeth problems that hasn't heard about tooth soap. But how do I get it in front of those people? Do I build separate sites? Do I just blog about separate topics and hope people will find it?
I have some experience with building sites and applying SEO and doing wordpress but my problem I think is choosing the right keywords, the ones from people searching that are eager to buy or at least be looking to buy a related product to their search. I feel like I'm sitting on a goldmine but I can't dig up the gold. Do I not have the right tools? Maybe I don't dig hard enough or long enough or fast enough or maybe I need to shift over 3 feet. It's very frustrating, I feel lost. Please someone give me some guidance, I would very much appreciate it.
Oh, I own both market samurai and micro niche finder so I've been using them to search for keywords and competition, etc. I just feel like I'm missing something that perhaps is right in front of my face and I can't see it.
Thanks for reading, I warned that it would be long...
