    Well i think im not doing this right and i have spent so much money on ebooks and shit that i refuse to buy anymore. I made a total for 84 dollars.... Yep 84...
    I finally after 8 months of work got my website on google page 1 for my keyword.

    wrote about 50 articles, been doing yahoo answers, been trying twitter, tried yahoo advertising( made just the same as i spent), just started a wordpress blog, just applied to adsense, not getting any traffic really.

    Either this is a TON of work or my niche is not working.... which is wierd because at my store we sale the **** out of it.

    Not sure if i should post my site guessing people will just steal my niche (if its worth it lol )

    heck do it anyways http://number1antivirus.com

    im not the ebst site designer i know. Looked at other sites and they are much better yet they sell worse products, Im a computer tech and full time student and i know these are the best of the best. Problem is im not convincing or not the right people are finding my website.

    Well what do you guys think? Should i just concentrate on studies and give this up? sell domain? Suggestions please!

    Just checked the products page. And if ur selling the AV products at a cheaper rate than what the rate is if u buy directly then, you need to make this more evident on the homepage.

    You say you go to college?
    If they have marketing classes perhaps try and get one of the brighter students to have a look at your sales copy.
    It looks like it could use a bit more salesmanship and some calls to action.
    You want to tell your visitors what to do and tell them why it is so urgent to do it now. They have come to you for help so help you must give.
    Else they will put it off and never get around to it until someone else sells them.
    A limited example might be:

    Is your computer under Attack?
    Are you risking ALL of your important information?!

    Recent studies show that up to 65% of the people using the Internet has had their personal computer infected by some sort of computer virus that may be stealing their personal information at the very moment you are reading this! Are you sure it isn't you?

    Don't become another statistic! Act Now!!


    You have the serps, now adjust your sales......
    Good luck

    Cool thanks for the advice. I seen this on other sales pitchs in ebooks but i really really thought it was a turn off. Like me personally if i ever go to a site that has that i just leave but if everyone says it works it must work. Thanks ill try it out and continue building backlinks.... Averaging 50 uniques a day. Ill keep updating

    One key is knowing your target market.
    Who are you selling to?
    You must remember you are not selling to you or I that are tech savy people.
    You are selling to mom and pops that hear horror stories of what a computer virus can do.

    Yes, building fear and urgency are very good sales tactics.
    One thing I learned from a very smart person was to Think BIG.
    Don't be embarrassed to use the high profile titles. People relate that to large companies that they can trust.

    You might have a look in the copywriter sections here for someone to assist you in developing a sales copy or 2. I have bartered with people trading my tech and management services for their writing services.

    I would definitely use another design for your site that looks more professional and not so empty.
    Also, I would just focus on selling one product.

    I must include though, I'm not even near an expert in the matter.

    Yeah I have to say I had a look at your site and I give you prop's for trying your hardest. IM isn't as easy as they say you know! It's hard work so you're not alone there. I tend to agree with Jontish with your site being to crowded with products. Especially with Anitvirus products as if people go to your site anyway it's because they want to buy now or ge the best info to buy 1 right?

    Could you pick out 1- 2 of the best products and concentrate on marketing them, instead of having the amount you do? This way your conversion rates are more possible as there is less to choose from. I don't know if this helps but I have found that if you have too much content on different things people tend to get sidetracked or confused and give up or leave your site to find out more about those Anitvirus products you are offering. I think your design just needs to be cut down not necessarily changed altogether!

    You have done the right thing by posting on here for advice though, someones advice will help you. Goodluck!
