Very early Amazon update!
thanks and good morning
I feel the same.
I too have an extroardinarily low conversion rate for October (ok so its only 2 days).
I said last week that it is likely people have half an eye on Xmas, so we may be stuck in a period whereas people have stopped buying themselves luxuries because they know that Xmas is arriving.... but its still too early to do the Xmas shop.
Some people love Xmas, and plan for it very early. Others dread it, and don't start until late.
But I bet that we will start seeing some great conversions later this month, and November should be manic. The same for businesses though, they are probably waiting for the flurry before unleashing their big Xmas contigency budgets
I am an eternal optimist I suppose
I do think it will pick up and keep thinking I need to shift my focus from my online store to writing a few hubs. Tho my online store might see christmas sales too... hmmm maybe its all good either way
Not to mention my 100th is next for the chopping block, kinda think it would be good to do a fun woo hoo 100 hubs and a year on HP kinda hub.I remember that actually, it got me motivated to challenge myself to write product hubs for amazon actually
Last year I maybe got 10 people through the door in a month! And still sold a wood carving set right before christmas! I was totally flabbergasted! I am getting closer to what you were getting last year (thats mega for me as it was almost zilch for so long) so who knows I may well find this a very merry christmas indeed
Hey if I get my butt in gear I may well be able to up my traffic and even double it, thats the cool thing about writing here. Over time you get better and better at actually writing something that gets views and click throughs
I did not until you pointed it out. Being an American I used to say mom but never really liked it, sounded old to me somehow. Moving to the UK sorted that out for me and I do much prefer mum, somehow doesn't sound quite so old. I really don't understand the logic behind that but whatever
Amongst the blue sea of downward facing arrows is a nice red upward pointing arrow on one of my Xmas hubs by the way
Rather applicable you may think, blue for Jack Frost, red for Santa and all that!How cool is it to always see one or two up arrows in a sea of down ones?
The beauty of having a decent portfolio of hubs

Amazon
I was just wondering what the normal ratio of clicks to conversions is on amazon. I've had nearly 100 clicks but not sold a single thing. Is that normal? Not that I can do anything about it either way, I'm just curious!

On your own sites, what is the affect of two links to the same product
