    Well I'd suggest that you continue what you are doing right now. Sometimes the sales/taffic may drop (holiday season is coming) and sometimes it may rise abruptly :) its better to be patient and see how the money rolls.

    The keep to posting content is being consistent. You have a nice blog in a very competitive market. I would keep posting content and creating videos linking back to your website. I would also write some article and post too directories. Look at your keep word that you want too rank for and see what come up on the first page. Then see what they doing and how many links that they have.

    There are various reasons behind the drop traffic (and this is the likely culprit for the drop in conversions since you are getting less people on the site now). What was your current ranking in the SERPs before and now? How much traffic did you lose and when did it start to decline (Google released an EMD and Panda algo that could have affected your site)? You need to look at your site's stats so you can get an idea of when everything started to decline.

    You might also want to check your keywords: how are you ranking for them, do they still have the same global monthly searches or are they no longer trending? Also look at your competitors and see how they are doing. That might give you a clue as to how you can improve your site.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    my SERPS are actually now more or less the same, but my somewhat random searches to my site are now mostly gone, and these 'random searches' used to contribute to my mailing list and affiliate product buyers.

    I used to get above 750-850 visitors daily, but now it dropped to 250 - 300 daily :/

    Ditto to the suggestions above. I would also consider a site redesign, as you blog kinda looks a little cheap. Your credibility factor also goes waaaay down when you say you've trained Jessica Alba, and then have a site that isn't the sleekest in the world.

    Also, how about some social proof? Show your visitors pictures of you and your celebrity clients! :)

    You say it's making money. Great! If you can farm out the traffic creation and still make money to free up your time, why not simply build a few more sites in other niches or sub-niches. Build on your experience.

    You've choose a very difficult niche. All I can say is good luck because I think your site was penalized by Google for over using targeted keywords and having not so unique content.

    I had a quick look at your blog and noticed the following:1- home page is ranked 1 , and most of your otther pages are either 0 or not ranked .2- The structure of the blog is not good enough .3- No good internal links within the pages and tawords the home page .4- No quality comments under the posts .Google loves deep sites with lots of high quality articles and good strucure , it is important to have links from high PR websites with relevant interest to your blog topic .

    I find it funny how you claim you make thousands a day in forex trading on one of your sites. Ahh the scams.

    yup I know it's a difficult niche, in fact, I intend it to be a long term business, so I will target small product reviews keywords which are easier to rank for(which I do rank for one or two products i particularly like).

    and I also have a main goal of being a mega authority site with hard work over months. and my content on my blog is all written by myself, not spun....

    No offense just the facts, but you're not gonna turn into any sort of mega authority without getting yourself ripped in the first place. Not only that but you sorely need to work on your accent and pronunciation if you plan on becoming an authority in the American market at least. If you're shooting for the East Asian market, that's a different story, but you will still need to actually exercise and get defined muscles.

    This guy http://www.youtube.com/user/sixpackshortcuts and his website http://sixpackshortcuts.com/ is a mega authority, but he's actually ripped.

    Hey, thanks vdek for the part on the accent and pronunciation. I will work harder on that.

    and my goal for my target visitors is not to look like a balloonly buff guy.

    That may be the goal of many fitness buffs who just want to BE big, but that's certainly not what I am trying to help my visitors achieve.

    I recognize that at least 90% of the women out there will very much take a Zac Efron, Taylor Lautner, A&F model lookalike rather than Mike Chang (the six pack short cuts guy). And that is exactly what I am trying to help my male visitors achieve.

    As for female visitors to my blog, I don't know about you, but I am super confident that 90% of the male population would very much rather go out with a fit but still slim and svelte girl like Taylor Swift or a MAXIMUM of Jessica Biel. In fact most guys prefer Taylor Swift and Jessica Alba's body. If they wish to get BIG butts and super buffed up bodies like some of those p*rn stars, sorry, that is not my target audience, and I have no desire to help them out.

    I am also working on my fitness currently, and I know there will be many steroidal bodybuilderish guys saying A&F guys are SMALL AS PRICKS but seriously. Majority of the women want a guy who looks like Brad Pitt or Chris Evans, probably only less than 10% of women worldwide prefer guys who look like Mike Chang. And he's in great shape, and gets the ladies I am sure, but ALL my friends and MYSELF included do NOT like the body type of the fitness girls he associates with.
