Can someone tell me whats wrong with my site, I have had it for about 6 months and I've bought alot of adwords and also get about 20 visitors a day through google and I haven't ever had one sale? www.campersridge.com
nothing wrong with it mate, its nice design, why not create facebook page and twitter to get more fans and also since your site is shopping cart why not try amazon also. That why youll generate more sales and surely youll have plenty of visitors. Good luck
I can't see much wrong with your site, it looks nice and tidy, and the layout is good as well. About adwords. The keywords you are advertising, can it be that they are too general? Have you tried buying keywords: buy cobra jump starter, cheap cobra jump starter? Also, with your campaigns, are you getting people on homepage of your website or are you getting them to your inner pages like this one: campersridge.com/Portable-power-s/1835 after your site came up on google with a keyword: cobra jump starter? Do people even get to the stage where they click "Add to cart" or they leave ur site before? I can't post links yet so apologies for that non-complete link to ur site.
I have been doing certain pages in my website like coleman instant tent 8 and sending them to that page for that tent, So yea that is what I'm doing right now, I dunno I don't understand
Nice logo,colors and layouts. But some fonts in right look too small. Have some rollovers to make ur site look better.
sitemap robot.txt these are the important factors for google to crawl you and submit your website to directories and yellow pages to get more backlinks
This site has a ton of potential. Don't be stupid like so may people and give up on it now. It has a clean design and very few problems. One thing I would definitely add is a trust seal or two. You want to display a "Secure SLL" logo prominently and you definitely want to highlight your low price guarantee and privacy policy more prominently. I did not have time to check the actual product copy versus the standard manufacturer's copy. If it is the same, you definitely want to change it to be unique. Without unique product descriptions, Google will ignore the pages - "been there, seen it, nothing new here." What you need more than anything is more visitors. 20 people per day is only 600 people per month. That should have brought you at least three sales per month, assuming your prices are in line, which they appear to be. It could also be a bit of a problem if many of these products are available at a local retail store. Why pay for shipping and have to wait for a product if I can head down the street and pick one up? While that will certainly hurt conversions if people can buy locally it won't absolutely kill ALL business, assuming you have enough visitors to offset the local pickup option. You need to build more trust and become THE "go-to" place for camping information in order to get far more visitors. You should build your following through a blog that is part of your website and the authority that the blog gets will flow through to your website and boost its rankings. This niche is absolutely made for social networking. There are so many camping related groups, forums and boards out there, that you should have no problem at all building an audience. The thing is, though, you need something compelling to send followers to. This website needs a blog that talks about all kinds of camping problems, solutions, stories, etc. Maybe even a forum. As you engage with people who are interested in camping, don't just promote your own website or forum. Subscribe to other camping-related blogs and point people to helpful articles you find at those places. Occasionally link to something compelling on your own blog when the time is right.
Getting visitors a day doesn't mean they'll buy something you have to attract them, 20 visitors is nothing, when your getting a thousand or more a day you'll see sales. You may want to buy some paid traffic. How old is it? Looks very nice, but the font on the bottom that cursivy thing is hard to read.
By the way, I forgot to mention two other things ... Your home page would do far better with the search engines if there was actual copy on it. With no words, there is nothing to rank. You do have a solid gold keyword phrase on your website that you have not optimized for at all. "Coleman tents" has an exact match search of 603 searches in the U.S. PER DAY. Not only that, but after examining the websites on page one for that term and how they have built their pages, you should have a pretty darned easy time of getting onto page one for that search term. Only three of the actual ranking pages have any Page Rank at all, four of the page one websites have zero unique backlinks to the page. Yes, I realize they are all "big companies" but they are only where they are because nobody has tried to compete for those terms and beat them. Without a doubt, I would create a couple of paragraphs of copy for the Coleman Tents subcategory to give that solid keyword phrase a decent chance of ranking. That phrase alone should make this a very profitable website.
this is a answer to all your questions, I do have secure seals there on the bottom of my site, and yes my website host has a program that shows abandon carts in my website and since I started it I have 1976 abandon carts. My questions is how do I target exact phrases? Thanks guys this is good advice..
WOW. Your site looks really great, dude. I can't see why you're not getting traffic. Work a little bit on your social marketing. Make some youtube videos about your site, post on related forums,blogs, etc.
hi, Dont worry man actually in my point of view i noted that your PR is low try to increase your PR, then your business will get boosted try it soon...
Thanks Guy I got my first sale last night, but I was using adwords, but its destroyed my bank account so I wont be using it any more but it still boosted my confidence , I have made a fan page on facebook, If you want you can help me out and give me a like! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Campers-Ridge/109019332512783 and now my keywords have dropped of the map so I'm getting no traffic but i have a company doing off page seo on my site. My site is around 6 moths old I had a site before this one but i changed host and went with a different design so my domain is 2 years old I just dont understand I should be getting some clicks
Nothing is wrong with the design. It looks good and professional. There some things that could be done to optimize the design for conversion they are too minuscule to worry about at the moment. Scottymack, and nichebacklinks had some good point. My advice would be work on building organic traffic. 20/day is little. With an ecom site in a competitve market you can assume a .3-.5% conversion rate. Experiment with adwords, specific long tails and doing it cheap. Maybe budget 5/day. and write it off as a learning expense. At such a point where you are get 50/day.... Consider getting a phone number. Most people look for this as reassurance that you are a legitimate company. Most will never call -- they just want to see the number there.
