| 279418 | 2004-10-09 03:29:00 | Hi guys, I am in need of some helpful criticism of my online shop: http://www.jgih.com Please comment on the prices, ease of use, look, quality of pictures, navigation, professionalism etc. Feel free to place a testing order, just mention somewhere that it is not to be taken seriously. The reasoning is that in 150 or so unique visitors / month (more like 400 now) there have been no sales, and I need to know why. Our only advertising is on Google (search for "pentium 4" or something to see ad). Thanks. George |

| 279419 | 2004-10-09 03:49:00 | you need to have a separate products page showing or atleast describing what other products are available. the page is too cramped for comfort these are just minor compared to the prices tho more competitive prices needed imho |

I am making no such suggestion. I am seeking advice on making the site better, which is very different from advertising. Thanks for the suggestions, RoIdY. George |

| 279422 | 2004-10-09 03:55:00 | Hello george12 :) It is a nice web site you have there IMO it is a wee bit too grey, but that might just be me ;) :) This is from Firefox 0.9.3 Also have you submit your site to search engines? |

Yep. We get traffic from Google, AltaVista, Yahoo, MSN, Lycos - thats all I can remember. We are 5th on Google for "Jgih" (most common search for us). Cheers |

| 279424 | 2004-10-09 04:09:00 | Just updated the prices on the homepage. The actual prices for the items were lower, but the homepage is just written, not taken from the database like the products page. Cheers |

Our only advertising is on > Google (search for "pentium 4" or something to see > ad). Ummmm... the whole relying on google could be your problem. Perhaps you havent noticed but millions and millions of people use google. 150 people who've found you website through google are probably just lost. I agree this does look like advertising to me, your prices arent wonderful and youve got no range what so ever. If you want to succeed in bussiness then you might want to do something major and do it soon. |

| 279426 | 2004-10-09 04:29:00 | My concern would be that on a cursory inspection no physical location or details for the company is given. Perhaps I have not looked hard enough? That rings alarm bells for me though, and I would never do business with a company without knowing who they are and where they are located. The company does not appear to be a registered NZ company either. Unless that information was prominent, the website quality would be immaterial to me, as I would not stay to discover it. |

| 279427 | 2004-10-09 04:29:00 | Too much competition i reckon....and much of that competion is well established.,they only way i have managed to generate sales via my web page is by lowering the prices to such an extent that i lose money,but then the orders flood on in,tripeling the amount of money i lose. I consider my page more of an advert for the shop,my products and my services rather then anything else,and in that respect it serves its purpose. I would imagine that a good proportion of online shops make zero sales.90 percent of the orders to 10 percent of the companies. Would have been good to start up 5 years ago..... |
