    Hi all,

    I'm owner of the site: asp.net resource directory, I've added some general advertise offers.

    The daily traffic is 350-450 unique visitors per day, The truth is that very very few people want to advertise on my site. So, I'm trying to analyze the reason: too high prices, ugly site, poor traffic or bad marketing ?

    I'll be very thankful to hear your opinion! Thanks in advance!

    Best Regards,
    Tihomir Ivanov

    I think it's the layout I just spend a few seconds on oyur site but i didn't like the table thing right in the middle and it's not centered properly and the placement of the ads might be not that good

    I would try promoting your website for ad sales in ASP.NET programming forums (in Digitalpoint, Sitepoint, etc.).

    I'd say it was traffic.
    350-450 visitors a day isn't very many, factor into that the small percenatge that ever click on an ad - then the percentage of those that ever convert..

    You don't have a strong domain, PR and traffic yet. Also your niche is not very commercial. Try affiliate marketing. Maybe some ASP.NET learning guides, books and videos. You may also cooperate with job finding websites, to display feeds from their ASP.NET Programmers categories, for a fair compensation of course.

    Frankly speaking,you have used the free template when you buy the script.
    You should have a proper and attractive template to attract more visitor to post at your site.
    And i did notice that your price is too high that will keep advertiser away.
    I suggest you to change the price to lower amount.
