    Hi my site is mariohost.com and receive around 300 uniques a day and growing slowly, my problem is i used cj to promote affiliate programs on the side as the user blogs away and reads away. But it seems that i aint making any sales. Can any one point me to the right direction please.

    Try integrating ads and text links directly into posts that deal with that subjects. Random ads on the side of the page won't convert anyone.

    Just visited your website,good outlet but about CJ ads why dont you use acloaker.com/ for your CJ link because returning customer will not learn your CJ affiliate link,he/she will directly type main website address in address bar.I have used it in my blog u can find it here at http://shreeonlinejobs.com in right column.

    I think it's hard to earn from CJ.
    I use both CJ and Chitika. I am planning to remove CJ's stuff.
    CJ is zero after one month, but Chitika is pretty stable.
    I think you may give Chitika a try.

    Nothing wrong with CJ. People make thousands from them. Normally the people who blame CJ or Clickbank or whatever, are those that don't have an idea of how to market. I'm not directing this at you greekstyle..Just a general observation/comment.

    I visited your sites' homepage and really had no idea of what it was about. First thing I saw was: "Seo And Advertising: How Much To Charge For Wikipedia?" for the title, followed by one sentence. Then another title "Is It Legal To Sell Web Hosting Services To Iran?" followed by one sentence. This goes on and on down the page. Confused the heck outta me:)

    Then I saw your ads on the right about web hosting and the nerds and thought maybe this site is supposed to be about web hosting?

    You might want to add more content on your homepage. At least write a few interesting sentences under each topic that would make me want to read one of the posts. As it stands now, I would hit the back button pretty quick after landing on your homepage.

    Hope this helps!!

    "Random ads on the side of the page won't convert anyone" --- let me at least tell you that this much is true. Ive got a site with close to 1000 unique visitors a day, but am only converting little in the way of CJ sales .... I KNOW that something has to change, cause Ive got the volumen but not the sales...

    Where is that traffic coming from?
    It does not matter if you get 1000, a million or a billion visitors a day. If you don't have what they are looking for, you make $0. Makes sense if you think about it.

    If I am searching for a baseball and end up on your page selling beach balls, chances are I'm not going to buy from you.

    So, you need to start getting "targeted" traffic to your pages. Don't know what you are selling but you can start by just doing the basic SEO for EACH page, keywords, Title, Description, H1 tags etc.
    Next will require you to get some back links.

    Good luck!!
