When to scrap a Publisher
Long time lurker, and just recently started posting...
I'm pretty fresh to IM, and currently have 1 site (WP blog) which is in a fairly competitive niche. I've been working on content creation and promotion of my blog, and have seen steady increases in traffic over the past 3 months, so this is good.
Now for the bad - on my blog I'm promoting 2 products from Clickbank (both in the same niche, one is a micro-niche so they're not necessarily competitive). I've had probably 200 to 300 targeted clicks to each product over the last 2 months, but have had absolutely 0 sales. They both have fairly high gravity on CB, so I'm not sure where the disconnect might be.
I currently have a "Recommendations" page, with the products listed, along with an image and a brief description of each. I kept it short and simple and figured I'd let the publisher do the sales talk.
About 75% of my traffic comes from Google from various long-tail keywords, so I feel my traffic is fairly targeted. Other sources of traffic are Social sites which I've submitted links.
Is it time for me to scrap these products and start promoting other products within the niche? Should I try to create more copy to pre-sell the product before sending the user to the publisher's sale page? I'm still pretty fresh to all this, but from what I've seen on my forum lurking, 200-300 clicks with no sales = no good...
Any advice is appreciated, and if you'd like to see the site, please PM.
Thanks everyone!
