  • There's no way you can sell anything without traffic. Although there are many factors that affect sales, traffic is the biggest. You have to do some SEO to start receiving traffic and the type of SEO you need is ecommerce SEO. I'm sure you'll find threads containing good information about optimising ecommerce sites if you use the search button.
  • SEO is not overnight process, it takes time. But there are some shortcuts, create videos then submit to youtube using longtail keywords, and then point a link into your site. Videos using long talil keyword and have keyword rich description is rank faster than new websites.

    But still you need to put some effort here.
  • Why would Google rank you for anything? What do you have that deserves ranking for anything?

    Why do people just expect that because they bought a domain that suddenly they deserve thousands of hits every day just because there's a page up?
  • What are you willing to invest in your business?

    SEO needs time as explained in a post before, Paid Traffic comes almost instantly.

    What kind of Traffic Methods have you tried? Only using a Facebook coupon won't guarantee you some sales.

    Here is my advice for you:

    Drive Traffic to your shop through pinterest

    Here is the step by step plan for you:
    1. Create a pinterest account on pinterest.com
    2. Add a good short biography, an image of you or your shop and verify your shop url
    3. Upgrade your private Account to a Business Account to find out what posts get the most views
    4. Create Boards with Eyecatching Names - You need at least 10 boards.
    5. I would recommend you to search some boards on pinterest which are popular and create some similar ones (the board has to be similar with your shop content)
    6. Then follow all those popular boards and repin their pins to your board (which you've created before)
    7. I would install a pinterest plugin that gives visitors the opportunity to pin your item on their board
    8. Follow Each day the minimum people pinterest allow you to do (i would open the popular board and follow their followers too)
    9. Repin each day minimum 100 popular pins in your niche
    10. Add a description with call to action "Click the link to find out more about XXXX (your product)"
    11. Create a Tumblr Blog, a Twitter Account and Facebook Account.
    12. Synchronize your twitter and Facebook account with your tumblr blog
    13. Now every tumblr post you share will be shared on your twitter and Facebook account too
    14. For your tumblr posts use the same image as you used on pinterest for this particular product
    15. Add the same description on it as you used on pinterest
    16. Post at least 50 pieces per day on tumblr
    17. Follow every day a minimum of 100 People in your niche
    18. The Same with Facebook groups
    19. Take Action!

    That should build huge traffic to your site...

    For further questions, just send me a pm and i will help you.

  • Setup many social profiles for your brand.

    Crunchbase, twitter, crowdfunding things etc.

    With a link back to your site. You need some authority and links for Google to consider you.

    Maybe it's just authority you don't have.

    Plus your site is very slow. Invest in better hosting.

    • I hope you are joking. Hostgator is EIG group. Total crap.
  • Build it and they will come hey :-)

    SEO takes a lot of effort, go do some research about aged backlinks and you might understand why no traffic and sales.

  • You website takes way too long to load. It took 60 seconds when I tested your domain.

    Here is what you need to do: Leverage browser caching

    Serve static content from a cookieless domain

    Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header

    Minimize redirects

    Specify a cache validator

    Remove query strings from static resources

    • how to do that ??

  • I just tried to click on your website and it didnt go up in 30 seconds so i closed it down. Your website is extremely slow you need to look into improving the speed of it. Its extremely important that you website loads fast.

    Also like others have mentioned it will take time for google to start puting your site on first page.

  • Your site load very slow, google will not love it. Even your visitor will leave without seeing what your products are.

    I am not sure if the problem is cause by poor coding of the cms you are using or your hosting. You need to find out the cause of this problem.

    • i think hosting because im exchange traffic and are about 35 users online , when are about 2- 3 users online site load more fast but maybe i will switch to VPS server 4gb ram
  • The load time of your site, which was EXTREMELY long, is going to have a huge negative impact on your traffic.

    I doubt many people will stick around, if any at all.

    That long load time also has a negative impact when it comes to ranking your site.

    I would highly suggest you have someone with experience in site speed optimization take a look at it and see if you can fix it.

    Your host isn't the problem.

    I have sites hosted on Hostgator that load 100 times faster (without trying) than the OP site.

    Looks like you have CSS files & javascript files loading on internal page.

    Why?

    That's horrible for loading a webpage. Transferring the site to another host is still transferring the bottleneck (crappy theme).

    Start over.

    BTW, make it a point to load javascript in the HTML footer whenever possible. Still, you need a theme that isn't bloated with junk (CSS/Javascript).
