As a description is very uninspiring to the untechnical.

Sometimes the merchants site isn't the greatest at converting, sometimes swapping links to another merchant helps.

Check out their conv rates and prices.

Ok thanks will do.

how has this been working for you?

in my opinion the site needs some more information on the products, In regards to the landing page, i would have a couple of laptops that are showing prices so the customer knows what they are getting, also one thing with this term is that it is quite generic and people will be only be browsing to see what they can get for there £$ etc... before drilling it down to the apple mac pro core2duo, 13.3 inch etc

as you are sending traffic to microwarehouse they will probably buy on brand, so i would maybe mention the brands or stores that you are promoting, as some are big brands and you could get click throughs just for that, if they have a decent cookie length that is. I know micro dont do voucher codes so its one way of not losing your potential sale.

just my thoughts and i am no way an expert but i hope my opinion helps

A classic case of SEOing a kw before finding out whether or not in converts into sales, which is why I always receommend doing some PPC BEFORE working on SEO.

The kw you are ranking for is too generic, and will attract people in the research phase of their potential purchase - once they know what they want, they'll search by specific brand and/or model number, and you'll lose out as you don't rank for those.

Don't forget, it's buyers that make you a profit in this business, NOT visitors. You are running the online equivalent of a library, whereas you should be running a shop.

How many clicking through? Do you think you're being sniped?

[lethal0r]

i bet you get a lot of adsense clicks though right?

you have 2 ads in the most predominant position on your page.

Definitely agree to this always do the PPC first!

i see you are using the affilistore script.

It might also be a good idea to ask a few questions in the affilistore forum as other affilistore users might be able to give you a hand on the description and looks etc of the website.

[Matt Seigneur]

sorry for the delay in replying was away on holiday

Thanks for all the replies - will have an ask around on the affilistore forum :tup

You probably are getting AdSense clicks though, right?

I agree with Michael Anthony saying the domain is very generic, visitors will be in research phase, but that means you should be able to get AdSense clicks.

Also, I'd say that sure, the script lists out products, but how useful is that in terms of getting someone to buy?

Can you not set up categories, i.e. £200-£500, £500-£700, etc etc??

The Adwords are very annoyingly placed, surely your better of engaging with users so they choose a laptop from your recommendation and then buy it via your link.
