You need to make your website search engine friendly (I havn't looked at your website)

And you need to get other websites to link to you.

To get traffic you need word of mouth, search engine ranking or links from other sites.

I have to say that I am no expert on legal (i assume it is) highs but I may question how many other people know of this substance and what its intended use is. It took me a fair amount of time to get to the why would I buy it part.

Looking at your key words and the text I was surprised that what I imagine your average student will be typing into google (like "legal high") didnt appear once.

I guess it depends who you want as your target market - I would suggest the site really isnt aimed at students/ young adults but I am not sure who it would be.

I have never heard of your product and your page does not tell me anything about it.

If no one has heard of it then it is no wonder no one is visiting your website.

Let's pretend eating it gives you the powers of a cat. At least you should mention the feline powers it gives you on the page because people may be looking for those even if they don't know what the product is called.

I have to say, I've never heard of your product, but it does sound interesting.

Maybe you can capitalise on its uniqueness (and the fact that probably few people know what it is) and produce an article or press release about your product, for posting on appropriate article directories or websites? That may help to direct some traffic your way.

Hi,

I could provide you with some basic seo tips & tricks for drive traffic to your site. The webmasters and website owners are forever looking for links, one-way inbound links are always more valuable than reciprocal links. Some of the top twelve ways to build inbound links to your website are listed below.

1. Submit your website to free web directories.
2. Submit your website to premium web directories
3. Contribute to articles websites.
4. Submit press release about your website & products.
5. Request your website visitors to link to your site
6. Exchange links with other similar websites
7. Submit your website for reviews
8. Offer free web hosting space/freebies in exchange for links.
9. Participate in award programs.
10. Contribute to forum.
11. Contribute to blogs.
12. Word of Mouth & "tell a friend" page in your site.

Are there other link building techniques, which I have missed out? Please add link-building techniques that work for you to this list.

I hope this helps....

The first thing that strikes me is what is the product you are trying to sell?

A brief explanation of what the product is, does, where it comes from, what it's used for on the front page rather than the "About Miraa" page would help.

An analysis of user searching patterns indicates that searches for "Miraa" average at around 0.8 per day, thats just 24 per month. The rest of your traffic is probably coming from other sources such as other sites linking to your site or other search terms that your site happens to have ranked for.

The short answer to your traffic problem is find another product that people are actively searching for or add more products to your site. The numbers searching for your product are far too low to make any money from.

I suspect that you tried it the other way around thinking "what have I got to sell", put up the website and realised not a lot of people were really interested in your product.

The process should be:


What are people looking for?
How many people per day are looking for it?
How much competition is there for the product
Is it worth competing for a slice of the market


Once you know all this then you have a contender.

The next part is the easy part (depending on your skill set) - getting traffic to your website. It's only easy when people are actively seeking / searching for / are interested in what you have for sale.

Besides the traffic problem you need to look at your sales process for anything else you are going to put online. The website at the moment wouldn't do a great job of selling your product to me even if I had a need for it.

Why?

Because there is nothing on the website that makes me realise that I have a need for it. To me it's presented like "here is a product, buy it if you like".

You need to research sales letters and how to write copy that sells a product, benefits, features and so on.

Good advice !!

I know what Khat is, but that is because I have spent a lot of time in Africa and I used to work in a shop that sold herbs. But reading the above comments, it is very obvious that many people will not know what it is.

You need to clarify the product on the first page, make the first page more like an advert, then at least people who visit will remember what it is.

My understanding of it, is that it is a root that is chewed, to stem hunger and keep you awake. It has also been described to me as something a man would take to increase stamina. Am I correct?

try using Gumtree,advertisng is free and its a great site and very popular http://www.gumtree.com/

If those are the benefits then you should be making that clear on the home page. I'd have looked further if I knew that's what it was.

Increase stamina? I don't do much running :lol:

Hi

Have had a quick look at your page, and essentially you really need to tighten up your copy.

Few of the keywords by density on the page at moment are related to your product!

It would be a good idea to avoid generic words such as "welcome" and start off with heading tags that describe your products and have the product name in them - also place it a few more times in the body of your homepage.

The Flash heading of the page won't be indexable by search engines, consider reducing the size this takes across the top of the page and writing the name of your product in large text for instance to the left of this.

Mostly it's a case of hard work monitoring from your logs what search terms are coming through to your site, trying different things and tweaking in response, seeing what impact these have then repeating the cycle.

Good luck!

Cheers

Dan
