Question help...what to do with this traffic?

Hey Guys,

So I have a youtube video that is getting me about 20 clicks/ visits to my affiliate website site per day.

The traffic is highly targeted to the offer since it is a review of the product and after 1800 visits I still have not made a single sale.

How can I leverage this traffic to make a little bit of extra income from this video?

I was thinking since none of the people are wanting to buy from two different products the market must not be that *HOT* even though I know it should be.

Anyways I was thinking about parking my domain and just collecting the adsense...but before I do this I was just wanting to know if anyone had any other great Ideas....

Thanks for any input,

Santorini

20 clicks a day isn't much really. You'd need a least a couple of weeks worth of data to really know if this is worth pursuing or not. Could be the product, could be your site or could be that youtube just isn't going to convert for your niche.

If you want to PM me the link to your site I'd take a look and give you some commentary. Best I can do with what you've said.

Targeted or not, most people are on YouTube for fun and might get curious from a video and visit your site.
But this doesn't mean their targeted in the sense of "in a buying mood".

When someone is looking for a product a search engine is still the obvious choice. So after your vid and your site they might go on to a search engine to get more info.

You could use cookiestuffing on your site or work with an incentive. Even if they find other sites with the same product they could return to you because you offer them something more.

Hope this helps.
