    Hello Folks,

    I run an e-commerce store selling a unique mobile accessory which is manufactured in our own facility and sold under our own brand name. Basically its a scratch protection product for mobile phones. I have around 7-8 competitors worldwide. My products are shipped worldwide and has customers worldwide.

    Here are my current stats :

    Google PR : 2
    Daily Unique Visitors : 120-130
    Age of Domain : 1.5 years

    I don't have any offline marketing initiative nor am I planning any in future. 100% of my sales are online and will stay so. My major source of traffic has been Google and forums. My aim is to increase the number of unique visitors to my site to atleast 500/day in the next 2-3 months.

    What marketing strategy/roadmap should I employ and how to go about implementing each marketing or link building strategy? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Thnx

    Try PPC advertising. Also viral exposure is a must.

    I would also suggest PPC....people always assume Google is the best for this, but you should also explore Bing and Facebook as well in order to diversify your target audience.

    If you have extra money to actually promote your site then you might wanna go to Adwords, Adbrite, Admob, MobGold or the like.
    However it's good practice as well to make your site to be SEO friendly.
