    Amit you need to work on your layout...

    It looks like you are blogging about the topic - since you have created a landing page - so landing page should have some graphics and targeted content - some more buy now buttons - since you have only given one link for buy - it doesn't works that good.

    Also, mask your clickbank URL so something on your site and use a forwarder to forward the user to the merchant site. It is needed!

    also on landing page there is no need for comments - you need not want visitors to read - your objective should be to redirect user to the merchant site - also i would recommend try searching how many people click your buy now link and compare that with your visits ratio... there might be a huge mis-match.

    Hope all this information helps...

      It's because he's running wordpress! Wp is a blogging platform-You need a static site. I suggest that you find a nice web Template and edit it in DreamWeaver.

    How are you getting your traffic and what keywords are people using to find your site? You need to evaluate your traffic and fine tune it. When you say your traffic is 600 a month are you saying 600 unique visitors or pag views? Also research that niche and see how much competition, also check your affiliate links to see if they work

      Infogle's comments are great.

      I will move comments from this page.

      I wouldn't put by now from here but rather a graphic button that says click here for more information. It needs to be "above the fold" which means that they should see it without having to scroll down the page. Perhaps put your button on the top of your right-hand sidebar.

      When your page, you should talk a little bit more about why the customer wants to click your button. What problem do they have that will be solved if they click it. Which solution will be offered if they click.

      Definitely take the advice above given cloak your affiliate link.

      If your numbers reflect unique visitors a little bit of tweaking on this page should result in the least some income. I would suggest you go ahead and make those changes and see what happens. If you still do not have the results you want come in and ask again.

      I am sure others will chime in with some other suggestions for you as well.

      Hope that helps.

    your latest post is pretty good, but the rest are just spam.

    come on, i just posted for some feedback about my site in another thread and i spend time really trying to provide useful content to my readers - yours is just over-optimized copy.

    kill that keyword a little - you repeat it WAY too much. add images to your posts and utilize that right column some how (social media, opt-in form)

    good luck

      The redirect links are not visible.
      It took me like 20-30 seconds to find the link to product.
      Make the links more visible.

      By the way I got a website on the same topic

    If you have not already done so, activate Akismet Stats plugin to guard against spammy posts. Also delete all the spam comments.

    Improve the site layout as suggested, contact the vendor to get permission to incorporate some of his graphics onto your site. 9 out of 10 times they will give you the permission as you are promoting their product.

    Visit youtube.com, chances is that you will find the vendor's video there and embed it onto your site.

    On the affiliate link, you can actually bypass the vendor's sales page and goes directly to the merchant's clickbank payment page. As illustrated below to bypass my sales page; plrtrashtocash.com .... do it on others products, hopefully not on mine! Ha Ha

    My "BUY NOW" clickbank payment link => http://9.j7284050.pay.clickbank.net/ <= this is no an affiliate link

    ProductNumber => 9
    MERCHANTID => j7284050

    You will need to change above to the format below;

    http://clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YOURID...er/ProductName

    Get the ProductName (below item) from the merchant's clickbank payment page

    for this example ProductName => PLR trash to cash - User Rights
    Replace clickbank YOURID onto YOURID below

    The resultant link as below

    http://clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YOURID_j7284050/9/PLR trash to cash - User Rights

    Give it a try
    Best wishes and good luck

    Use a capcha wordpress plugin to get rid of your spam comments on your posts and have your traffic go to a landing page to qualify your traffic and also so that you can tell who is a real person and who is not.

      I'd like to comment on two points:

      A. Comments

      With Akismet now turning into a paid product, I would simply turn comments off completely. It's a sales page after all, so there's no need for it.

      If you want comments on a later page, you can add a second WP installation on another page, i.e., "blog" and leave comments turned on (along with Akismet)

      B. Your Clickbank Link:

      You should absolutely mask it. There are two effective ways to do that.
      Either by using software, or by buying another domain name, maybe a .info name, and
      creating a masked redirect from Godaddy (or wherever you get your domainnames).

      There are simpler redirect options, i.e. php redirects, but they will still leave your affiliate link in place in the adress bar (top of screen) and not hide the fact that it's a clickbank product.

      So people are still able to get their own link etc. I'd go with the extra domain name!

      Hope this is helpful.

    One of my blogs are exactly like that. About 7,000 spam comments. That is because your blog is auto-approve. Probably none of the traffic you get are real humans, just scrapebox bots.

    Or you may be targeting some low conversion keywords.

    Look at your second post. It's not formatted. It's a huge block of text that no one will bother reading because it's too hard to read. Try putting a little more effort into this other than copying and pasting a bunch of articles overloaded with keywords and you might start seeing results. Good luck.

    Haha! I have personally searched for that topic on Google MANY times. I think the main problem here in my opinion, is you really aren't offering what people are really looking for, and I don't believe there's a way to without breaking some sort of laws. Unless maybe you did a free-to-air website?

    There's alot of competition in that area, isnt there?

    Try adding some text links to sales page in the first post(top one) and check whether conversion rate goes up.
