If your site is not getting sales, inquiries then why would it need more traffic? Always try to Target your market by interest, benefit so that, when you generate traffic, ROI will increase automatically.

Why Should Customer Buy From You?
Some of the sites have great content & well-designed but they do not offer enough reasons for people to buy. Visitors are coming to your website because they have need. They always come with some question "Why?" In other words, why should they buy? Why should they buy that particular product? Why should they buy that product from your website? Why should they buy now? If you can't give them these answers to these simple questions which mean you are loosing the sales.

What Makes Your Product Unique?
If you are missing with this which means you can get traffic but can't convert them because visitors have lots of options & you have to stop them to your website. You should mention these things in your website what makes your product so unique, different and so special? What your competitors can't give them. What is special you have in your customers? They can't get this information from anywhere else?

Registration For Visitors
You have a website with good numbers of traffic but sales are not happening “Why? You can't track them who have visited your website. You should ask those visitors to sign-up for your free newsletters, Articles, some download options, White Papers, Testimonials etc. Give them an immediate incentive for signing up by providing some samples. You should have options in blog or article where Visitors can leave comments or leave there name. With these you can get some Opt-In leads & update it buy time to time.

Heavy Website - Slow Loading
If your website is taking long time to upload then visitor will not going to stay there for such a long time. Some of the websites are in flash which takes lots of time to upload then visitor’s will not going to stay there until you are not a big brand. If visitor is coming first time to your website & they have to wait to see the website they will not come back to your website again. You can lose your sales due to slow loading.

Testimonials & Case Studies
You should have Testimonials & Case Studies in your website. This helps visitors to know more about your work & your client’s thought. If you have some good customer’s testimonials in your websites then you will get more sales because big companies know that you already did a good work for some big companies they will defiantly try you at least once.

Online Help
You should have online help option or Chat option which visitor can use on the same time if they need any help or assistance.

Offers
If a visitor is coming to your website & they can't see any thing which force them to sign up then why they will sign up to your website?

How to Be A Power Digg User In 30 Day's

I would like to share my experience with all who would like to be a power digger like.

you know it is possible to become a power digg user in 30 day’s.
I knew this with my experience & i wanted to share this with all.

Day 1. Create a Digg account with something unique name which should be easy to read & remember. You should use a profile Image because most of the Digg users will remember you with your profile image. But remember never copy any image & name which look like any other power users because. you should have a unique profile. while creating your profile you can add your other details like IM, website,blog etc. After creating profile most of the users will start adding lots of friends to build a network on Digg but we should not do like that. You should have some patience because Digg needs your time & patience to build a great network.

Day 2-5 You should spend some time to see what kind of stories are coming on front page & who are the users submitting those stories.

Day 5-10 You should start reading & digging the stories. To became a power user you should spend at least 2-4 hours in a day to read the stories & then dugg. You can dugg stories from Upcoming & Recommendation section. Don’t start digging blindly you should dugg only those stories which you like & you think the story can hit the front page. You should dugg at least 100-150 stories & 5-10 comment in a day. You should remember those users for whom you were digging & they will also notice you.

Day 10-20 Now 10 day’s are over now this is the time you can send friends request to some of active diggers. Some will add you back & some will not because there are lots of diggers who are doing the same exercises from long time (What you have started from last 10 day’s) & it’s not easy to get attention of a power user. But you no need to worry.You can send at least 10-20 friends invitations for next 10 day’s & rest exercise will remain same.

Now your 20 day’s are over & your profile will look like.
Duggs:- 2000-3000(approx)

Comments:- 50-100(approx)

Submitted:- 0

Profile Views:- 500-1000(approx)

This can impress any power digger to add you as a mutual. Now you have to Digg for your friends & upcoming stories as well to get more attention from Digg community. That’s why we don’t need 1000’s of friends. As many as you have friends you have to Digg there stories but don’t forget that there is a limit you should not dugg more then 150-200 stories in a day.

Then what should be my next step?
every one have this question in mind.

How to Digg stories for Friends & upcoming section?

1. Gmail:- your friends will send you shouts & you can check those shouts in your Gmail ID. You can dugg those stories which you like & you think that story have a chance to hit the front page

2. Digg widget:- There is a second option on digg(Digg widget) in which you will see the script code. which you just need to copy in any text file. Save that text file any where in your computer in .HTML format. Open that HTML file in your browser & you will see the current submissions of your friends.

Remember never start digging blindly because Digg community is watching you. You should always digg what u like & you think that story can hit the front page.

Role Of IM friends & Shouts IM friends have very important role when you submit any story. With in this time may be you can get some invitations to your IM & You can add them. Most of the power user add IM in there profile & you can also send invitations to them. These all exercises will not take more then 25 day’s of yours & you have still 5 day’s with you.

This is the time to submit your own story.

What I should submit?or what i should not?
There are some URL’s which are white listed on digg & you can use them to submit your first story.

You can use any of the URL for starting. You can take any latest news, Video, Image which you can think Digg community will like. Once you submitted your story you will see within 1 hr time you will start getting Diggs from Digg community without any promotion. Which will show you how famous you are on Digg. If your story have a interested Title & news then nobody will stop you to hitting it on front page. If after some time you see that your story is not getting 3-5 diggs/per hour you can start promotion for your story with the help of your mutual friends & IM friends. Your story can hit the front page within 40-100 diggs in 24hr time.

With this 30 day’s exercise you can easily get famous on Digg and you will see people will give you response when you submit any story. If you have any other suggestions & any other details which i forgot to mention you can give me comments there.

I have lots more about Digg which i wants to share with you.
