There can be a lot of reasons behind your "many pageviews little sales". Let me go into your blog now and see if I can help further improve your website with my 2 cents worth!

Good Luck!

velia,

Install google analytics to analyze your traffics. Your viewer may just be some spiders/bots/crawlers.

The minimum requirement is to have a page rank of 1 or higher, so that whenever google runs its spiders, it will not blacklist that page pointing to a page rank 0 or no page rank page. Do let me know if you guys are interested. For more info, check out my site on the left panel, named "We Are At"
Hi would like to exchange links or banners.

Just my 2 cents:

Link exchange may bring little traffic with possibility of getting some penalties.

The best way would be to link concurrently (if you have multiple websites on your own).

For example:

Site A pointing to Site B, C, D and E
Site B pointing to Site C,D and E
Site C pointing to Site D and E
Site D pointing to Site E

Where E is your main website.

This is a very useful thread. I have been doing online sale for almost 2 yrs but still not doing very well. So, there must be a problem with my site. Please comment on it as I need to improve. Thanks. yixiaodian.blogspot.com

Haven't got time to follow up on this thread. The retail scene is usually quieter after the lunar new yr so I thought I will spare some time (outside my facebook games' time! ) to provide some feedback.

Those who have been following this thread will know that my comments are originating from a potential online customer's perspective since I do not have any online website myself (only physical shopfront). And my comments may sometimes be hard to stomach, so no hard feelings please... And remember, you have already come so far, you are a lot better than some of us (me included ) who have not taken the baby step to create an online store. Keep it up!

Before I comment on anyone's website, juz 1 general pointer.....Not sure how much time people usually spend in coming up with a name for their website but I personally think that picking the right name is important. An example, I will not use "sealovers.blogspot.com" if I am selling office wears, the name will be more suitable for someone selling swimwear for example. Can't stress enough the importance of a good name... but remember to give it some thoughts.... one that is not too common, not too difficult to spell and most important not too easily forgotten. Am I making sense?

Hi dear, taken a quick look at your livejournal. Juz 2 comments:

1. "handmade accessories" - so are these handmade by yourself? If they are, . Be careful with choice of words when you are selling online. As you can see, when you say "handmade accessories", I went in with certain expectation and was a bit disappointed when I see those stack up rings... handmade? but the vintage buttons are kind of cute... I guess we can say they are handmade. Good thing is the words "handmade accessories" only appear here in this post, not in your website. Another eg, just above the 2nd collection pic, there is a "mood:crappy".... I would suggest you remove this, your "crappy mood" turns off your customers.... who wants to deal with a crappy seller?

2. Products - Lack of variety. Perhaps you can bring in more accessories, not juz that miserable 2 bangles. There seems to be a lack of focus.... a little bit of everything... and yet not that many things. Chances of me returning to this website is very slim, nothing to hold my attention.
