If you are not seeing any sales and are just now catching on to what a call to action is then you need to step back and think about things. So you have traffic to your site one goal achieved but before I worry about getting traffic and ranking I put on my "sales" hat and build the best site I can for conversions (remember you are here to sale items not just get traffic to a site). So build multiple landing pages, set up tracking, monitor conversions, tweak landing pages... There are some very good books out there as well, go to Amazon and do a search for "Cashvertising". Read this book, heck read it twice... I did.

The best keyword research tool I ever invested in was Micro Niche Finder. It literally does all the work for you, even evaluates the "conversionability" if that's a word, of your keyword, by giving you an estmated "Online Commercial Intent" or a number that assesses how likely searchers are to be looking to purchase a product. I never start a campaign without it.

If you are getting the traffic then my guess would be that something is wrong with your sales page.

Hi, I took a look at your lens and I think the issue is probably that people are getting more savvy online and don't like to feel they are being sold.
Pre-selling is key. I would suggest maybe thinking about doing a review of the two products rather than having arrows to the links. To some, it will be an obvious attempt to get someone to buy something and unfortunately many people don't like that.
A review will build some trust and maybe get them to make a choice between the books based on which one they think will suit them best.
There is a collection of some absolutely fab free resources to try out and loads of great free ebooks - the link is the last one in my signature if you want to take a look.
Two that are particuarly good are "making your content pre-sell" (the top link on the left of the block of free ebooks) and make your words sell - next to it.
Actually, all the books are worth a look.... imho  and they are free!
I'm actually going through my sites and implementing some of the tips. They make a lot of sense and it is changing the way I write for the net.
Hope this helps!!

Try to check on your content. In the end, what counts most is the content. Visitors will stay long or even comes back and forth if you have fresh, interesting content. Remember, content is king.

Hi mountainmom5, lol, you made me smile, I opened up this forum today and there was my old post sitting there on top thanks to you. It was a reminder of how far I have actually come and its not just about the money, I am still not rich, lol. Its everything else that has come into my life as a result of this road that I chose to follow. The people I have met and the freindships I have formed on line. I am actually meeting 8 wonderful woman face to face in October that I met and bonded with on a forum. I am a moderator on 2 forums and now write for other's websites as well. Got a new business started consulting in my niche. Goes to show what happens when you choose to follow something that you are passionate about, regardless of the competetion. So watch out, one day you may see my hair flying on the Oprah show!

One of the best ways of making sales is, creating curiosity instead of trying to upsell the product. Articles are commonly read by people to gather information. Not for shopping.
Just talk about the product as a third party and don't exceed 500 words. Keep it short and to the point. Talk about the bits of the product but do not tell them everything.
Finally, under your bio box suggest them to get more information if they wish to and put your link.
