Funny. One thing you can do to attract some traffic is to add a link to the store in your signature in addition to the one you have there now. That way whenever you post here it's a chance for someone to click on the link.
Getting traffic really comes down to getting the word out that you and your site exists and then giving people a reason to come visit the site. You do have a wide variety of products.
Search engine traffic will be one way you can gain traffic, but there's certainly more to it than I could cover in a single post or thread. Ready through the forums here though and also some of the other sources online. It can take a little while to sort through some of the misiinformation, but if you stick with the learning you can get there.
I also wrote a tutorial on the basics of seo, which I think provides a good foundation in the concepts to help get you started.
A couple of suggestions would be to focus your search engine optimization efforts on the specific product pages. Try to write a little more content for each product if you can. It will probably be easier to get your pages rankes for their product name than it will be for more generic phrases.
You can also write reviews of similar products on other sites that would hopefully allow a link back to your site. Reviewing other products could build you and your site as a trusted authority on the type of products you sell.
Mostly try to get yourself out there and let people know you exist. You don't have to push yourself and it's probably better if you don't, but you can participate in online and offline communities where the people who are likely to buy from you will be hanging out. Become part of those communities and let people know what you sell and when they think to look for any of your products they'll naturally think of you and hopefully make your site their first stop in their search. |
it worked!!!!!!!
