    I looked at it with a "visitor" point of view. It looks like your items are sold out because the prices are scored. That would be a start.

    I found out that your website is lacking Visitor As your alexa rank is 2,140,569 Either your website is new or your website's Facing lots of competion Less

    * You should improve website ranking .
    *Monetize your website with ads to make some Extra $$$$$ via traffic :)

    yes that is a sales tactic, beneath every product it says "call 800-990-1108 for today's reduced sales price" - however, the fact that you think they are sold out due to the crossed of price, means that other people do too.

    ty for your input Dave.

    How much net profit do you suppose I can earn per month? From what I understand, it would be pennies.

    Regarding the lack of visitors, that is exactly why I started this thread. I'm trying to do the SEO on my own and make other improvements on my own. I do not have the $$$ to have pro's do it all.

    If I can get visitors, I can eat and pay rent, if not, I'll be in a tough spot financially. The site does have a PR3 so I'm not starting with a pure dud, but time is money and today I made no sales.

    Thanks 24wallpapers, but I just don't believe adding ads to my site will be a net positive.

    how valuable are FaceBook likes? In other words, should I spend time trying to get 200 people to like the page, or is that just so minimal that it doesn't really matter. If Google does not reward sites organically that have say, under 100 Fb likes, then I will save my time trying to get my FB page more likes.

    also, does this FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/KingsOfCardio?ref=hl for my site look like a bunch of BS spam, or does it look decent? :confused::confused::confused:

    Please do not let your optimism fade because that is last thing you should do. You can check out similar sites like yours that have good business and find out what it is that makes them tick. You can then implement similar tactics and strategies. Marketing requires that we keep trying and improve on what works and drop what is wasting our efforts and time. Good luck.

    point out its US wide free shipping or not.

    do you think how many visitors will read these text contents in the footer of homepage? take too many times, and can't catch the point.

    I suggest you share some fitness tutorials, blog or video

    put some SNS button for customers' need

    I have a fitness blog on the home page. You are right about the tutorials or vids, those would appease potential customers and Google's algorithm at the same time.

    If I was looking for something online and found a site offering it but without an online way to buy it, I would just copy the model number and go to Amazon, search for it and buy it there.

    I tend to think that a countdown timer puts pressure on someone and I do not like un-necessary pressure. How ever if you intend to make quick sales, that would be a function a countdown timer would perform very well. However, I would like to make sure I do not put anybody under pressure to do anything. For instance, if you subscribe to my mailing list, you should do so because you think it will be useful to you rather than the fact that you are running out of time.

    Its a nice site. But i wonder if users read bottom text at all. Either you should brief it or put it in a separate landing page. Another thing is that "regular price" and "your price" both are striked out. I wonder what is the selling price of each product...

    it's just a sales tactic. It works b/c it gets people to call and people like to talk to someone when they are getting a 400 pound treadmill delivered to their house. They want to talk about shipping and so on and we can make customers feel like they are negotiating, which they really are, because we will go close to our cost to get a sale. If they don't buy at X price and the price is the reason, we offer it for less, up until we will not make enough profit

    I think the sales tactics are misguided. Striking out both prices is confusing. Not being able to buy it online is inconvenient. My experience with the site was looking at "Precor EFX 556 Elliptical Crosstrainer Certified Remanufactured"

    There are two prices. $3997 and $2439 both are striked out so it leaves me wondering how much it really is and what other people sell it for. Also I don't see a way to buy it so my reaction is not to call in, it is to check what other sites offer it as.

    So I did a search and find that Amazon has it for $1899. $500 cheaper, and I don't have to talk to anyone. People don't like calling in. They don't want to talk to anyone. Telling yourself that people want to call in is just fooling yourself. They want to order online. You don't believe me? I guarantee that Amazon sells more of these than your site does. Why is that? It's partially because of their brand name but people wouldn't know what Amazon was if they forced people to call in to find out the real price or to place an order.

    Sure there are some people that might want to call in so that is a great option but I think you are missing the majority of your sales by not giving them an online option
