    Please take a look at the site, i need ANY input what i needed to change.

    I see i am getting hits from adwords but no orders.
    (The adwowrds campaign has the price in it...so it cant be that people get "surprised" since i am exactly offering what my ads say).

    I know i need a domain and better email...but i HAVE to get some earnings in before i spend money on this.

    Please give me any advice how to improve and make my site more professional to get sales in.

    Thanks !!!

    ed: i personally think my site is good, i especially like my logo...but i can be TOTALLY off too....

    ed2: Would the fact that i am Germany turn a potential customer from the US off ? (I mean, its not that i am doing business out of Nigeria ;) )

    Design wise, you need more colors.. maybe try adding a colored globe icon on top and then use a color font. Adding in photographs in the content area would be ideal too.

    After getting a few customer try to add their comments about your service and photographs... you can also do some free seo service for 2-3 customer to get started.... the site looks really nice is simple design... but more info about your service and reports could help people to understand and use your service...

    Finally please try to get a domain ASAP.... if need help you can contact me...

    You need to add some images. Like they say 'an image is worth a thousand words' is very true in marketing. Something like before/after service image would work fine.

    Testimonials of satisfied customers can also get you trust and goodwill.

    Blend your site to look more professional. It looks nice even now, but you can make it better. Get thoughts from a web designer.

    If you are not getting any income right now, then try reducing the price to a low for a few days. This may attract some potential customers to try your service.

    thanks guys..gives me hope. The thing is that i promote this service on some places for a extremely low price..so people can email me the promo "code" and get a discount. But this now is rather a marketing issue.

    Will think about the images. thanks guys !

    re: domain - I swore to myself i first want income (and even one order would do it...lol) before i spend more money . There's lots to spend. Domain is peanuts....but eg. my adwords campaign. This seems to be a big and very competive market.

    Uh..the testimony idea is GREAT.

    Try to attract your customers by focusing on quality content. Also try to spread the word to forums so that they visit your website. I have suggested ways of attracting customers in a cheap way.

    Your site is redirecting to another SEO site, do you own that destination site or are you an affiliate there?

    DMK is right! You need Testimonials of satisfied customers in some visible palace in your landing page page ... this will work for marketing ...

    First, I would make the design look more professional. That might make users more comfortable with purchasing with you.

    Not sure why your domain redirects. That might also put someone off.

    I would recommend trying to break up the posts a bit - at times they seem to run into each other - perhaps a theme that highlights the date of each post a bit more
