Damn frustrating
Just need to vent a bit and get rid of some frustration. I have been a member since May 2015....I've developed by all accounts a pretty decent web site...www.myhealthypaleo.com...I have created and posted in excess of 180 posts of what I consider to be and have been advised is pretty solid/rich content...I have established highly reputable affiliate partnerships...I use Social Media (FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Google +, StumbledUpon), hyper-linking and have an Amazon store...daily tracking indicates on average of 200+ unique visitors per-day...so what is the problem you ask?....I've produced very insignificant sales and pennies of revenue. What the hell am I doing wrong!!!!???!!!.
Okay I feel better and will continue trying to figure this...trust me when I say that I am NOT one to quit or fail!
Thanks for letting me vent. Now stop reading his and start making $$.

Sometimes we all need to vent. It sounds like Ed offered some useful tips worth checking out. I'd be frustrated too if was getting that traffic with no resulting sales:(

Hi Sal , I went to your website and noticed it loaded very slow for me. So i did a speed test at gtmetrix an it come up very slow.One thing i would do is move that top banner below the fold.Also your main image on your homepage the larger the image the slower the page load.Reducing the size of images makes a big difference. That will help your page speed. The speed test for you to try is at the bottom of this post

gtmetric gives you a whole lot of info about your website.
I hope this helps. Let me know.
Ed,
Appreciate the feedback and will certainly look at the links you provided. I should have added in my post that I have a relatively low "bounce rate"...87% of visitors continue after visiting whatever page/post originally that they landed on. Perhaps my thinking is flawed however, given that % its telling me that they aren't aborting visiting other pages on the site due to loading speed(s). Essentially I've got them hooked and yet they aren't buying.
Again, really appreciate your efforts/suggestions.

Very good. Could use a few more graphics to spruce things up and keep the audience's attention but other than that it is very informative.
Sal, the road to success is paved with peaks and troughs. You appear to be doing everything right except one thing in my humble opinion: taking care of your energy. When you let go, money will begin to flow. Money and frustration do not mix; they are both energy but at opposite ends of the spectrum.
If I were you, I stay focused on giving the best. It will come back to you when you least expect it.
I see you overflowing with reach harvests from the seeds you are sowing now.
Guys, find people who are making money here (apart from Kyle and Carson) and ask them for mentorship. I'm sure they'll help. It wouldn't be cool if they didn't.
I wish I could help, but I'm in the same boat but only since the beginning of the year. Something must be off. But ask for help ;-)
Good luck!
Hi
I have the same problem as you, I was getting as many visitors 3 to 4 months after I started as I am now 2 years later, very frustrating. My 4th year renewal comes up in a couple of months and I will be looking at weather or not to do so, sure hate to quit though. Wayne
I am sorry Sal that you are feeling frustrated and upset. I do understand thou and I have not been in as long as you. Also, I do not have all of that work done---yet. I also can't answer your question because I seem to be having the same one. I know mine is not enough traffic and I am working on that lesson again now. So good luck to you and if you figure it out let me know! s

Sal, I took a look at your site and some of your posts. PM me if you are interested in knowing what I think, and if you can take hearing what I have to say ;-(
