Working hard but no results

Hey! I just want to say GREAT JOB!!!! If you are new to IM and you are already making a "few" sales that is where you need to start. Without looking at your competition stats there could be a number of reasons for your ranking that I cant answer without seeing.

One month or two is great for being new and already making sales so you are doing something right. How many articles have you written? Or better yet, what is your marketing method?

Your doing great!

Lett - You low ranking on Google could be because a number of reasons. Could you answer these questions for me?

1. Did you buy an aged domain, or brand new?
2. Are you using wordpress on your site?
3. Do you know basic SEO and how to properly optimize your site?
4. Are the links you are building good solid backlinks from reputable sites i.e. ezinearticles, squidoo or hubpages?

While waiting for organic search position, consider buying traffic with Adwords. You have one competitor, so this should not cost much.

I think you have done very well for someone who just started.
But 2 months is long enough.

You need to do a bit more aggressive link building.
Concentrate on obtaining links from a variety of top authority sites like social sites and other content hubs to maximize your link spread. If you don't know what I'm talking about check out my total dominator method.

But seriously though...not bad for a start mate!!

Thank you, you are really inspiring.


1. I bought brand new domain.
2. No, i made site with xsitepro.
3. I'm still newbie so i still learn everything i can. Maybe i have misunderstood something?
4. I think i can answer this with "yes".

Thank you
I could try, but i think that i am doing something wrong.

Thank you

1. Maybe

2. I doubt it. If i still can see me in ranking then i shouldn't be sandboxed or banned by google.

No i don't have that, but i am thinking about doing that all the time. Thank you, i will do it in next few days.
Thank you, that may work.

Some "Experts" say the more the competition the better.

you probably don't have have much competition because it doesnt make any money.

Don't believe that your competitor has no links. If it's an aged domain, it has some links pointing to it. Count on it. You don't get the whole picture of links from any of the sources out there. They all give just a partial picture.

You need links. Use the keyword you want to rank for as anchor text in your links. Make getting them a regular part of your daily routine. It builds up. If it's truly a very low competition keyword, you'll see results pretty quickly.

go to google's keyword tool and type in your main keyword. now, google will give you a list of relevant keywords. use the top ten relevant keywords and do some on page SEO with those keywords obviously including your main keyword, anyone can correct me if i'm wrong but look for 2-4% keyword density for your main keyword, then about 1-2% for the related keywords, suggested by google...

if you have other keywords, do the same for other pages on your site. you could consider taking any articles you have written and posting two or three a day up as like a latest news blog, this will show google that you are updating regularly.

just reading more about your site, I'm sure most will agree with me highly recommending building a WordPress blog. It's free and when you link back to your site, you're giving good quality backlinks with relevant content!

Thank you, you are really inspiring and gave me few new ideas. Thanks a lot.

Actually it does make money, ranking good with bad keywords made me sales already, when i will be in top for the general keyword i should make some nice cash.

Thank you, i will try to stick with your advice.
Very good advice and well explained, thank you!!!

Thank you all so much! All your advices are great.

What do you mean you only have one competitor?

If you aren't ranking, then you must have some competitors. Otherwise there would be no one to be ahead of you.

Do you mean you only have one competitor that you believe has a chance to outrank you?

yo Lett, be patient. We all make mistakes.

I just launched my website a few months ago too. I havent made any sales yet but I'm delighted to say that I have street cred and a good rep, based on what ppl have commented on my blog.

You've made a few sales. That's good. I haven't got none. Do not despise humble beginnings.

You are on the right track, one month in and you have not that well, thats great to hear

Keep going, if your only source is google, then give it a little time.

I would suggest
1. Keep putting quality links to your website
2. If you want faster results, look for other traffic methods then google

Well,I think you have already done a good job.Please be more patient to wait for your orders.Sometimes,it needs time for you to see the effect of the ads.By the way,have you paid enough attention to the product or service or the website itself?All of these are also very important.Traffic is not everything.Vistors do not mean orders,either.So come on.

Lett,

Never compare your website with your competitor's site. Its a pretty old domain and it would have taken more time to drive traffic as well.
Your website is hardly 2 months old. So why you rush up? Wait patiently mate.
Rome is not built in a single day!!!
So hold up your nerves. If you do backlinks and other SEO stuffs to your website, wait patiently for 3 months to see the results. And if you still find that your hardwork didn't pay any results, then start woryying over the issue.

As of now you are doing pretty good.

Also, check out whether you are optimizing your keywords in the right way.

There may be possibilities of few other issues in on-page monetizing of your website which could not be dealt by any other fellow warriors without checking out your site.

If your sales is low, check out whether your ADD TO CART page where the customer enters their card details is SSL secured so that it is safe for them to enter their card number and other stuffs.

PM with your site details if you have more queries.

Good luck!!!

Regards.
Paul
