Up and Down and all over the show

After what I thought was a promising start in Affiliate Marketing, strange things started to happen to JUSTSALOU for no apparent reason.

From climbing my way through Google all of a sudden I disappear, from 60 organic searches a day to zilch overnight. OK, Google throws a wobbly now and then.

When the Google traffic stopped, the next day traffic starts from Yahoo (not a lot just a little).

Fear sets in that I have done something really bad and have been penalised, but... with only a minor amount of traffic the sales still happen, in fact things got a little better.

Have to say here I am only a little fish in the market, I set myself a target of £20,000 in sales and £500 commission for the first year.

After 10 months  I have £23,000 in sales and £1150 commission, so pleased so far.

Back to the search engine thingy, the last few days has seen the Google traffic return, around 110 visitors all organic. (i don't do ppc), and also a good deal of returning visitors to the website.

I was also pleased to see a broader range of search terms heading to my site (after a reshuffle and update of the pages and menus).

The problem, not a single sale from this traffic, and click-through down too, Page hits for the relevant searches looks OK, and the traffic looks well targeted.

So do I leave it, do I fiddle around, do I completely ignore and move on to one of the many other sites I want to get running.

I don't think I shall ever know..!
