People Are Not Clicking On My Website – What Should I Do?

This Friday we are  delving into the beauty industry. Nelle  was brave enough to share with us her traffic concerns regarding her skincare online store Scentrelle. Here are some interesting optimization tips that a business owner in her shoes should definitely take into account.

Meanwhile, if you are having any questions yourself and you can’t seem to resolve them, you could always drop us a line and ask for an advice.  Just like Nelle did:

Q: I would like to ask the difference between why a search term/key word that is prevalent in my website will be searched in Google but why users do not click on my website. Is it too far down the search page? Is the description for my website not catchy enough?

Launching a New Online Retail Business – How to Rank?

Today we will discuss the challenges that a new online business faces when trying to rank in the organic results. This week question was sent by David Goudie. He shared with us his frustration of not being able to get much traffic for his new online business, so we have decided to feature his question and answer it accordingly.

If after reading the post you still have some questions that were not addressed, you could send them our way. Who knows you might get featured on the next Friday Q&A session! But let’s get back to David and his specific question:

Q: We have recently launched a new online retail business at www.sleepmajor.com.We are by no means SEO experts, but we have run a few other sites before and managed to rank quite well organically for our key products and phrase (for the most part by good, relevant content).

We followed the same philosophy for sleepmajor adding lots of good relevant content. We hoped that we would start to organically rank across our range, but we are really struggling. We checked with webmaster tools and whilst we did have some errors to start with, they are now clear (I think). Still, we are getting next to zero organic search traffic to the site. We are like a new shinny shop on the street, but know one can see us or are interested to step inside.

I’ll love a expert review to help us on where to focus to improve. On site front end stuff, back end stuff, or off site links in??
