How to Market Products on blog

Hi,

I'm Promoting products on my blog by doing reviews of these products. although I'm getting decent traffic, they're not translating into sales. Any ideas?

thanx

A lot of e-commerce owners or marketing companies believe a blog will bring customers and convert in sales.

A blog will bring you traffic and will give you a better ranking in SE. If your blog is well made and the links pointed to your e-commerce, your ranking will be better , and you will get a better exposure, then convert into sales.

Basically the benefit would be indirect, same principal with articles.

Hope that will answer your question

Include a 'call to action' at the end of your article/post. Personal recommendation in reviews work sometimes.

Post comments to related blogs may help but you should not spam blogs.

Blogs are not for selling products. People who buy online would not be comfortable buying from a blog. You may try opening a online store and add links to products from blog. That may help.

I would work on keywords and blog traffic. Also I would reccommend opeining an online type store as mentioned above. You can link the two together.

Do you have banners on your site or text advertising?
