Hi My website is doing poorly this year so if you have any suggestions or ideas please let me know.

My website has never done more than $ 250 per month but right now it is down to $ 40-60 per month , with the traffic not much lower than last year (around 175 per day instead of around 200 per day. It does fluctuate with the seasons but never this much – it hasn’t been this bad in 5 years.

Any you have to possibly boost me will be VERY welcome.

Thank you Craig http://www.victoria-bc-canada-guide.com

And what is it that creates this revenue or not as the case maybe.

**payment proof** · 04-11-2012, 03:12 PM

What have you been doing SEO wise? Do you continue to add or update content? Create backlinks? Using keywords and keyword phrases?

**PaulW** · 04-18-2012, 02:03 PM

Having ugly text ads where you should have inviting content can't help! It also won't impress search engines.

Aye, you have to manage those entities. You might want to take some advice on how to spam forums though.

It's also worth a shot to look at your closest competition. Are they providing better service or product?

**thatstrust** · 04-20-2012, 04:28 AM

There are many ways to better monetize your website. Provide users with simple instructions and guide them.

Well I'm no marketing expert, but I just clicked your homepage and tbh I was ready to give up reading within a few seconds. Your homepage starts out by telling me what you think I already know or have done - that's not an attention grabbing start. There's an awful lot of waffle in the first 2-3 paragraphs. I'm saying this because I'm assuming you want me to stay on the site - but as Chis asks - where do you get your revenue?

If your revenue is thru ads, I don't see them.
If your revenue is through buying something after tarrying awhile at your site - I'm afraid I don't feel like staying.

I have been reading a great book which is about getting a message across called Made to Stick http://www.amazon.co.uk/Made-Stick-I.../dp/1905211570 - if you want people to stay at your site, you could use a few ideas from this book. If you want visitors to click away via ads, make them more prominent.

Also, you might want to consider the impact of things like "Please check times for services at the churches in Victoria by calling them or looking for their websites. " - what's the point of people coming to your site for this? Can you get the info on a feed or frame into your own site? Take a tour of your own site from the point of view of an outsider. Good luck!

$250 per month is actually quite impressive for a single Adsense website. Some of my best sites only made me $100 a month. The problem probably has to do with the fact that the ads that are showing don't necessarily have to do with your website. The only solution I have is to start 3 or 4 more sites.

First; check Google adsense help center
https://support.google.com/adsense/?hl=en
Their help center should help
-
Next; check your keywords (keywords are the words visitors use to find your site)
http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/search.html
-
Your weekly traffic should vary by day with the middle of the week being high and the weekend being low (but average being steady or growing)
-
To increase revenue, either increase traffic or get more revenue from the existing traffic. Articles with ads that related to the article increase traffic and revenue.
-
You may want travel agents as affiliates.

hope this helps

Have good keyword density, have unique+fresh+good content with long tailed titles added your root keyword into it, you should be on your way to success!

**navyfalcon** · 05-01-2012, 10:33 PM

All the suggestions do not help if you don't make some changes.
keep a record of the changes and their effect
If the effect is positive (increase traffic and revenue) then continue in this direction.
If the effect is negative (lower traffic and less revenue) then try a different direction.
It takes about two weeks or more to get results from the changes.
Make a list of the changes you would consider. Then do just one or two and determine the results. Then try another one or two.
-
I had problems with one of my web pages (I have over 150 pages on my site).
I made changes and at first the changes reduced the traffic, but keep changing until I received good results. Now the page does better and gets more revenue. By the way (BTW) I forgot to say you need to optimize each page as if were your site or main (index) page. My index page gets less than 1/5 my total traffic (meaning most traffic does not go through my index page but directly to the the appropriate web page - results of individual SEO per web page).

hope this helps

Thanks for all your help & suggestions Craig

**daison3** · 05-02-2012, 02:49 AM

you could also use some social websites like facebook/twitter/etc. just for them not to outdated to your website contents, almost all traffics goes to facebook, because it is the main site for social and you can also use the facebook ads just for them to impress. Google Adsense is also an alternative way or your second option to enlarge your web traffic.

:::You must hire:::
For Facebook API:
--Web Developer that knows Facebook API
For Google Adsense
--Hire some (SEO)Search Engine Optimization Experts

**longlivemedia** · 06-16-2012, 09:27 PM

I would suggest that you implement SEO strategies. Or you can outsource that if you want. There are a lot of freelance experts out there.

**anyareal** · 06-19-2012, 05:25 AM

Do a make over. Check the source code and design of the site and make sure its crawl-able by search engines. Do a little of SEO.

**jmendoza29** · 06-19-2012, 06:25 PM

Hey SCOBAHCAN!

I visited the link you gave me and here's what I think that needs to be done.

I have been doing marketing and sales for the past 7years of my life and I've seen websites appear and disappear. There is only 2 directions you can go in the online business. "Go up or go down."

I can see potential in your website but it needs more than a little change. You must be willing to give it a new look with colors that attract the eyes of the visitor. Make it appealing! Give it a look that will set a first and lasting impression! This will give you a higher chance of getting a returning visitor.

Get affiliate programs that is very relevant to your website! This will generate extra income for you. Next, sign up for CPA deals with advertising companies. A good way to start getting more traffic!

Hope this helps buddy!

**naturalelixir555** · 06-22-2012, 03:43 PM

Consider another domain. To me a double hyphenated domain doesn't jump out as the best source for that particular information / product. Then consider a fresh design of your site, even if it's a template of sorts.

**CodeArsenal** · 06-24-2012, 03:44 PM

Probably quality of content deteriorated...

**PrimeOutsourci** · 06-26-2012, 10:25 AM

Consider all the SEO techniques and improve the contents of your site.
