remember what G is looking for when ranking top sites:

1. Unique content
2. New content

It has neither... I've had datafeed sites just disappear - i've then added news every day and they come back. Maybe try that as well.

Hmm...never thought about that before. Might have to remove some adsense

I actually saw a merchant doing this! Crazy waste of a visitor to just send them off to an adsense link

Thanks for all the tips guys..
So far I have removed the adsense
updated feed to show more relevent stuff
updated image ads at top to more kids shoes niche
added an ECU to the sidebar (experiment)
added a hover state on menu. (adding an active state is a bit of a pain but will do it later)
added open new window on cloaked links

Any more ideas

I would say take off "Highlight lowest price" on your ecu as it's not necessary.

Consider adding a call to action (Buy Now / Shop Now)

Maybe also add click ref to your ecu so you can see what unit your click came from.

I'm not convinced if "Take me to this deal" is really the best fit. I also think people will probably be discouraged when they don't find more information on your product pages.

I.e. http://www.girlsboots.org.uk/pull-on...gh-boot-junior

All you have is a picture. People will want to know more - i.e. material, sizes, maybe some kind of description.

"Buy now from StoreName" would probably fit better than "take me to deal"?

The prices aren't even the same - You list it as £10, but it's actually now £8 (http://www.minibarratts.co.uk/en/Pul...inks-_-Generic)

@peter
yes its not right, i will add "shop now" and an image of merchant & raise issue wiht Awin about minibarrats datafeed errors - but i cant correct each wrong product! there are 100's, besides if the actual price is cheaper than advertised then great lets hope it converts !

The average time that a visitor spends on your site is 0.53 seconds.
Bounce rate around 30% ...

If this quickly leaves the page, it means that he came to the wrong place ... Every third visitor try to get transferred to one of your pages where it waits message that the requested product non existed for a long time ...

How this is resolved ...

Appealing graphic advertising, with emphasis on the reduction of price or something like that (action, sale, special offers, etc), to maintain the attention of visitors and showed interest by the products you offer ...

Pictures of products to be more attractive (product specification and pictures from various angles) ...

Of course you must have a product worth buying ...

I know this is an old thread, resurrected by a possible spammer, but I cannot see that your site will ever make the money you want it to.

Items like shoes will only sell for 2 reasons - 1 - the person has already tried them on in store and has bought them at a later date or 2 - there is a VERY CLEAR returns policy. Most women I know (and I know a shit load ) may buy on a whim but will want to know how to get their money back as 50% of the time they wont keep them.

That said, the first item I clicked on was not in stock and the domain is a .org.uk (but thats an arguement for another time)
