    What is the source of traffic?
    I think what you need is targeted traffic. Go for some keyword research and try picking some good targeted keyword. Then start your SEO campaign and try to rank your website for the keywords.

    Definitely get your own domain. Weebly subdomain doesn't look good. Site design could be a bit better, and it's a bit hard to read (too wide). Random font changes look unprofessional.

    However, I think it's the copy that doesn't really convert. I'd try to tell a story to the visitor to build up the interest. Maybe even leave the explanation ("the answer is: numerology!") completely out of it and just link to the product.

    Take a look at the product you're linking to. They're using a video, but their story and hook are much better.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

      The type is too small and the lines are way too long. There's a reason newspapers and magazines use columns a couple inches wide. I couldn't (meaning, have no desire to) read more than a couple lines before I clicked away.

      lines that run the full length of my monitor are too long

    Hi,

    You need to do more SEO campaign then just posting your links on social media accounts.

    Like the previous comments here have said, you need to promote and market your target keywords. I suggest part of your SEO campaign is to prioritize content marketing.

    This strategy works well for me. I did guest posting, share my content to related, high PR sites, then share them to social media sites and also participate in related forums.

    Also, never spam. Just reach out to your audience like you know that you can really help them. That is a good way to really convert your traffic to sales.

    Good luck!

    That OP site is horrible.

    If that's your idea of trying, IM isn't for you.

        Seriously, you need to research sales pages from authority sites.

            Here are some of the issues I see.

            1. Weebly sub domain = visitors are much more likely to trust you if you have your own domain

            2. Uncloaked affiliate links = This isn't the internet of 2006. Cloak your links it looks better

            3. No Title tags on the merchants page. This looks like crap, but since you can't control this yourself your best bet is to e-mail the merchant and let him know. Would you purchase from amazon.com if you'd never heard of them before and their Title tags was just one big long URL?

            4. Poor use of web site real estate. While you do have 2 links above the fold, look at that big blank space to the right. You could be using the real estate on your page much more effectively to funnel the traffic. The less work your visitor has to do the better it is for you.

            5. Your site looks like someone just puked up text on the page with no formatting. No images, no bolds, no underlines, all the text just seems to blend into the background nothing jumps out at you except your video. I instantly close web pages I visit that play videos on load without permission. Some people might debate whether this is a good idea. I generally vote against it.

            6. Possibly a poor converting niche/wrong target audience. I don't know anything about this niche, but did you research to make sure this product converts well? Are you sure that they are clicking your link via social media for the reasons you intend? Are you targeting people who are interested in this?

                Well, yes. The most successful ones probably have a email list or some other form of collecting subscribers/followers who are generally interested in whatever they're selling. Or they have a good way to push converting traffic to their site. Yes, the site is amateurish and you should seek to improve it, but if you only have handful of random visitors you can't really expect profits. That's the name of the game here.

                The stuff RedShifted posted above is crap-my-pants scary to me, but I guess that's another way to get traffic.

      This, ladies and gents, is called honesty.

      Honesty is a beautiful thing. Keep going, keep asking, keep learning!

        To the OP. The site is honestly not bad for your first try. It really isn't. You just need to fix the design, formatting and make the copy more compelling. I'd add more pages to the site just to make it look more credible. And I'd spend more time on the home page centering things and making it more appealing to traffic.

        Other than that, you only have 14 backlinks. If your goal is to get organic traffic you need to rank that site. And since its a weebly site I'd spam it to hell with GSA till it hit page 1. I'd send a few thousand links a day for 4-8 weeks and track your keywords. If you rank the site and start getting traffic, then you can further optimize it for conversions. Newbies highly underestimate the power of a good blackhat setup. Because they are scared to death about penalties. But GSA + youtube, facebook, tumbler, pinterest, wordpress, blogger, all those authority sites you can spam and make good money off. Do you have any software? Get a dedicated server, put GSA on it with Captcha Breaker, pick out 30 awesome keywords, go to town and bust your ass, thats how pros make money.
