OK, I am new here. Seems like this will turn out to be a nice forum. Very active. I am impressed and would like to welcome myself so hello everyone. I have a product that I created for about a year now. The website can be viewed at www.diginav.us. I have marketed it through sponsored ad's using google and yahoo with some success. It seems there are ups and downs using this method or maybe my campaigns are just not tuned correctly. I guess I am here to ask how do I get more traffic? Or, how do I get more sales? I devoted quite a bit of time into creating it all and I had visions of better success. Its a unique product and I expected it to do better so I am trying to blame it on marketing techniques and not it being a bum product. Please, any and all members openly express your thoughts because I have been having serious thoughts of closing it down. and I really didn't want to do that just yet.
how are your organic search results? How optimised are your Google and Yahoo ppc campaigns? Apart from advertising, have you tried optimising your site to convert better?
Dootch, I really don't know what you mean by "organic" search results. I mean when you say that you make me think that the web may really have a spider in it. Seriously, I have no clue what that means. Ok, on the count of three everyone say "noob". The only way I have optimized my site is by using keywords in adwords and overture. Maybe I am not doing something right though.
Usually people buys products because of its perception on the market. If it is a well known products people would instantly buy it without hesitation. No fear no worry. Only price that matters. But when you sell things online you are dealing with stranger. Do you think you can gain trust quickly from stranger to at least spend time and look at your products. When you are selling online there is a process you should go. You need to build trust. You need to show you are real person a real expert. That site has 13 pages indexed on google and it is mostly related to the products but not to who sold that products. So my suggestion is you show your visitor who you are. Put content that you are the expertise. And do you know that abundance of unique content could easily attracts the spider bots. So that means free traffic. I believe you won't have problem creating content if you really the expert. So why not get it out from your brain and put it on your site. Put it all that other would be impressed by your knowledge. Well that my 2 cents thoughts and hopefully it helps a bit. All the best then.
Organic search he means results through unpaid search engines so say i put certain keyword on google and hit the search botton. The results i get back from that is the "organic search" Other then sponsored ad's with google and yahoo, you may want to submit your website to as many online directory as you can. Be careful thou, don't just submit to any site the pops up as some link will devalue your website such as link farm websites. Other things you can do to promote your site more and bring traffic will be social Bookmarking sites, forums, blog comments. These are all the methods that can help you.
Im not sure I understand what your saying. Are you trying to tell me that the wording on my site is bad?
Forget every thing. You dont need to spend money after sponsor add and organic result mean a free listing in search engine which is showing in left hand side. with the help of search engine optimization you will be able to get a good traffic from it and that will be totally free and so it is called organic.
