What Am I Doing Wrong?

I'm not expert and a newbie myself, but I think you're doing what I did and still do but am trying to get it right. You need to presell your product instead of just putting in a link. I do the same thing and have a bunch of posts on blogs that won't do anything either. Going to fix em or get rid of em.

Another thing I see is that you have two opposite ends of the spectrum there 1 The body builders and 2 Weight loss. These are two totally different niches on the same blog. I would have it either one or the other. I do a lot of weight training myself and I know what they look for and their mindset. If they get there and see weight loss stuff and they want to gain which is what body builders do, then they are out of there and same with the ones who want to lose weight and see stuff about gaining they are out of there too.

Just my 2 cents hope this helps and you don't get offended.

You can put some Adsense in.

What keywords are people using to find your site? What is the major source of your traffic?

I think you'll find that your traffic isn't targeted around buying keywords.

Hey Max, I'm gunna tell you these things because I want you to make some money and you're not going to with that blog. Here are some problems, none of which would be hard to correct. I'm not being a smart ass, I just want to get you cranking some cash--okay buddy?

The site concept is way too confusing. The visitor has to jump through too many hoops to buy a product. Here is what should happen on a pre-sell page.

1. You hype the product you are promoting, but do it quick. You then have links on your home page directly to the publisher/manufacturer's sales page.

2. Someone clicks on one of those links and goes to the publisher's pitch page. If they like the pitch they click on the order button and go to the order page.

That's it--it has to be that simple.

Now look at your home page. There are no links there going DIRECTLY to the publisher's pitch page.

1. A potential visitor has to find your blog.
2. They have to see the "Product Review" link at the top.
3. They have to click on that link.
4. They go to your mini-review page.
5. They have to click on a link there to go the the full review page.
6. They have to click on your link there to go to the publisher's page.
7. They have to click on a link there to order.
8. When you click on his order button you are taken to a second sales page. When you click on the order button there you go to a page where you have to give all kinds of info just to get to the real order page.

In short, no one, and I mean no one is going to do all of that stuff to get his product. The last page I got to said this was a Clickbank product, but I've never seen a Clickbank product with all of that nonsense on it. People just won't do all of that stuff to place an order--trust me.

Aside from that, the publisher's pitch pages have leakers all over. There are links to FAQs, to About Me, disclaimers, tons of other things. Those things drain away people from the main thing--ordering.

My first suggestion would be to choose a different Clickbank product to promote--really!

Your home page has tons of useful info on it, but like I said, it isn't pre-selling the products you promote. You're trying to teach people on your home page and you need to be pre-selling them.

Now, listen to me Max. It probably sounds like I'm giving you a butt chewing--not at all! If I didn't care, I wouldn't take the time to reply. I do care about you and what you are doing and I want you to make some money!

Wow I am amazed with all the good info that all of you guys have given me. They all are very good points and I will def work ok them tomorrow.

I do have one question though. Why should I change my product? Is it too hard to find a buy button or what?

Once again, thanks everyone for your helpful replies

Haha I appreciate your words of wisdom. I will get on this pronto.
