Google ranking leads to little traffic and no sales!
Hello my WA friends. Here's my quandary. I have have 5 pages in the top 20 in Google. One of my pages is on page 1 twice. It had been 1st & 2nd but currently in 3rd & 4th position. I've been told that ranking will lead to traffic and ultimately sales. I'm seeing neither. Can anybody help me out here?

Thank you all.

I just visited your site. It is very nice, but I am surprised that you say you expect sales. It does not look like you are selling anything! You give advice on gardening, but what do you sell?

Thanks Guy. I'll take a better look at how/what I'm selling. I appreciate your critique. Wanna buy a lawnmower lol?

I'm new to this so please take this with a grain of salt. You have a great site (probably why it's ranked) with a ton of information. As i'm reading though I see casual, if you want this click here, types of links. I suggest being more of a salesman when selling. Tell them that if they want the results, they need to have THIS. You have all the information spoken of in the WA training, you are providing your customers with tremendous value, so now lead them to the sale. You need to create the urgency to buy. Keep at it because you are absolutely on the right track!
Thanks Scott. You make a valid point. I was indeed trying to soft-sell. I was in fact considering, as you recommend, creating some sense of urgency. Guess I was tip-toeing to much. Need to find that balance. Thanks for affirming my suspicions.You say you're new to this so, Welcome! I feel you'll do just fine.

What sort of traffic were you expecting based on the keyword research? According to one of your past blogs, you've been on Google's first page for about 2 weeks now so I would guess a little patience is in order here. You're on the first page! Even if the keyword research suggests traffic of 50 visitors per month, you should see 350 visitors to that page by the end of the year. If 10% convert to sales, that's 35 sales by Christmas. I suspect profits are just around the corner for you -- how exciting!
Good luck!
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm trying to be positive. Don't want to stop digging a foot away from striking gold.Thanks again.

Ranking leads to traffic, but it is only "conversion" that make sales.
How is it now?
