I'm honestly not trying to spam or re advertise my site in anyway, but I'm genuinely interested in why I didn't get a better response to someting I posted in the Advertise It forum. Just to prove it, use iamlonely for the promo code and get a free link for your time.

The site in question is http://www.onemillionlonelybloggers.com. It sells links for a buck and has been up for almost 2 weeks now. I've gotten about 500+ uniques since it started and have only gotten 1 sale. I'm really surprised that only one person has purchased a link. I wasn't excepting thousands of sales, but I figured I would end up making my money back for the domain at least...other sites sell links for $50 bucks and sell more links than I do in a few days.

When you go to the site what do you see? Is the call to action good enough? Is it to focused on bloggers? What problems/negatives or virutes do you see? Should I charge more to give it more perceived value?

Thanks
-the mole

Seems a little bland. Add some movement or something to it.

Well, you might add some stats info. Why would I spend $1 for month... if I have no idea who is visiting the site anyway? Why not also add some sort system for permanent links (like $5 or $10) and say that they wll be at least 2 or 5 years (or more) there.

On the template side it is ok, it looks just like a blog but it looks too bloggy. If you are looking for a nice blog type look to help with some type of blogging service, look at blogger.com and so on, you can get a nice design while being simplistic, but not too simplistic.

Thanks for input. I'll put some traffic info on there as well. I already have an Analytics type thing built. This gives me a good reason to make an API for it so I can pull stats for each page from it or something goofy like that. (Just thinking out loud)

You do get permanent links for 2 years on there, just not on the front page. You stay on the front page for 30 days, but your link stays on the tag pages for 2 years. I was thinking of making the tags unique so only one person could have it. That might help some.

I don't think it's going any where for right now, but I'm link building pretty well so maybe in few months.

I figured there would be more pontential as there's plenty of other sites that sell links like this and do pretty well. Here's a few I remember off the top of my head:

http://500words.com/
http://www.499sites.com/
http://1000tags.com/

The only things I see that are different:

1. Permanent link on the front page
2. They cost 20 - 100 times as much as mine
3. Strict limit on the number of links

If I were to do those things, do you think it would be better?

thanks again,
-the mole

It isn't clear what you're offering, and you should build value on your offer.
