When do you start to wonder?

[kaus]

I know patience is key in all of this and rushing for things is not going to make it happen. That being said when do you start to wonder if it's you and not the waiting factor? By this I mean players downloading and signing up.

My hits are improving and I am seeing alot more organic hits for keywords I wasn't aiming for and through my 3rd party analytics I am noticing bookmarking happening however in the last 6 days at one particular room I have had 70+ click throughs (which is a big jump compared to a month ago). I am not using PPC they are just natural I guess. Out of those 70+ only 1 has signed up.

Another area of my site has recieved almost 40 organic hits for various keywords that are all connected in one way or another. Not one of them has taken the "promo"

So I am starting t wonder if it's actually the way I am coming across vs the waiting game. I am a worry wart by nature so this doesn't help but it becomes so frustrating to see nothing when people are coming.

Alright now my question has turned into a rambling post.

the 70 clicks - 1 signup, seems very low. But this could balance out in time. With 1 room i promote i had around 50 clicks in a week with only 1 signup, but in the next week i had less clicks with 5 signup's and 3 RMP's.

It maybe the site you are promoting? CakePoker isn't going very well for me on one site, whilst CarbonPoker is converting much better.

The best advice i can give is either wait, or change the room you are promoting. You seem to work hard Kaus, so i'm sure the affiliate god's will reward you.

I have a few rooms that have around 50/60 clicks with 1 or no sign ups. I just put it down to bad luck. I make little to no money from my site but I'm not going to give up faith just yet. Give it more time and keep working hard, something should come of that surely.

By the way, how do you check if someone has bookmarked your page?

I am using http://www.onestat.com/ they do have a trial period for you to test it out.

At least seeing bookmarks from various parts of the world for the site and blog means someone is interested and reading lol

Does that onestat show you exactly what keyword phrase each visitor used to find your site? I was looking at the demo and it looks like it shows a list of the most popular keywords used to find your site, but doesn't show exactly what keyword phrase they are coming in on. Only the search engine used.

I know google analytics shows what keywords visitors come in on.

Mine does not but the upgraded version OneStat eBuisness does. I use mine as a back up for google and to cross reference things that's all. I prefer Google for keywords
