I’m very new at marketing on the NET but learning each day. I am now in the process of changing my landing pages. I am in a very specific business – “Organic & Natural” bedding and home products and only in the US for shipping purposes, so my audience is limited. Even so, traffic doesn’t seem to be my problem – the COST of it is. So far I have only used ADWORDS and the cost is $3-$5 per word with 150-200 clicks a day.(I smile when all the books talk about .05-.10)From my past sales experience in this field I should be receiving at least a 20% Call to Click rate. Out of that my closing rate should be 80%. (THEY WANT WHAT THEY ARE CALLING ABOUT & USUALLY NOW!)I just need them to call. Right now the calls are so few but at least my closing is 100%.

Since reading your book I’m in the process of looking into Adsense as a way of cutting expenses.

Apparently my PROBLEM IS WITH MY WEBSITE since I DON’T receive the calls. I’m more than fairly priced, have an excellent product, ship free, etc. Just like my 4 top competitors. Or my 2nd problem could BE 1 of my competitors (I stopped working for him due to serious unethical practices and he is vindictive) If a client calls him first he WILL LIE about us and there’s nothing I can do about this problem except depend on the “numbers” working in my favor (and control my expenses). This is where you come in.

Do you have a recommendation of who I might get to review my site? I have also purchased Perry Marshalls Complete Course and they do offer 2 site reviews but I haven’t heard from anyone. By the way that is where I read about you.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated. I can’t be the only one with the problem of getting the phone to ring. This wasn’t so with the previous company. He says he’s an internet marketing guru but I know he only uses Google and Engine Seekers, no blogs, no adsense, etc. He spends on the average 800-1200 a day with google. I’m at about 600-700. Does that make sense?

Thank you for your time

I really hate editing php in WP or even SMF to get what I want done. Lol, like everyone else I want it premade so all I have to do is add the widget and it works.

My wife and I have invested in a product that we would like to get help on… we are promoting a
own your own cleaning job; upholstery/carpet
make 3-450 a day…etc….

would love to find a way to promote bring traffic which then they contact a co. if they sign up we are paid….everyone could use an opportunity like this to make additional income and be their own boss…..esp college kids

All my best to you and your blog Success

almost all of the sites I am looking at use blue, green and orange.

Is there some reason why people are using these colors?

thanks

what is the best way to find other blogs with similar demographic/customer interests

what is the best way to link a sales landing page….or an order form with a blog

how can you add an amazon affilaite store to a blog site?

how would you set up a virtual book tour using blog selling?

is it fair and accurate to say: categories are only used in your internal archives….and tags get blasted out in RSS feeds?

does google count posts as duplicate content if the post is kept in the archives…and as a separate URL

does google search the entire content of the post. for keywords..or just the title…..or just the categories.???? does a title have SEO priority over the post….or the categories?

does google give more credibility/rankings to recent posts…than archived posts……do they read all archives?

what is the best way to use the page feature as a quasi admin panel for a content management system…i.e., i want to create a template for the page…..and then have my content managers post new content whenever needed…..ala a joomla admin panel

I would like to set a Blog for my business to make money, what is the steps I should take? I am very new at this.

Thanks for your help
