    Man, don't take it personally-- I'm just saying that if it isn't converting, there are places for improvement, and that the design is one of those places.

     

    :lol: no, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that!

     

    But, I was looking around, and discovered that I can modify that site quite a bit... so, I'll have to mess with that.

     

    Thank you for your response though!

    "Any thoughts?"


    Are you talking about this site:


    http://somnistatic.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-heart-of-the-sun



    I do freelance web dev for a company that does SEO... they spend a lot of time and money tweaking up websites, because once you start to measure outcomes you can see what is working and what isn't.


    Getting more traffic but fewer "conversions" which is a fancy SEO dude word for whatever you're trying to get people to do with the site (buy some shoes, sign up for an appointment, give you their email address, look at another website) is a very common problem that you can measure on about any website where you have specifc goal.


    Now, you can get a lot of traffic, but if you turn off folks for whatever reason (from having poor design to a bad offer) they ain't gonna convert.


    I ain't gonna do a line by line crit of your site, but to me, the design is at least one place where you you do better.


    The fact that people will decide if they want to listen to your music based on the first 4 seconds they're looking at your page is, to me a really strong reason why I don't even have a site for my music: I don't have time to make something super great, but something half-ass does nothing, either.

     

    I see. I didn't design it... It's a free site.

    Advertise your website with flyers.


    You can design the flyers in Microsoft Word and print them on a laser printer.


    Pass them out yourself and see if more people come to the website.

     

    I've actually been doing this... it is working. (I just print em out at school... :D )

     

    The thing I'm seeing now though, it lots of visitors... but no plays. I don't get why someone would go there and not listen to any of the songs. Any thoughts?

    I've just released my album on bandcamp.com (link in sig) and I am looking for ways to drive even more traffic there in the hopes that more people will listen to it and downeload it. I have a youtube acct, but I don't have videos for the songs yet. I am planning to upload videos soon and promote that too... but other than facebook and twitter, what else can I do to get more "asses in the seats" so to speak?

     

    EDIT: This OP was back in 2011, but I still keep getting traffic. What you see if you click on my bandcamp link is the result of 2014 and 2016 projects where I wrote, recorded and released a new song every day. For a total of 731 songs. I span over many styles and moods. Thank you for checking it out. If you're interested in the link from the original post, it's this: https://somnistatic.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-heart-of-the-sun
