    Im about to start using "Learn more" instead of "click here" to try to increase more hops and buyers.

    Btw look at my latest post and see if I did good you all. Thanks!

    Using "Learn more" or "Click here" or "Get started" is a very poor way to link to your pages. Google uses the link text of a hyperlink as a STRONG hint as to what the page is about. For this reason the text used to link to your page has a big influence on what keywords your page will rank for. You want to link to your pages with the keyword phrases from the <title> element of the target page (or a slight variation of those keywords).

    It's usually very simple to change contextual links like these so that they use good link text and work in your favor to help your page rank for the targeted keywords...

    For example, if you make a post about the best type of mouse trap, your post's <title> element might be "Best Mouse Trap" or "Mouse Trap - Best Mouse Trap - Better Mouse Trap". When you link to the post, it doesn't do you much good to do so using something like:

    To find out about the best type of mouse trap <a href="URLofBestMouseTrapPost">click here</a>

    This tells Google your post is about "click here". Instead, link to it using something like:

    Find out more about the <a href="URLofBestMouseTrapPost">best mouse trap</a> ever!

    This tells Google your post is about "best mouse trap". If you link to the post from several places then vary the link text. Link to it sometimes with "mouse trap", sometimes w/ "best mouse trap", sometimes with "better mouse trap"... and then occasionally you may even want to work the plural versions "mice" and "traps" into the link text with keyword phrases like "trap mice" or "traps for a mouse"... But most of the time use the keywords being targeted by the post.

    What type of website's convert best? I can deal with a website that is stationary or what not.

    Actually my questions should be, what type of websites do super affiliates usually own?

    First: Upgrade your hosting. If you're doing it yourself, stop. It's not working for you.
    Second: You need to push more traffic to your site. AdWords are great, but not the end all, be all. I would recommend finding someone who can bring you Geo-specific traffic and go from there.
    Third: DO NOT PUT ALL OF YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET. It won't work and if it happens to magically work, it won't last long. Move forward, keep testing and try new offers.
