Depression has settled in, please pass advice

Hello
My site now two months old was getting 30 uniques a day from places all over the world according to servage hosting. I thought i was making progress having countless articles and nearly a hundred inbound links coming in.

Anyway, installed google analytics and i'm very hurt, it has almost destroyed my will.

Servage tells me i got 30 uniques yesterday, google tells me i got 45 visits, 2 unique and one was me 45 times.

I feel very reluctant now, all i have done and no return from cyberworld. Four hours a day on content, linking, article marketing etc, SEO.

Need some immediate guidance, have no money, just time.

I don't know what to do, has anyone else felt like this.

 

Stats could vary depending on what parameters they use to count visitors. I would count more on Google.

To boost up yourself, do some social submissions.

 

Internet marketing is a game of scratching your losses. I don't know how long you've been in the game, but it sounds like you've put quite a bit of work into this website. How long have you had it going? Would you mind sharing the URL (if not I understand)?

 

You have to be patient, it takes a long time to get anything substantial these days, the internet is simply to big to do it overnight.

 

The url is in my signature, maybe i need to utilise more resources, have lots of content and am still working on it everyday.

Have 30 plus articles in e zine and have started building in article dashboard and now go articles.

I have the time, maybe it is having patience.

 

Just a recommendation, I would consider taking out that video game future soldier you have on the right. I personally think its funny since your doing "covert" casino training. But anyone who was seriously looking to pay for your product, would be turned off by that. At least in my opinion.

 

What is wrong with the soldier, covert training is operational in a military like fashion.

 

Well no I like that part of it, its just because it is an animated video game character. It will probably make people who enjoy games, like myself, laugh because its creative, but for professionals (especially when it comes to gambling) are going to take your service less seriously when they see that. You can still get the covert point across, I just wouldn't use a video game character. This is just my humble opinion. You should ask others what they think as well before you change anything.

 

Thanks for you input, but you get the idea yes, i don't see many other casino sites doing that, they are just banner farms and link ponds, i am trying to actually give strategy consortiums a meaning, there its lots of info here for the people when they arrive.

Thank you for your inputs

 

Hey, I went to your website and to be quite honest i'm now more confused than when I first went there. Your front page doesn't tell me what you are selling / offering. I am gathering that it is related to making money in a casino and strategies, but it doesn't convey that right out the gate. I would seriously work on your presentation directly on the front page. They say people must know within 7 seconds from the time they input your URL to determine what the website is about. There are no images, there is no standing-out text that tells me what your website is or does.

You need both a graphical representation and clear visible text that conveys that. I think that would be a big start. Right now I can't imagine Google really knowing what your website is about at this point and it may help with getting more organic traffic if you do this.

 

I personally like the design of your site. It looks pretty good. But, what is it that your trying to get people to do when they visit. There is no "call to action" on the front page. If someone clicks your link and they get there, they really dont know what to do next...so they are just going to click the back button and start over.

 

Thank you gvannorman, finally someone he see's the design through its blue print. Ok i'm starting to realise that something is missing now, perhaps because i know what it's doing, i assume that others know what is going on too. I am basically offering numeric strategies for those wishing to inolve themselves in a casino hobby online, only that by playing with discipline, they can slowly advance their credits. Any suggestions how i can flag this more on the front page then.

Thanks a lot mate.

 

Hello,

I just visited your website.

If your looking to get traffic and sales I think you need to add some content to your home page. It's basically just a few banner ads with links to join. The review links didn't work so even if I was interested I wouldn't be able to read a review.

What I recommend doing is adding content that explains stuff about your site. Then I would even have a mini review of each place your advertise right on your home page with a link to the full review. This way your home page has content which will help with SEO, and will let people know what your site does, because if I was looking to join a casino online I'd see your page and click away asap simply because it was just banners and nothing else on the home page.

I'm not trying to put you down just want to tell you what I feel will help you see better results.

 

Know it's good, thank you, i will begin working on things right away, this is what the world of Digital Point is for, working together and moving forward as a unit of web developers, i will take all i can get from the experts.

Thank you

 

that's a very very new site from the seach engines point of view. be ready to be in and out of search results for no reason other than that

hosting traffic stats are server log based (as opposed to javascript stats) and thus count BOTH real visitors and bots

i understand casinos is a very compettitve niche - try advertising vs relying on natural search?

 

Your web copy is painfully boring and does not engage the reader...
Even if you do attract eyeballs from SEO or PPC I doubt anyone is going to hang around.

sounds like you're doing the right thing.. submitting articles, getting backlinks. etc.
but did you do proper keyword research? if you get the keywords wrong, all the rest of the work will be in vain.
make sure your site has all the proper SEO mods too.. i.e. title and meta tags, keywords in page names, keywords in article titles etc.

Good luck and with SEO, it's more of a waiting game than anything.

Just keep building good quality links and get more content out there. My hosting always tells me I have more visitors than goog analytics because the hosting includes bots and spiders which increases the visits. Try not to get too down about visitors and perhaps you could branch out into other niches that you are interested in also.

 

You're using 'No deposit bankroll momentum casino training' as your sig anchor text - why? this has no search volume - a signature anchor text doesn't have a lot of backlink value, but it can hook a useful long-tail. That isn't a useful long-tail. What have you been using as an anchor text for the other backlinks you've got?
