I'm walking a fine line here and I understand if my thread gets deleted. I am NOT trying to advertise my product or company, but I learned yesterday that I have a ridiculously high bounce rate (94%). I mentioned in a post yesterday that I had no sales in 41 visits. I was pretty much taken to school about not knowing what I was doing in google adwords (something I appreciate immensely). I received a credit from google for $75 after that post. I decided to try four different ads and just see how many visits I get before I have a sale so I can figure out the conversion percentage. I knew that I could increase that percentage over time with better ads, SEO, and better web designing, but I wanted a base line. Results? 300 unique visitors, 94% bounce rate, 0 conversions. There is a good chance that my ads were totally ineffectual. But I worry that I will work on getting traffic to my site and it will be a waste because I can't convert any of it. Before I start trying everything in my power to increase traffic, I want to make sure that my site will convert as best as my current means will allow.
I am very, very thick skinned (8 years in the infantry will do that to you), so no need to kid glove me. Every word of criticism from you successful guys would cost me thousands from a consultant (who would probably talk out his a$$), so know that whatever advice you give, I appreciate it and will try to apply it. Two contextual pieces when throwing advice my way, I have absolutely no programing ability. I am using Shoppify with the basic theme lay out (not even sure how to get other layouts). Secondly, I have very little money to use right now. I am just a thread on a shoe string
.
If I have overstepped with posting my website, please accept my apology. I know I am risking someone "stealing" my idea, but I couldn't care less. Ideas don't create success, execution does.
Again, any advice will be well received. I have been here long enough to know you guys drop gold left and right without expecting anything in return. I have also seen people get butt hurt when your doing it. Won't happen here. I'm nothing but grateful for the time you guys put into guys like me that have virtually nothing to offer you in return. Anyway, thanks ahead of time for the advice.
